Frequently asked questions
Cancel Codefinity: The Right Way
How to cancel Codefinity and protect your money in south africa
What Codefinity is and why you might want to cancel
Codefinity is a subscription-based online coding bootcamp that teaches programming to beginners and intermediate learners through structured learning tracks. You access course content on-demand via your account on their website or through mobile app stores, depending on how you enrolled.
Many people subscribe to Codefinity when they want step-by-step training in web and software development skills, often preferring the structure of a guided learning plan over scattered free tutorials. The platform tracks your progress, customises your learning path, and keeps motivation steady. However, if the course doesn't match your pace, your career direction shifted, or budget tightened, you have every legal right to cancel. Yafee walks you through exactly how to do this safely, protecting your money and your consumer rights under South African law.
Who uses Codefinity and what they get
Career-switchers, students, and working professionals use Codefinity to build coding skills on their own schedule. Your subscription is managed online, and depending on whether you signed up directly on the website or through the Apple App Store or Google Play, your cancellation method differs. Yafee ensures you understand which method applies to you before you start the cancellation process.
Common reasons people cancel Codefinity
You might cancel because the course pace doesn't suit your learning style, you've completed what you needed, you found a cheaper alternative, or your financial situation changed. Whatever your reason, cancelling is your right. Yafee helps you do it cleanly and document the process so you have proof if a refund dispute arises.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 gives you legal protections when you cancel digital services. Understanding these rights puts power back in your hands and ensures Codefinity treats your cancellation fairly.
Cooling-off period and statutory protections
Under South African law, you have the right to cancel distance contracts (like online subscriptions) within a reasonable time. For digital services, South Africa's Consumer Protection Act typically entitles you to a cooling-off period of 7 to 14 days from purchase, depending on when you were clearly informed of your cancellation rights and the exact nature of the service.
Codefinity publishes a 31-day Money-Back Guarantee, which actually exceeds the baseline statutory period. However, this is a company policy, not a legal minimum. If Codefinity refuses to honour your cancellation or wrongfully charges you after you've cancelled, the Consumer Protection Act remains your legal lever. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) is the enforcement body in South Africa that can investigate complaints if Codefinity breaches consumer protection rules.
Your right to cancel and refund timelines
You have the absolute right to cancel your subscription at any time. Cancelling stops automatic renewal at the end of your current paid period. Your right to a refund depends on which policy applies: Codefinity's 31-day Money-Back Guarantee, or South African consumer law if you're within the statutory cooling-off window.
Your legal position: If you subscribed fewer than 14 days ago and have not used the service extensively, you have stronger legal grounds for a refund under the Consumer Protection Act's distance-contract rules. If you subscribed within the last 31 days, Codefinity's Money-Back Guarantee applies regardless of usage. Document when you signed up, what you accessed, and when you cancelled. Keep screenshots, emails, and any cancellation confirmations. Yafee advises storing this evidence safely in case you need to escalate to the NCC.
How to cancel Codefinity on the web
If you signed up directly on Codefinity's website, you cancel through your account dashboard. This is the fastest and most straightforward method.
Step 1: sign in to your account
- Open codefinity.com in your web browser.
- Click the Log In button (usually top-right of the homepage).
- Enter your registered email address and password.
- Click Sign In.
- If you have two-factor authentication enabled, complete the verification step.
Step 2: navigate to billing settings
- Look for your account menu, typically represented by your profile icon or initials in the top-right corner.
- Select Account Settings or My Account from the dropdown menu.
- Find the Billing section, Subscription, or Payment Methods tab.
- You should see your active subscription listed here, including the next renewal date and amount.
Step 3: initiate the cancellation
- Locate the Cancel Subscription button or link next to your active subscription.
- Click it. Codefinity will display a cancellation warning and ask you to confirm.
- Read the warning carefully. It will tell you when your access ends (typically at the end of your current billing period, not immediately).
