Frequently asked questions
Cancel Resume Giants: The Right Way
How to cancel Resume Giants and protect yourself from unwanted charges in south africa
What Resume Giants is and why you might want to cancel
Resume Giants is an online CV-building platform that combines artificial intelligence with professionally designed templates to help job seekers create compelling resumes and cover letters. The service operates as a subscription offering, accessible through their website and mobile applications on iOS and Android devices.
Most users begin with a 14-day free trial before the service converts to a paid recurring subscription. If you've decided Resume Giants no longer meets your needs or you want to stop charges before they begin, understanding your cancellation options is essential. At Yafee, we specialise in helping South African consumers navigate subscription cancellations with confidence, ensuring you retain full control over your finances and personal data.
Who uses Resume Giants and typical reasons for cancellation
Resume Giants attracts job seekers throughout South Africa, from first-time employment applicants to professionals changing careers who want professional-quality CVs without hiring a professional resume writer. The platform appeals to those seeking speed and template-based convenience.
Common cancellation reasons include discovering you prefer creating your own CV, finding lower-cost alternatives, accidentally activating a paid subscription during the free trial period, or realising the templates don't align with your industry or personal style. Many South African users also cancel after securing employment, when CV updates become unnecessary.
The critical 14-day free trial window
Resume Giants operates on an automatic trial-to-paid conversion model. Your 14-day free trial transforms into a billable subscription unless you actively cancel during that window. This automatic renewal structure means thousands of South African users discover unexpected charges weeks or months after signing up, when reviewing bank statements.
Timing your cancellation is therefore paramount. If you're uncertain about the service's value, cancel immediately during the trial period and avoid charges altogether. If charges have already appeared on your account, different recovery procedures apply. Yafee recommends documenting all transactions and communications from the moment you discover unwanted billing.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South African consumer law provides specific protections when you subscribe to online services, including clear cancellation and refund entitlements.
Consumer protection act and distance contracts
The Consumer Protection Act (No. 68 of 2008) is the primary legislation governing your relationship with Resume Giants and similar online service providers. Under this Act, distance contracts (which include all online purchases and subscriptions) grant you a legally binding right to cancel within 14 days of purchase without penalty, explanation, or financial loss.
If you cancel within this cooling-off period, Resume Giants must refund all amounts you've paid. The company cannot deduct penalties, administrative fees, or any other charges from your refund. This protection applies whether you signed up through their website or via an app store like Google Play or the Apple App Store.
After the 14-day period expires, your rights shift. You retain the absolute right to cancel your subscription at any time, but the company may retain payment for services already provided up to your cancellation date. However, they cannot lock you into indefinite contracts or charge unexplained future fees after you've cancelled.
Your legal position when Resume Giants breaches your rights
If Resume Giants refuses your refund request, ignores your cancellation instruction, or continues charging you after you've cancelled, you have statutory remedies. The company is legally obliged to process cancellations within a reasonable timeframe and cease all charges immediately upon receiving a valid cancellation notice.
Document every interaction: screenshots of your subscription page, email confirmations, payment receipts from your bank, and copies of your cancellation request with timestamps. Preserve these records for at least two years.
How to cancel Resume Giants in south africa
Cancellation procedure varies depending on whether you signed up through the Resume Giants website or via an app store application.
Step 1: gather your account and payment details
Before initiating cancellation, collect all relevant information. You'll need your Resume Giants account email address, the date you signed up, and details of your payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal account). Take screenshots of your current subscription page showing your plan type and billing cycle. This documentation protects you if disputes arise later and provides evidence for the National Consumer Commission should you need to escalate a complaint.
Step 2: cancel through the Resume Giants website
- Log into your Resume Giants account using your registered email and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section, typically found under "Account", "Profile", or "My Subscription".
- Locate the "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Billing" option.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation. The system may present retention offers or discount codes; you are not obligated to accept these.
- Save or screenshot the cancellation confirmation page displaying your cancellation date and any reference number.
- Check your registered email address for a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours. If you don't receive confirmation, your cancellation may not have processed.
Step 3: cancel if you signed up via google play or apple app store
If your subscription runs through an app store rather than Resume Giants' direct website, you must cancel through that platform's subscription management system.
- Google Play Store cancellation: Open the Google Play app on your device, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and subscriptions", choose "Subscriptions", select Resume Giants, and tap "Cancel subscription".
