Frequently asked questions
Cancel Beamjobs: Your Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel BeamJobs in south africa: your complete guide to refunds and consumer protection
What BeamJobs is and why you might cancel
BeamJobs is a subscription-based platform that uses artificial intelligence to help you build professional resumes and cover letters. The service provides customizable templates, AI-driven writing suggestions, and downloadable documents in multiple formats. Many South African job seekers rely on it to stand out in competitive hiring environments, but circumstances change - tighter budgets, job offer acceptance, or simply finding an alternative tool may prompt you to cancel.
Yafee specializes in helping consumers navigate cancellation procedures with confidence and clarity. Whether you subscribed directly through BeamJobs' website or via a mobile app, this guide walks you through the exact steps to cancel, explains your legal rights as a South African consumer, and outlines what happens to your data and access after you exit. Cancelling should be straightforward; Yafee ensures you understand every stage of the process.
Who operates BeamJobs and which laws apply
BeamJobs is operated by qualifIQ, Inc., a United States-based company. Its Terms of Service are governed by New York law, which means disputes and refund eligibility may fall outside South African jurisdiction. Nevertheless, your right to cancel and receive certain protections remains grounded in South African consumer legislation, specifically the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA). This distinction is critical: while BeamJobs' contract is US-regulated, your purchase and cancellation are protected by South African law where you reside.
Why timing matters for your cancellation
Refunds are only guaranteed within seven calendar days of purchase under the CPA. After that window closes, your right to withdraw becomes more limited unless you can prove the service was defective or misrepresented. Cancelling auto-renewal stops future charges immediately, but you retain full platform access until your current billing cycle expires. Acting quickly maximizes your legal position and financial recovery.
BeamJobs pricing and subscription plans in south african rand
BeamJobs does not publish official pricing in South African Rand; costs depend on your payment method and current exchange rates applied by your bank or app store.
| Plan type | Approximate ZAR cost | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | ≈ R140/month | Monthly auto-renewal | AI suggestions, templates, unlimited cover letter generation, multiple download formats |
| 4-week full access pass | ≈ R700 one-time | 4-week access period | Unlimited AI tools, PDF and Word downloads, advanced customization |
| Lifetime unlimited purchase | ≈ R580 one-time | No renewal | Permanent access, no watermarks, lifetime downloads, layout control |
| Free plan | R0 | Always free | AI-generated bullet points, resume scoring, watermarked PDFs |
How your subscription type affects cancellation
Monthly subscriptions at approximately R140 per month renew automatically; cancelling stops charges at the end of your current billing period. One-time purchases (the 4-week pass and lifetime plan) do not auto-renew, so cancellation itself is unnecessary unless you wish to request a refund within seven days. Verify your receipt to confirm your plan type, as this determines whether you must disable auto-renewal or simply request a refund.
Your legal rights as a south african consumer
The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 provides you with enforceable rights when cancelling digital subscriptions.
What the consumer protection act guarantees you
Under section 48 of the CPA, you have the right to cancel a distance transaction (one completed online or by phone) within 14 calendar days, provided the seller has complied with their duty to provide clear information about cancellation terms. Refunds must be processed without undue delay, typically within 14 days of your cancellation notice. Additionally, section 24 of the CPA requires that subscription terms be transparent, fair, and clearly communicated; any hidden cancellation fees or deliberately obscure exit procedures breach your consumer rights.
Your legal position on refunds
You are entitled to a refund if you cancel within seven days of purchase under the CPA's cooling-off period. After seven days, refunds depend on whether the service was delivered as promised. If BeamJobs failed to provide the features advertised (for example, if AI suggestions were faulty or downloads failed), you may claim a refund as a remedy for breach of contract. If you simply change your mind after the seven-day window and the service functioned correctly, BeamJobs may legally retain payment for the period already consumed. However, any refusal to process a lawful cancellation request or repeated failures to stop auto-renewal expose the company to complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC), South Africa's primary consumer protection authority.
How to cancel BeamJobs on the website
Cancelling through BeamJobs' website gives you direct control over your account and generates an immediate confirmation.

- Log in using the email address and password associated with your account.
- If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
- Locate your account settings or subscription page.
- Look for a menu labelled "Account," "Settings," "Profile," or "Billing" - usually in the top-right corner or in a dropdown menu.