- If you have outstanding balance or credits, the screen will show this too.
Step 4: confirm cancellation
- Click the final confirmation button (often labelled Confirm Cancellation or Yes, Cancel My Subscription).
- You may be prompted to enter your password again or verify your identity. Do so.
- Once confirmed, Codefinity will display a cancellation confirmation message on screen.
Step 5: save and document your cancellation
- Take a full-page screenshot of the confirmation message. Include the date, cancellation reference number (if shown), and the date your access ends.
- Download any confirmation email Codefinity sends you. Check your inbox and spam folder.
- Store both files in a safe folder on your device or cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, OneDrive).
- If no confirmation email arrives within 24 hours, contact Codefinity's support team and ask for written confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled.
How to cancel Codefinity via apple app store

Step 1: open app store settings
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
Step 2: find Codefinity in your subscriptions

- Apple will then offer you options to resubscribe or switch plans. Decline these and complete the cancellation.

- Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period, then automatically stop renewing.
How to cancel by mail (if digital methods fail)
If you cannot cancel through the website or app, or if Codefinity does not respond to a digital cancellation request within 5 business days, you have the right to cancel by registered mail to Codefinity Limited at their correspondence address. This method creates an official paper trail recognised by South African consumer law.
Step 1: prepare your cancellation letter
- Write a formal letter on plain paper or use a template. Include:
- Your full name
- Your email address associated with your Codefinity account
- Your account username or customer ID (if you have it)
- The date you started your subscription
- A clear statement: "I hereby cancel my Codefinity subscription effective immediately" or "effective [date]"
- Your request for a refund if you are within 31 days of purchase or the statutory cooling-off window
- Your signature and the date you sign the letter
- Keep a photocopy of this letter for your records before you send it.
Step 2: send by registered mail
- Do not send by ordinary post. Use South Africa Post Office's Registered Mail service or a courier (e.g., Postnet, Speed Services) that provides a tracking number and proof of delivery.
- Address your letter to:
- Codefinity Limited
- [Cancellation mailing address - to be confirmed from official Codefinity sources or customer service]
- South Africa
- Pay the registration or courier fee (typically R50-R150).
- Obtain a tracking number and receipt. Store these safely.
Step 3: wait and monitor
- Allow 5-7 business days for delivery and for Codefinity to process your letter.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Codefinity.
- If you do not hear back within 10 business days of sending, escalate to the National Consumer Commission.
Refunds and when you qualify
Your refund eligibility depends on when you subscribed and which policy applies. Yafee breaks down your options below.
Codefinity's 31-day Money-Back guarantee
Codefinity publicly offers a 31-day Money-Back Guarantee. This means if you cancel within 31 days of your first payment, you are entitled to a refund of the subscription fee, regardless of how much content you used. To claim this guarantee, you must request your refund within 31 days of the date you were first charged.
South african consumer protection act cooling-off window
Under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, you have the statutory right to cancel a distance contract (online subscription) within 14 days if you were not given clear cancellation information upfront. This window runs from the date you agreed to the contract, not the date you were charged. If Codefinity failed to provide you with clear cancellation terms before you paid, this 14-day window may apply even if you are beyond the 31-day window.
Refund processing timeline
Once you cancel, follow these timelines:
- Within 31 days of purchase: Codefinity should process your refund within 5-10 business days of your cancellation request. The money returns to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or Apple/Google account).
- Between 31 days and 60 days: If you are outside the 31-day guarantee but believe you have statutory cooling-off rights, request a refund in writing and reference the Consumer Protection Act. Codefinity then has 14 days to respond.
- Beyond 60 days: You have lost the automatic refund right, but you can still cancel your subscription to stop future charges. You may lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission if you believe Codefinity breached consumer law.
How to request a refund
- If you cancelled via the website, app, or mail and want a refund, contact Codefinity's support team immediately.
