Frequently asked questions
Cancel Notta: The Right Way for South African Users
How to cancel Notta: step-by-step guide for south african users
What is Notta and how does it work
Notta is a subscription-based artificial intelligence transcription and note-taking service that converts your audio and video into searchable text in real time. You use it for meetings, interviews, lectures and content capture across web and mobile applications. The service operates on a monthly or annual subscription model, so you must actively cancel to stop being charged by your billing provider.
The critical thing to understand is that your purchase channel determines your cancellation route. You may have bought access through the Notta website directly, the Apple App Store, or Google Play. Each purchase channel maintains separate billing records, and cancelling in the wrong location will not stop your recurring charges. Yafee has helped thousands of South African users avoid this trap by identifying their exact subscription source before attempting cancellation.
Where your Notta subscription comes from
Notta subscriptions are sold through three main channels: the official Notta web application, Apple's App Store, and Google Play Store. Your billing source determines your cancellation route entirely. If you bought your subscription on the Notta website, you must cancel on that same website. If you subscribed through Apple, you cancel through Apple's account settings. The same principle applies to Google Play. Deleting the app or your Notta account will not stop the recurring charges from your original purchase source.
Why you might want to cancel
You might cancel Notta because you no longer need transcription services, the subscription cost no longer justifies your usage, or you have found a better alternative. Your work circumstances may have changed, or you are simply tightening your household budget. Whatever your reason, cancellation should be straightforward and transparent. Yafee advocates for clarity at every step of the cancellation process.
Your consumer rights in south africa
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (CPA), administered by the National Consumer Commission (NCC), gives you specific legal rights when cancelling subscription services.
What the consumer protection act says about cancellation
Under the CPA, Section 14 protects you against unfair contract terms, hidden charges, and misleading cancellation processes. The Act requires that subscription agreements must clearly disclose the cancellation method before you purchase. If Notta makes cancellation deliberately difficult or obscures the process, this breaches consumer protection law. The CPA also states that the cancellation process must be as easy as the subscription process itself.
Furthermore, automatic renewal agreements must include explicit cancellation instructions at the point of sale. If Notta's terms were not transparent when you purchased, you have grounds to dispute charges and escalate to the National Consumer Commission. Yafee recommends keeping your original purchase receipt and any confirmation emails, as these form your evidence in a dispute.
Your legal position
Under the CPA, you have the right to cancel without penalty, provided you give written notice as required by the service terms. If Notta refuses to cancel or continues charging after you have cancelled, you may file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission. The NCC can investigate unfair practices and compel refunds. You are also entitled to a refund if the service was misrepresented or failed to perform as described. Document all communication with Notta, as this strengthens your position if escalation becomes necessary.
Refund rights and what they cover
The CPA allows you to demand a refund if goods or services are not delivered as promised, or if the service quality is substantially worse than advertised. Notta's general policy states subscriptions are non-refundable, but this does not override the CPA's consumer protections. If you can prove the service was misrepresented or did not work as described, you have a legal claim for refund.
Importantly, Notta's Terms of Service include a specific exception: if either party terminates the subscription, prepaid fees for the remainder of the subscription term must be refunded. This means if you paid for three months upfront and cancel after one month, you may be entitled to recover the unused two months. Contact Notta support directly with your cancellation request and reference this clause by name. Yafee advises including the exact wording in your cancellation email so there is no ambiguity.
How to cancel Notta on the web
If you subscribed to Notta through their official website, you must cancel through the same website to stop billing.
Step 1: log in to your Notta account
Navigate to the Notta website and log in using your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page to reset it. You must access your account directly; third-party apps or forwarding services will not work for cancellation.
Step 2: access your account settings
Once logged in, locate your account menu. This is typically found in the top-right corner of the interface, marked by your profile photo or initials. Click on this menu and select "Account settings," "Settings," or "Subscription" depending on Notta's current interface design. Your billing and subscription details appear on this page.
Step 3: find your subscription details and cancellation option
Within your account settings, locate the "Subscription," "Billing," or "Plan" section. This section displays your current subscription level, renewal date, and payment method. Look for a button or link labeled "Cancel subscription," "Downgrade," or "Manage subscription." Click this option to initiate the cancellation process.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation and note the reference number
Notta will present a cancellation confirmation screen. Read this carefully to confirm the effective date of cancellation. Notta will typically provide a reference number or confirmation email. Save this number immediately and screenshot the confirmation screen. This reference is your proof of cancellation and essential if a dispute arises.
Step 5: verify cancellation in your confirmation email
Within 24 hours, you will receive a confirmation email from Notta. This email must state the cancellation effective date and your final billing date. If you do not receive this email, log back into your account and verify that the subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "No active subscription." If your account still shows an active subscription, your cancellation did not process successfully.
How to cancel Notta on apple app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's account system, not through the Notta app itself.