- Find the "Subscription," "Membership," or "Plan" section within settings.

- It serves as proof if a dispute arises or charges continue after cancellation.
How to cancel BeamJobs via mobile app
If you subscribed through iOS or Android, you must cancel through your device's app store rather than the BeamJobs app itself.
Cancelling on iOS (Apple app store)
- Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon (usually in the top-right corner).
- Select Subscriptions.
- Locate BeamJobs in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap BeamJobs to open its subscription details.
- Tap Cancel Subscription or Edit.
- If you see "Edit," tap it, then select Cancel.
- Confirm cancellation when prompted.
- Check your email for Apple's confirmation receipt, which documents the cancellation date and your final access date.
Cancelling on android (Google play store)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon (top-right corner).
- Navigate to Manage your subscriptions or Subscriptions.
- Find BeamJobs in the active subscriptions list.
- Tap BeamJobs.
- Select Cancel subscription.
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation.
- You may be offered a discount to keep the subscription; ignore this unless you wish to retain access.
- Google will send a confirmation email; save this as evidence of cancellation.
What happens after you cancel BeamJobs
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you manage your expectations and verify that charges have truly stopped.
Your access and data after cancellation
You retain full access to BeamJobs' tools and downloaded documents until the end of your current billing cycle. On that date, your account automatically reverts to the free plan or becomes read-only, depending on BeamJobs' policy. Your resume, cover letters, and personal data remain stored in your account; you can download these before access is restricted. BeamJobs typically does not delete account data immediately, so you have time to retrieve your work.
Monitoring your bank statements
After cancelling, monitor your bank statement carefully for 30 days. Check that no charges appear after your final billing date. If a charge does appear, take a screenshot or note the transaction reference, then contact your bank to dispute the unauthorized charge. Inform BeamJobs' support team simultaneously using the contact details below. Yafee recommends creating a folder (digital or physical) with your cancellation confirmation email, bank statements, and any support correspondence; this evidence is invaluable if you need to escalate the dispute to the National Consumer Commission.
Refund eligibility and how to claim your money back
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel and the circumstances of your purchase.
The seven-day cooling-off period
Under the Consumer Protection Act, you may cancel and claim a full refund within seven days of purchase without providing a reason. This period starts on the date of purchase (shown on your receipt or payment confirmation). Count seven calendar days from that date; if day seven falls on a weekend or public holiday, you have until the next business day. To claim your refund within this window, contact BeamJobs' support team immediately with proof of purchase (your receipt or transaction ID) and a clear statement that you wish to withdraw under the CPA cooling-off period.
Refunds after the seven-day period
After seven days, BeamJobs is not obligated to refund your payment unless the service was faulty, misrepresented, or failed to deliver core features. If you cancel due to a genuine defect - for example, AI features were non-functional, downloads failed, or templates were missing - you have a legal claim for breach of contract. Submit a detailed complaint to BeamJobs' support team, including screenshots or documentation of the defect. If they refuse, escalate to the National Consumer Commission (NCC), which investigates breaches of the CPA at no cost to you.
Processing times for refunds
Yafee advises that legitimate refunds must be processed within 14 days of your cancellation request. Your bank may take a further 5-10 working days to credit your account. If a refund is not credited within 21 days, contact your bank to verify receipt and ask them to trace the payment. Simultaneously, contact BeamJobs to confirm the refund was sent and obtain the transaction reference or receipt number.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward if you avoid these frequent pitfalls; awareness and caution protect your money and time.
Cancelling through the app instead of the official store
Many users mistakenly look for a cancellation button inside the BeamJobs app itself. App-based subscriptions (iOS and Android) can only be cancelled through your device's app store settings. Attempting to cancel inside the app leaves you unprotected and your subscription active. Always access the App Store or Google Play Store directly, navigate to your subscriptions, and cancel there.
Failing to confirm cancellation
Some users click "Cancel" but do not complete the final confirmation step. Cancellation requires explicit confirmation; a partial action leaves the subscription active. After selecting "Cancel," read the on-screen prompts carefully and tap the final "Confirm" button. Do not close the page or app until you see a confirmation message or receipt.
Confusing the free plan with cancellation
Downgrading to BeamJobs' free plan does not cancel your paid subscription. Charges will resume after your free trial period expires. If you wish to cancel entirely, you must explicitly cancel your subscription, not simply switch plans. This distinction is critical and frequently misunderstood.
