Frequently asked questions
Cancel CVMaker: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel CVMaker in south africa and protect your subscription rights
Why you might want to cancel CVMaker
CVMaker is an online CV builder that helps you create professional resumes using customizable templates and an intuitive editor. The service operates on a subscription model, offering everything from free trials to recurring monthly or annual plans.
During your active subscription, you gain access to unlimited CV edits, downloadable documents in multiple formats, cover letter templates, and job-matching features. If you've decided you no longer need these tools, or if the service doesn't meet your expectations, South African consumer law gives you clear rights to cancel without facing unreasonable penalties.
At Yafee, we help thousands of South Africans navigate subscription cancellations each month. Understanding your options with CVMaker means you can exit on your terms and avoid unexpected charges.
Common reasons south africans cancel CVMaker
You might cancel because you've secured the job you were preparing for, discovered a more affordable alternative, or found that the templates don't align with your career path. Others cancel immediately after the free trial because the monthly cost doesn't suit their budget, or because they prefer working directly with recruitment agencies.
Whatever your reason, cancelling promptly protects you from the next billing cycle.
Your subscription timeline matters
If you signed up for a trial, CVMaker typically charges your card within 7 days unless you cancel beforehand. If you're on a monthly plan, charges renew every 30 days. Yafee recommends checking your CVMaker billing date immediately so you know your cancellation deadline.
Your consumer rights in south africa under the consumer protection act
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) grants you strong protections when cancelling digital services like CVMaker, regardless of what the company's terms state.
The 14-day cooling-off period
If you purchased a CVMaker subscription as a consumer (not as a registered business), you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase. This means you can cancel and request a full refund within this window, even if you've actively used the service. CVMaker must honour this right under the CPA, regardless of whether they advertise a money-back guarantee.
Calculate your 14-day window immediately after purchasing. If you're within this period when you decide to cancel, your legal position strengthens considerably.
Your legal position
Section 16 of the Consumer Protection Act entitles you to cancel a distance contract (which includes online services) within 14 days without providing a reason and without incurring penalties. CVMaker cannot legally charge a cancellation fee or withhold funds during this period. If they do, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC).
What happens if CVMaker refuses your refund
If CVMaker declines your refund after 14 days, ignores your cancellation request, or continues charging you after cancellation, the National Consumer Commission (NCC) is your escalation route. You can lodge a formal complaint on the NCC website if CVMaker breaches the Consumer Protection Act.
Preserve all evidence: your purchase receipt, cancellation confirmation emails, payment transaction records, and account screenshots. Consumers who file complaints with comprehensive documentation typically see successful outcomes.
How to cancel CVMaker from your account
The simplest cancellation method is through your CVMaker account settings, a process that takes approximately 5 minutes and provides instant confirmation.

- Enter your password and click the login button.

Step 2: access your account settings
- Once logged in, look for your account menu in the top right corner of the screen.
- Click on your profile icon or the "Settings" option.
- Select "Account Settings" or "My Account" from the dropdown menu.
- You should now see your subscription and billing information displayed.
Step 3: locate your subscription or membership section
- Within Account Settings, find the "Subscription," "Membership," or "Billing" tab.
- This section displays your current plan, renewal date, and payment method.
- Check the renewal date carefully so you understand when your next charge will occur.
- Note this date before proceeding; it strengthens your cancellation record.
Step 4: initiate the cancellation

- CVMaker may ask you to confirm your cancellation or select a reason for leaving.
- Complete any required fields and confirm your choice.
Step 5: confirm cancellation and save your confirmation email

- Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation as well.