Step 1: open apple settings on your device
On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, open the Settings app. Navigate to your name at the top of the Settings menu. In iOS, this appears at the very top. On Mac, this is typically in "System Settings."
Step 2: access your apple ID and subscription settings
Tap or click "Media & Purchases," then select "Subscriptions." This displays all active subscriptions purchased through your Apple ID. Locate Notta in this list.
Step 3: select Notta and initiate cancellation
Tap or click on Notta. The subscription details page will appear, showing your renewal date and billing history. Tap or click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel free trial" if applicable. Apple will present a confirmation screen explaining what happens after cancellation.
Step 4: confirm and save your apple cancellation confirmation
Confirm your cancellation choice. Apple will display a confirmation message. Take a screenshot of this confirmation, as it serves as your proof of cancellation. Apple will also send you a confirmation email within 24 hours.
Step 5: verify cancellation status
Return to the Subscriptions page and confirm that Notta no longer appears in your active subscriptions list. If it still appears as active, repeat the cancellation steps. If the problem persists, contact Apple Support directly through the App Store, as the issue may lie with Apple's billing system rather than Notta.
How to cancel Notta on google play
If you subscribed through Google Play, you must cancel through Google's account system to stop billing.
Step 1: open google play on your android device
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
Step 2: access your subscriptions
From the profile menu, select "Payments and subscriptions," then tap "Subscriptions." This displays all active subscriptions linked to your Google account. Locate Notta in this list.
Step 3: select Notta and cancel
Tap on Notta to view your subscription details, including your renewal date and billing history. Tap "Cancel subscription." Google will present options to provide feedback on why you are cancelling. You may optionally provide feedback, but this is not required to complete cancellation.
Step 4: confirm cancellation and save your reference
Confirm your cancellation choice. Google will display a confirmation message stating your cancellation effective date. Screenshot this confirmation immediately. Google will also send a confirmation email to your registered Google account email address within 24 hours.
Step 5: verify cancellation and monitor your billing
Return to your Subscriptions page and confirm that Notta no longer appears as active. Your billing should cease on your next scheduled renewal date. If you are charged after this date, contact Google Support immediately with your cancellation confirmation reference number.
What happens after you cancel Notta
Cancellation takes effect on your next scheduled renewal date, not immediately. Your access remains active until that date arrives.
Your account access after cancellation
After cancellation, you retain access to your Notta account and your transcription history until your subscription renewal date. On the renewal date, your access will be downgraded to free tier features if Notta offers a free plan, or access will terminate entirely if you do not have a free tier account. Yafee advises downloading or exporting your transcriptions before this date if you need to preserve your data.
Data retention and export
Before your cancellation date takes effect, export your transcriptions and notes from Notta if you wish to keep them. Log into your Notta account, locate your transcription library, and download files in your preferred format (typically PDF or text). Once your account access terminates, you may lose access to these files depending on Notta's data retention policy. Do not rely on recovery after the cancellation date.
Checking your final invoice
Your final invoice will be issued on your last billing date. This invoice should show your cancellation effective date and confirm that no future charges are scheduled. Review this invoice carefully to ensure it matches your cancellation date. If your final invoice is incorrect or contains unexpected charges, contact Notta support within 30 days with your cancellation confirmation reference number.
Common mistakes when cancelling Notta
Most cancellation problems stem from simple procedural errors, not from Notta's deliberate obstruction. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable if you follow the correct steps for your purchase channel.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place
The most common error is cancelling through the wrong platform. If you subscribed on the web but cancel through Apple, your web subscription remains active and will continue to be billed. You must match your cancellation method to your purchase method exactly. Yafee recommends checking your original purchase confirmation email to identify which platform you used. This email header will show whether the payment came from Notta.com, Apple, or Google Play.
Mistake 2: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Uninstalling the Notta app does not cancel your subscription. Your subscription exists in your billing account, not in the app itself. Deleting the app merely removes your access to the service while your charges continue. You must follow the cancellation steps specific to your purchase platform.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If you do not screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation, you have no proof if Notta continues to charge you. Screenshot every confirmation screen and save confirmation emails in a dedicated folder. This documentation protects you if you need to escalate to your bank or the National Consumer Commission.
Mistake 4: assuming cancellation is immediate
Cancellation takes effect on your next renewal date, not on the day you cancel. If you cancel on the 10th and your renewal date is the 25th, you will be charged one more time on the 25th. This is standard practice and is legal under the CPA. Plan your cancellation accordingly if you wish to avoid a final charge.
Mistake 5: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Always verify that Notta stops charging you within 30 days of your cancellation confirmation date. Check your bank statement or credit card bill to confirm no further charges appear. If you are charged after the cancellation effective date, your bank can reverse the charge as unauthorised billing.
Refund process after cancellation
Notta's standard policy states that subscriptions are non-refundable, but the CPA overrides this in specific circumstances.