Losing your confirmation documentation
Without proof of cancellation, disputing charges becomes significantly harder. Save every confirmation email from BeamJobs, Apple, or Google Play Store. Screenshot your subscription settings before and after cancellation. Store these files in a cloud service (Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox) to ensure they are not lost if your device fails. Yafee recommends retaining these records for at least one year.
Comparison of cancellation methods
Choosing the right cancellation channel depends on where you subscribed.
| Cancellation method | Speed | Confirmation receipt | Recommended for |
|---|---|---|---|
| BeamJobs website directly | Immediate (5 minutes) | Email confirmation + account settings proof | Direct subscriptions via beamjobs.com |
| Apple App Store (iOS) | Immediate (3 minutes) | Apple email receipt | iPhone/iPad subscriptions |
| Google Play Store (Android) | Immediate (3 minutes) | Google email receipt | Android device subscriptions |
| BeamJobs support team email | 1-3 business days | Email confirmation (slower) | Account access issues or app store cancellation fails |
What to do if BeamJobs refuses to cancel or refund
Legitimate cancellations should never be refused; if BeamJobs blocks your request or ignores your refund claim, escalation is necessary and legally supported.
Step 1: document everything
Gather all cancellation requests, confirmation emails, bank statements, and support correspondence. Take screenshots of your account settings, the subscription page, and any error messages encountered. Record the dates and times of all communication attempts. This documentation forms the basis of your complaint to regulatory authorities.
Step 2: escalate to BeamJobs via registered mail
Send a formal cancellation and refund demand via email to BeamJobs' support address (see the address section below). Include your account details, subscription dates, and proof of payment. Clearly reference the Consumer Protection Act and state your expectation of a response within 14 days. Copy this email to yourself and retain proof of sending (a screenshot of the sent folder). Give BeamJobs 14 calendar days to respond and process your refund.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with the national consumer commission
If BeamJobs does not respond or refuses your lawful cancellation within 14 days, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC) at www.ncc.org.za. The NCC investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection Act at no cost to you. Provide your documented communication history, proof of purchase, and evidence of your cancellation requests. The NCC has enforcement powers to compel refunds and can levy penalties against companies that systematically breach consumer rights.
Step 4: dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider
Simultaneously, contact your bank or credit card provider and formally dispute the charge as unauthorized. Provide your cancellation confirmation and the merchant's refusal to honor it. Your bank can reverse the charge and investigate the merchant, providing additional pressure on BeamJobs to comply. This process typically takes 30-60 days but often succeeds where direct negotiation fails.
Contact information and escalation addresses
Yafee has compiled the following contact details for BeamJobs from publicly available business registries and the company's official support channels. Use these addresses for cancellation requests and refund disputes.
BeamJobs support email: Consult BeamJobs' website contact page or your account settings for the current support email address. Do not rely on third-party email addresses; always verify the support contact on the official beamjobs.com domain.
National Consumer Commission (South Africa) - for regulatory escalation: The NCC investigates complaints under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. File a complaint at www.ncc.org.za or contact their toll-free line: 0800 022 652. Include your full name, contact details, account number, and a description of the dispute.
Your bank's fraud or dispute department: Contact your bank or card issuer directly via the number on your statement or their official website. Request a chargeback or reversal of unauthorized charges. Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
When to keep your BeamJobs subscription
Cancelling is not always the right choice; consider these scenarios before you exit.
| Keep your subscription if | Consider cancelling if |
|---|---|
| You are actively job searching and rely on the AI tools | You've accepted a job offer and completed your job search |
| You use the platform multiple times per week | You haven't logged in for more than 30 days |
| The AI suggestions are improving your application success | The service is not delivering the promised features or quality |
| You plan to return to active job hunting within the next month | You've found a better tool or competitor service |
Summary and next steps
Cancelling BeamJobs is legally straightforward when you understand your rights under the Consumer Protection Act and follow the platform's correct cancellation procedure. You have the right to cancel within 14 days and claim a refund within seven days of purchase without reason. After the seven-day window, refunds are only guaranteed if the service was defective or misrepresented. Act promptly, save your confirmation emails, and monitor your bank statement to ensure charges have ceased. If BeamJobs refuses your cancellation or refund request, escalate to the National Consumer Commission or dispute the charge with your bank.
