How to cancel Dreamface and reclaim your credits in south africa
What is Dreamface and why cancellation matters
Dreamface is an AI-powered platform that enables you to generate videos and visual content using artificial intelligence technology. The service operates on a subscription model with tiered plans, one-time credit purchases, and recurring billing cycles. If you no longer use the platform, have found an alternative tool, or wish to pause your account, cancelling promptly protects you from unwanted charges and ensures you retain control over your digital subscriptions.
New Port LLC, a U.S.-registered company based in California, operates Dreamface. The company maintains no South African physical office or dedicated local support team, meaning all cancellation requests and billing inquiries route through their U.S. contact channels. Understanding your legal rights under South African consumer law, combined with knowing the correct cancellation method for your subscription type, positions you to exit the service cleanly and without dispute.
Yafee specialises in guiding consumers through subscription cancellations across jurisdictions, and this guide applies South African consumer law directly to your Dreamface account.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (CPA) establishes enforceable rights when you cancel digital services like Dreamface, even when the company operates overseas.
Right to cancel within a cooling-off period
The CPA grants you the right to cancel certain distance contracts-including online subscriptions and digital services-within a reasonable timeframe from the date of purchase or when you should have received the service. For most digital offerings, this cooling-off period spans 14 days from your initial transaction.
Dreamface's published policy permits refunds within 2 days of purchase. This shorter window may not fully satisfy CPA requirements, especially if the service failed to deliver, malfunctioned, or you were not given clear notice of cancellation terms before you agreed to the subscription. If Dreamface refuses a legitimate cooling-off claim based on South African law, escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC), South Africa's official consumer protection authority.
Explicit consent for auto-renewal charges
Before Dreamface charges you for any renewal or recurring billing cycle, the CPA requires that the company obtain your explicit, informed consent. This means Dreamface must have displayed the full subscription price, renewal frequency, and cancellation method clearly before your first charge processed. If you cannot locate this information in your confirmation email or in-app screens, you have grounds to dispute charges with the NCC or your bank.
Screenshot your subscription confirmation email and save any in-app terms pages you viewed. This evidence is essential if you need to file a formal complaint or dispute a charge.
Right to refund for defective or undelivered service
If Dreamface fails to deliver the service you purchased-for instance, the app crashes repeatedly, video generation fails consistently, or you cannot access paid features-you retain the right to a refund even beyond the 2-day window. Document every technical issue, including dates, error messages, and any support tickets you submit. This record strengthens your position if you escalate to the NCC or initiate a chargeback through your bank.
Your legal position: You are protected by South African law regardless of Dreamface's U.S. location. The CPA applies to all goods and services supplied to South African consumers. If the company refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request, the NCC has the power to investigate, mediate, and enforce remedies on your behalf at no cost to you.
Cancellation methods for Dreamface
The cancellation process for Dreamface depends on how you subscribed: through Apple's App Store, Google Play, or directly via Dreamface's website or app.
Cancel a subscription purchased through the apple app store
If you subscribed to Dreamface using your iPhone or iPad, Apple's ecosystem manages billing and cancellation, not Dreamface directly. You must cancel through Apple's settings to stop recurring charges.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID name at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Locate and tap Dreamface in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- Alternatively, cancel using the App Store app on your device.
- Open the App Store application.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find Dreamface and tap it.
- Choose Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice.
- Verify cancellation via Apple's confirmation email.
- Check your email inbox and spam folder within 10 minutes of cancelling.

- Save this email as proof of cancellation.
- Your access to Dreamface continues until the end of your current billing cycle.
Cancel a subscription purchased through google play
If you subscribed on an Android device via Google Play, Google handles your billing and subscription management. Cancel through the Google Play app to prevent future charges.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.