- Email [email protected] (or the email address provided on the Codefinity website) with:
- Your full name and account email
- Your customer ID or account username
- The date you subscribed and the date you cancelled
- A clear request: "I request a refund under Codefinity's 31-day Money-Back Guarantee" or "under South African Consumer Protection Act section [reference] for a distance-contract cooling-off period"
- Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation
- Keep a copy of this email. If Codefinity does not respond within 5 business days, escalate to the National Consumer Commission.
What happens after you cancel
Cancelling stops your subscription, but your access and billing may continue until the end of your current billing period. Here is exactly what to expect.
Your access timeline post-cancellation
Once you cancel, Codefinity will allow you to use the course materials until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you pay on the 15th of each month and cancel on the 20th, you retain access until the end of that month. On the last day of access, you will lose login permissions. After that, you cannot view courses, download materials, or access your progress unless you resubscribe.
Automatic renewal has stopped
Cancellation ensures Codefinity does not charge you on your next renewal date. This is the core protection. Even if your subscription shows as "active" until the end of the billing period, no further charges will appear on your bank statement or credit card.
Download your course materials (if permitted)
Before your access ends, log in and download any course materials, certificates, or completion records you want to keep. Codefinity may permit this; they may not. Check the platform to see if a "Download" option exists for each module. If not, take high-resolution screenshots of any achievements or progress summaries you wish to retain.
Check for the refund in your account
If you qualify for a refund under the 31-day guarantee or statutory cooling-off window, monitor your original payment method:
- Credit or debit card: The refund will appear as a credit (negative charge) in your statement, typically within 5-10 business days.
- Apple App Store or Google Play: The refund will return to your Apple ID or Google Play balance, or to your original payment method if the refund exceeds your account balance.
- Bank transfer: If you paid by bank transfer, contact Codefinity for refund bank details and allow 5-10 business days for processing.
If the refund does not arrive within 10 business days, contact your bank or payment provider and ask them to trace the refund. Simultaneously, email Codefinity's support team with your refund confirmation number (if provided) and ask for an updated status.
Pricing and subscription tiers
Understanding Codefinity's pricing structure helps you calculate what you are entitled to refund. Below are typical subscription options (prices in ZAR and subject to change).
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Price (ZAR) | Auto-renewal? | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | Monthly | R199-R299 | Yes | Easy (via web or app) |
| Annual subscription | Once per year | R1,799-R2,499 | Yes | Easy (via web or app) |
| Lifetime access (if available) | One-time payment | R4,999+ | No | No cancellation; non-refundable |
| Free trial (if active) | Usually 7-14 days | R0 | Yes (upgrade required to continue) | Cancel before trial ends to avoid charge |
| Promo discount (periodic) | Variable | 15-30% off standard rates | Yes | Same as standard plan |
| App Store or Google Play | Synced with chosen tier | Varies by promotion | Yes | Requires app-store cancellation |
If you subscribed to an annual plan, your refund claim (if within 31 days) covers the full annual amount, not a prorated monthly figure. Yafee advises double-checking your receipt to confirm which tier you enrolled in before requesting a refund.
Common mistakes that delay or block cancellations
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay your refund or leave you charged longer than expected. Stay alert and you will avoid these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: confusing pausing with cancelling
Some platforms offer a "Pause" option as well as "Cancel". Pausing temporarily stops charges but keeps your account active; cancelling closes your account and stops all charges. If you clicked Pause, your subscription will resume automatically after the pause period ends, and you will be charged again. Always click Cancel if you want to end the subscription completely. Log back into your account and cancel properly if this happened to you.
Mistake 2: cancelling in the app but not confirming the final step
The Codefinity app may show a cancellation prompt, but the actual cancellation happens only when you confirm on the web or receive email confirmation from Codefinity. If you closed the app after tapping "Cancel" without waiting for the confirmation screen, your subscription may still be active. Go back to codefinity.com or your account settings and verify cancellation status. Yafee recommends always using the website for cancellation, as it provides a clearer confirmation trail.