When you may claim a refund
You have the right to a refund if you paid for multiple months upfront and cancel before using all prepaid months. Notta's Terms of Service state that prepaid fees for the unused subscription term must be refunded upon cancellation. You also have the right to a refund if the service failed to work as described or was misrepresented at the point of sale. These refund rights exist regardless of Notta's stated non-refund policy, as the CPA takes precedence.
How to request a refund
Send a written refund request to Notta support with the following information: your account email, your subscription start and end dates, the number of unused months prepaid, your cancellation confirmation reference number, and the reason for your refund request. Reference Section 14 of the Consumer Protection Act and Notta's own Terms of Service clause on prepaid refunds. Send this via email and request a read receipt. Yafee advises keeping a copy of this email in your records.
Timeline for refund processing
Notta typically processes refunds within 5 to 10 business days. The refund will be issued to your original payment method. If you do not receive the refund within 15 business days, contact your bank to initiate a chargeback claim. Your bank can reverse the charges as unauthorised if Notta fails to process a valid refund.
Pricing and subscription options comparison
Understanding Notta's pricing structure helps you determine whether cancellation is the best option or whether downgrading to a lower tier is more cost-effective.
| Plan level | Monthly cost (ZAR) | Annual cost (ZAR) | Recording minutes per month | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Free | Free | 120 minutes | Casual users or trial |
| Professional | R89 | R859 | 3,600 minutes | Individual professionals |
| Team | R349 | R3,399 | Unlimited | Small teams or departments |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Large organisations |
If you are currently on the Team plan but only need Professional features, contact Notta support to request a downgrade rather than cancellation. Downgrades take effect immediately or on your next billing cycle, depending on Notta's policy. This may be more cost-effective than cancelling entirely and losing your transcription history.
Contacting Notta support for cancellation assistance
If you encounter problems cancelling Notta or if your cancellation does not process correctly, contact Notta support with your account details and cancellation reference number.
Notta's official contact address
You may send written cancellation notices or cancellation disputes to:
NOTTA PTE. LTD.
Registered office: Singapore
Email: [email protected]
Additionally, Notta operates a Japanese headquarters in Tokyo. If you do not receive a response from the Singapore office within 10 business days, you may escalate your case to the National Consumer Commission in South Africa. Include your original cancellation confirmation, all email correspondence with Notta, and your bank statements showing continued charges if applicable.
Escalation to the national consumer commission
If Notta refuses to cancel your subscription or continues to charge you after cancellation, file a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC is the statutory body responsible for enforcing the Consumer Protection Act in South Africa. You may lodge a complaint online at the NCC website or by post. Include copies of your cancellation confirmation, all correspondence with Notta, and evidence of unauthorised charges. The NCC investigates complaints and can compel Notta to refund charges and cease billing practices that breach the CPA.
Mistakes to avoid before cancelling
Planning your cancellation carefully prevents frustration and ensures you retain access to your data until the moment you truly need to exit.
| Mistake | Why it matters | How to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| Cancelling without exporting transcripts | You lose access to your recorded transcriptions | Export all files before cancelling |
| Cancelling without checking your purchase platform | You cancel in the wrong location, and billing continues | Check your purchase confirmation email first |
| Not saving cancellation confirmation | You have no proof if disputes arise | Screenshot and email confirmation to yourself |
| Assuming immediate cancellation | You expect no more charges but are billed once more | Cancel before your renewal date if you prefer zero final charges |
| Ignoring the final invoice | Notta may incorrectly charge you after cancellation | Review your final invoice and compare to your cancellation date |
Your cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you complete every step of the cancellation process and protect your interests as a consumer.
- Identify your purchase platform (Notta website, Apple App Store, or Google Play)
- Export or download all transcriptions and notes from your Notta account
- Log into your account on the correct platform and access subscription settings
- Locate and click the cancellation button
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen immediately
- Note your cancellation reference number and effective date
- Save the cancellation confirmation email from Notta
- Wait for your final invoice to arrive
- Review your final invoice to confirm the cancellation date and absence of future charges

- If charged after the cancellation date, contact your bank to dispute the charge
- If Notta refuses to cancel, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission
Summary and next steps
Cancelling Notta requires you to navigate your specific purchase platform and follow that platform's cancellation process exactly. Web subscriptions cancel on the Notta website. Apple subscriptions cancel through Apple Settings. Google Play subscriptions cancel through the Google Play app. Yafee emphasizes that mismatching your cancellation method to your purchase method is the single most common error, and it prevents your cancellation from taking effect.
Your rights under South Africa's Consumer Protection Act protect you from unfair cancellation practices, hidden charges, and misleading contract terms. The National Consumer Commission enforces these rights and can compel Notta to refund charges if the company violates the CPA. Document every step of your cancellation process, save your confirmation references, and monitor your billing to ensure charges cease.
If you paid multiple months upfront, you may claim a refund for unused prepaid months under Notta's own Terms of Service. Request this refund in writing with your cancellation confirmation reference number. If Notta refuses to process the refund, escalate to the National Consumer Commission with your evidence.