- This email confirms the cancellation date and your final access period.
- Keep this email for your records as evidence of cancellation.
Cancel a subscription purchased directly from Dreamface
If you subscribed through Dreamface's website or in-app payment system (not through Apple or Google), you must contact Dreamface directly to cancel. The company processes these cancellations via email.
- Compose an email to the Dreamface cancellation address.
- Send your request to [email protected].
- Use the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request."
- Include your full name, email address linked to your Dreamface account, and account username.
- State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Dreamface subscription effective today."
- Do not include payment details or sensitive information in the email body.
- Send the email and monitor for a response.
- Allow 5 to 7 business days for Dreamface to acknowledge your request.
- Check both your inbox and spam folder for their reply.
- Note the date and time you sent your email.
- Follow up if you do not receive confirmation within 7 days.
- Send a follow-up email referencing your original request and the date you sent it.
- Reiterate your cancellation request and ask for written confirmation.
- If Dreamface still does not respond within 14 days, escalate to the National Consumer Commission (details below).
What happens after you cancel
Once you submit a cancellation request, several outcomes follow depending on your subscription type and where you purchased it.
Continued access during your final billing cycle
When you cancel, your access to Dreamface continues until the end of your current billing period. If you cancelled on day 10 of a 30-day cycle, you retain full access for another 20 days. Use this time to download any projects, export videos, or back up content you created during your subscription.
Automatic access termination
On the date your final billing cycle ends, Dreamface automatically deactivates your account. You lose access to premium features, stored projects, and generation credits. Free-tier content may remain accessible depending on Dreamface's policy, but paid features disappear immediately.
Preventing accidental resubscription
Do not attempt to reuse your old payment method with Dreamface for 90 days after cancellation. If you later decide to rejoin, create a fresh account with a different payment card to avoid automatic linking to your former subscription.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions yearly, and Yafee has identified patterns in what goes wrong. Learning from these errors saves you time, money, and frustration.
Confusing app deletion with account cancellation
Removing the Dreamface app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app and your account are separate: deleting the app only removes the software from your device, while your subscription remains active and billing continues. You must formally cancel through Apple, Google, or Dreamface's email address before deleting the app.
Forgetting to save cancellation proof
Do not rely on memory to prove you cancelled. Apple and Google send automatic confirmation emails; Dreamface typically does as well. If you delete these emails immediately, you lose evidence if a dispute arises. Save every confirmation email in a dedicated folder for at least 12 months after cancellation.
Ignoring final billing statements
After you cancel, review your next bank or credit card statement to confirm that Dreamface has stopped charging you. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder for 5 days after your expected final billing date.
Attempting to cancel through customer support chat
Dreamface's in-app chat or help portal may not formally process cancellations. Always send a written cancellation request via email to [email protected]. Written communication creates a documented record that protects you if the company disputes whether you cancelled.
Escalation and dispute resolution
If Dreamface refuses to cancel your subscription, ignores your request, or continues charging after cancellation, South African law provides a formal complaint mechanism.
Filing a complaint with the national consumer commission
The NCC is South Africa's independent statutory authority responsible for enforcing consumer rights under the CPA. You can lodge a complaint online, by telephone, or by post at no charge.
- Gather all evidence before filing.
- Collect your cancellation request email and the date you sent it.
- Save Dreamface's response email, if they replied.
- Include bank or credit card statements showing unwanted charges.
- Screenshot your subscription confirmation page and terms of service.
- Complete the NCC complaint form online at www.ncc.org.za.
- Provide your details, Dreamface's details, and a chronological account of events.
- Attach scans or photos of all supporting documents.
- Explain which consumer rights you believe Dreamface violated (cooling-off period, auto-renewal consent, defective service).
- Submit and await NCC contact.
- The NCC acknowledges receipt within 2 working days and assigns a case number.
- An investigator contacts you and Dreamface within 14 days to attempt mediation.
- If mediation fails, the NCC can issue a binding enforcement order compelling Dreamface to refund you or cancel your subscription.
Disputing charges with your bank
If Dreamface continues to charge your account after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer to dispute the transaction. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation and state that you authorised the original subscription but not the disputed charge. Banks can reverse charges within a defined window (typically 90 to 120 days) and issue a refund directly to your account.

Should you cancel Dreamface
Before you submit a cancellation request, consider whether cancelling truly serves your interests or whether pausing, downgrading, or waiting might be preferable.
Reasons to cancel immediately
Cancel Dreamface if you no longer use the platform and recurring charges strain your budget. If you have completed your video projects, switched to a competitor tool, or find the pricing unsustainable, cancellation frees up your monthly spending and removes the temptation to accumulate unused credits. Cancel also if the service malfunctions repeatedly or you cannot access the features you paid for, as South African law entitles you to a refund under these circumstances.
Reasons to pause rather than cancel
If you foresee returning to Dreamface in the future-for example, you have a seasonal video project coming up-consider whether downgrading to the free tier or requesting a temporary suspension makes more sense than full cancellation. Some services allow account freezing without deletion. Contact Dreamface to ask if they offer a pause option; this preserves your account history and credits if you return within a specified window.
Reasons to keep your subscription
Retain your Dreamface subscription if you actively generate videos, create content regularly, or rely on the tool for business use. The monthly cost is modest compared to alternative AI video generators, and the per-credit pricing is competitive if you consume your allocation fully.
Checklist for successful Dreamface cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and protect yourself legally.

Yafee emphasises that although Dreamface operates in the United States, South African consumer law applies to your transaction because you are a South African consumer.