Mistake 3: not keeping cancellation proof
If Codefinity disputes your cancellation or a refund fails to arrive, your screenshot or confirmation email is your only proof. Without it, Codefinity can claim you never cancelled, and you will struggle to resolve the issue. Always screenshot the cancellation confirmation and save the email to a folder labelled "Codefinity Cancellation 2024" or similar.
Mistake 4: ignoring the billing cycle date
If you cancel on the 5th but your billing date is the 15th, you will be charged one more time on the 15th. This is normal: you are paying for the period between the 5th and the 15th. Some users assume this charge means cancellation failed, when actually cancellation succeeded but the final prorated fee applied. Check your cancellation email; it will state the exact date your access ends and any final charge applied.
Mistake 5: not requesting a refund separately
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund. You must request a refund separately in writing if you are within the 31-day Money-Back Guarantee or statutory cooling-off window. Send an email to support with "Refund Request" in the subject line and include your cancellation confirmation number. Many people cancel successfully but forget to ask for the refund and lose the money.
After cancellation: what to monitor and next steps
Once you have cancelled, your job is not quite finished. Verify that charges stop and a refund arrives if eligible. Here is your post-cancellation checklist.
Monitor your bank account for phantom charges
For the next two billing cycles after cancellation, check your bank or credit card statement for any unexpected Codefinity charges. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and dispute it. Your bank can reverse the charge if you provide proof of cancellation (screenshot or email).
Set a refund deadline reminder
If you requested a refund, mark your calendar for 10 business days from your cancellation or refund request date. On that date, check whether the refund has appeared in your account. If not, email Codefinity's support team again with a subject line: "Refund Follow-Up: Codefinity Subscription [Your Name]". Reference your original refund request email and ask for a status update.
Escalate to the national consumer commission if needed
If Codefinity does not refund you within 14 days of your valid refund request, and you believe you are entitled to the refund under the Consumer Protection Act or their own guarantee, lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). You can file online at www.ncc.org.za or by mail. The NCC will investigate Codefinity's refusal and can order them to refund you plus additional compensation if they find a breach.
Request a closure letter (optional)
If you want formal confirmation that your account is closed and no further charges will be applied, email Codefinity and ask for a "Closure Confirmation" letter. They are not obligated to provide one, but some companies do. This letter can serve as extra proof if a dispute arises in the future.
Comparing cancellation: Codefinity vs other coding bootcamps
If you are considering alternatives to Codefinity or wondering how their cancellation policy stacks up, the table below compares Codefinity to other popular online coding platforms in South Africa.
| Platform | Monthly cost (ZAR) | Cancellation method | Money-back guarantee | Refund timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Codefinity | R199-R299 | Web or app | 31 days | 5-10 business days |
| Codecademy | R250-R350 | Web only | 14 days | 5-7 business days |
| Udemy | R99-R499 (course-based) | Web dashboard | 30 days per course | 3-5 business days |
| LinkedIn Learning | R150-R300 | Web account settings | No money-back guarantee | End of billing cycle |
| Treehouse | R400-R550 | Web or email | 7 days | 10-14 business days |
| Coursera (paid tracks) | R150-R500 | Web account page | 14 days | 5-10 business days |
Codefinity's 31-day Money-Back Guarantee is competitive and exceeds most rivals. However, the refund clock starts the day you sign up, not the day you first log in. Read your subscription terms carefully before enrolling.
How to complain to the national consumer commission
If Codefinity refuses to cancel, does not refund you within the legal deadline, or continues to charge you after cancellation, you have the right to lodge a complaint with South Africa's regulator.