Cancellation via email or customer support

Understanding CVMaker's pricing and refund policy
CVMaker operates on multiple subscription tiers, each with different renewal dates and costs.
| Plan type | Cost per period | Billing cycle | Renewal date | Refund window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | R0 | 7 days | Day 7 (if not cancelled) | Not applicable |
| Monthly subscription | R99-R199 | 30 days | Every 30 days | 14 days from purchase |
| Annual subscription | R999-R1,999 | 365 days | Every 12 months | 14 days from purchase |
| Pay-as-you-go | Varies per document | One-time charge | No renewal | 14 days from purchase |
All refunds fall under the 14-day cooling-off period mandated by the Consumer Protection Act, regardless of CVMaker's stated policy. If you cancel within 14 days, you have a legal right to a full refund.
What happens after you cancel CVMaker
Cancelling CVMaker stops future charges, but understanding what occurs next protects your account and finances.
Immediate changes to your account
Once CVMaker processes your cancellation, your premium features become unavailable immediately. You lose access to unlimited CV edits, premium templates, and cover letter features. Any CVs you've created remain stored in your account if you log back in with your credentials, but you cannot make further edits unless you resubscribe.
Download your CVs before cancellation
Before finalising your cancellation, log into your CVMaker account and download all your CV documents to your computer. Export them as PDF or Word files so you retain copies even after your subscription ends. You can use these files with other tools or submit them directly to employers.
When will the refund arrive
If you're within the 14-day cooling-off period, CVMaker must process your refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund typically appears in your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank. If you paid by credit card, the refund may appear as a credit on your next statement rather than an immediate deposit.
Verify the refund on your statement
- Check your bank or credit card statement 5 to 7 business days after CVMaker processes the refund.
- Look for a transaction labelled "CVMaker Refund" or similar.
- If the refund doesn't appear within 10 business days, contact CVMaker support with your cancellation confirmation email.
- If CVMaker refuses to refund and you're within 14 days, escalate the complaint to the National Consumer Commission.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most cancellation difficulties stem from preventable errors, and Yafee has identified the mistakes that cause refund delays.
Not cancelling before your renewal date
The most costly mistake is allowing your subscription to renew before cancelling. Once the renewal processes, you enter a new billing cycle and lose the ability to cancel within the original 14-day window. Set a calendar reminder on your phone 3 days before your renewal date as a safety measure.
Failing to save cancellation confirmations
If CVMaker doesn't send a confirmation email, you have no proof of your cancellation request. Always request and retain a confirmation email or screenshot. If CVMaker fails to provide written confirmation, send a follow-up email restating your cancellation and requesting acknowledgment in writing.
Cancelling only through payment provider, not CVMaker directly
Some consumers ask their bank or credit card company to block CVMaker charges. This stops the transaction but doesn't formally cancel your account with CVMaker. You must cancel directly with CVMaker to ensure the subscription ends. Blocking payments can lead to account suspension or disputed charges.
Assuming silence means cancellation
If you email CVMaker a cancellation request and receive no reply, do not assume the subscription is cancelled. Follow up within 3 business days. If they don't respond, escalate to the National Consumer Commission and file a formal complaint, including your initial cancellation email and proof that you received no response.

If CVMaker continues to charge you after cancellation
Occasionally, CVMaker fails to process a cancellation or charges your card after you've formally cancelled. Yafee advises taking immediate action in these situations.
Contact CVMaker support with evidence
- Gather all relevant documents: your cancellation confirmation email, screenshot of the cancellation request, and your bank statement showing the unauthorised charge.
- Email CVMaker support with the subject "Unauthorised charge after cancellation request."
- Include copies of your evidence and request an explanation and immediate refund.
- Set a deadline: give CVMaker 7 days to respond and process a refund.
- Save this email as proof of your dispute.
Dispute the charge with your bank
- If CVMaker does not refund within 7 days, contact your bank or credit card company.
- Request a chargeback or dispute for "services cancelled but not refunded."
- Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation confirmation and the unauthorised charge.
- Your bank will investigate and typically refund the disputed amount within 30 days.
Escalate to the national consumer commission
- Visit the NCC website at www.ncc.org.za
- Click "Complaint" and complete the online complaint form.
- Describe your cancellation request, the date of your cancellation confirmation, and the unauthorised charges.
- Attach all supporting documents: emails, screenshots, bank statements, and chargeback correspondence.
- The NCC will contact CVMaker on your behalf and mediate a resolution.
- Keep copies of your NCC complaint number for your records.