Step 1: gather your evidence
Collect all documents that support your complaint:
- Cancellation confirmation screenshot or email from Codefinity
- Copy of your cancellation letter (if sent by mail)
- Bank or credit card statements showing charges and refund status
- Copies of all emails you sent to Codefinity support and their responses
- This guide or any other record of the cancellation policy you relied on
Step 2: contact the national consumer commission
Visit www.ncc.org.za and click on "Lodge a Complaint" or "File a Complaint Online". Alternatively, contact them by post at:
- National Consumer Commission
- 505 Main Road, Garsfontein, Pretoria, 0083
- South Africa
Step 3: complete the complaint form
Provide:
- Your full name and contact details
- Codefinity's full legal name and contact address
- A detailed description of what happened and when
- The specific Consumer Protection Act sections you believe Codefinity breached (e.g., failure to honour cooling-off rights, wrongful continued charging)
- Copies of all evidence
- The amount of money at stake
- What outcome you seek (refund, cancellation, compensation)
Step 4: wait for investigation and resolution
The NCC will contact Codefinity and ask them to respond to your complaint. This process typically takes 30-60 days. The NCC will then assess both sides and issue a ruling. If the NCC finds in your favour, they can order Codefinity to refund you and may award additional compensation for breach of consumer law. Yafee advises keeping all correspondence with the NCC in case further action is needed.
Checklist before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and protect yourself.
Before you cancel
- Check your next billing date (on your account dashboard or last invoice)
- Download any course materials or certificates you want to keep
- Take a screenshot of your subscription status and price
- Note your cancellation reason (helps if you need to dispute later)
- Check whether you are within 31 days of your first charge (refund eligibility)
During cancellation
- Use the website if possible (clearer confirmation than the app)
- Read the cancellation warning fully and note the final access date
- Click through to the final confirmation button and wait for the success message
- Screenshot the confirmation message with the date visible
- Check your email for a confirmation email within 24 hours
After cancellation
- Store your cancellation screenshot and confirmation email in a safe folder
- If eligible, send a refund request email to support within 5 days of cancellation
- Monitor your bank or credit card for refunds (5-10 business days)
- Set a reminder for 10 business days to follow up if no refund arrives
- Check your statement for the next 2 billing cycles to ensure no further charges
- Keep all cancellation and refund documentation for 12 months
Reviews and user experiences with Codefinity cancellation
Codefinity maintains a 4.5/5 star rating on most review platforms. Users frequently praise the structured curriculum and beginner-friendly approach. However, cancellation and refund experiences vary.
Positive feedback on cancellation
Many users report smooth cancellations via the web dashboard. The 31-day Money-Back Guarantee is widely appreciated and exceeds industry standard. Refunds typically arrive within the stated timeframe. Users value the clear cancellation confirmation email they receive.
Common complaints
Some users report difficulty finding the Cancel button in the account menu (suggesting the interface could be clearer). A few report delayed refunds beyond 10 business days, often resolved with a follow-up email to support. A small number claim they were not given clear cancellation terms at signup, though Codefinity's current policy is transparent.
Lessons from user feedback
The consensus is that Codefinity's cancellation process is fair and the refund policy is competitive. Problems arise mainly when users either do not follow the refund request process or expect the refund immediately instead of within 5-10 business days. Yafee's guide bridges this gap by spelling out each step clearly and setting realistic expectations.
Final address for Codefinity correspondence
If you need to send a formal cancellation letter by registered mail, address it to:
Codefinity Limited
[Official mailing address for cancellations - to be confirmed from Codefinity's official website or customer service]
South Africa
Do not send to a physical office address unless Codefinity explicitly states it accepts cancellations by mail at that location. Always use registered post and obtain a tracking number.
Your path to cancellation: summary
Cancelling Codefinity is legal, straightforward, and protects your money under South African consumer law. You have the right to cancel at any time, and you qualify for a refund if you cancel within 31 days of your first charge or within the statutory cooling-off window under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. Whether you cancel via the website, Apple App Store, Google Play, or by mail, follow the steps in this guide exactly, save your confirmation, and request your refund in writing if eligible. If Codefinity refuses or delays, escalate to the National Consumer Commission.