- Apple App Store cancellation: Open the Apple Settings app, tap your name, select "Subscriptions", find Resume Giants, and choose "Cancel subscription".
App store cancellations take effect immediately for future billing cycles. Yafee advises retaining screenshots of the cancellation confirmation from your app store, as these provide proof of your cancellation request.
Step 4: contact Resume Giants directly via email if online cancellation fails
If the online cancellation process doesn't work or you receive error messages, email Resume Giants directly. The corporate entity handling Resume Giants operates under Sonaga Tech Limited, with administrative operations based in Lucerne. Send your cancellation request to their customer support email address with the following information:
- Your full name and registered account email address
- Your account creation date
- Your current subscription plan and billing cycle (monthly or annual)
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Resume Giants subscription effective today's date"
- Your preferred contact method for confirmation
Send this email from the address registered to your Resume Giants account. Request a delivery confirmation and keep the email in your records. Resume Giants must respond to cancellation requests within 5 working days and confirm your subscription termination in writing.
Step 5: monitor your bank account and payment method
After cancelling, monitor your bank or payment provider for any further charges from Resume Giants. Allow 10 working days for the cancellation to propagate through payment processing systems. If charges continue after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction. South African law permits you to request a chargeback for unauthorised charges, and your bank's fraud department can investigate.
Refunds and what you're entitled to recover
Your refund entitlements depend on when you cancel relative to your subscription activation date.
Refunds during the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel your Resume Giants subscription within 14 calendar days of purchase, you have an unconditional legal right to a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act. The company cannot withhold any portion of your payment, regardless of whether you've accessed the service. Resume Giants must process refunds within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request, though most payment processors complete the transfer within 5 to 10 working days.
Contact your payment provider if a refund hasn't appeared in your account 30 days after cancellation. Your bank can trace the refund and confirm whether Resume Giants issued it. If the company failed to issue the refund, you have grounds to lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission.
Refunds after the 14-day period
Once your 14-day cooling-off window closes, Resume Giants may retain charges for the current billing month or annual period, depending on your subscription plan. However, they cannot charge you for future months or years after you've cancelled. If you've paid for an annual subscription and cancel midway through the year, Yafee recommends requesting a pro-rata refund (refund of unused months). While the company is not legally obliged to grant this, many providers do so as a goodwill gesture if you ask politely and provide a reason.
Common mistakes when cancelling Resume Giants
Cancellation itself is straightforward, but several traps can complicate your process and delay refunds.
Mistake 1: assuming app deletion cancels your subscription
Deleting the Resume Giants app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your billing agreement remains active, and charges will continue. You must explicitly cancel through your account settings or app store subscription management system. Thousands of South African users discover this when charges appear months after uninstalling the app.
Mistake 2: cancelling without saving confirmation proof
Always save or screenshot your cancellation confirmation page and any confirmation emails. Without this proof, you cannot demonstrate you cancelled if the company claims it never received your request. Yafee strongly recommends keeping these records for at least two years, as chargeback disputes and consumer complaints can take time to resolve.
Mistake 3: not checking your spam folder for confirmation emails
Cancellation confirmation emails sometimes land in your spam or promotions folder. Check these folders within 48 hours of cancelling. If you don't find a confirmation email, contact Resume Giants to verify your cancellation was processed.
Mistake 4: cancelling but continuing to use the service
After cancelling, your access to Resume Giants will terminate on your next billing date or at the end of your current billing period, not immediately. You'll receive notice of the exact access end date. If you need your CV or cover letters before access expires, download and save your documents to your computer immediately after cancelling.
Pricing structure and subscription plans
Understanding Resume Giants' pricing helps you calculate what refunds you're entitled to if you cancel mid-cycle.
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Cost (South African Rand) | Free trial period | Auto-renewal | Cancellation difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (Monthly) | Month-to-month | R99-R149 | 14 days | Yes | Low |
| Standard (Annual) | One year | R599-R899 | 14 days | Yes | Low |
| Premium (Monthly) | Month-to-month | R199-R299 | 14 days | Yes | Low |
| Premium (Annual) | One year | R1199-R1899 | 14 days | Yes | Low |
| Free tier | Indefinite | R0 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Prices listed are approximate and may vary by payment method or promotional offers applied at signup. South African prices are converted from USD at the time of this publication. Always verify current pricing on the Resume Giants website before subscribing.
What happens after you cancel Resume Giants
Understanding your post-cancellation situation prevents confusion and allows you to plan your next steps.
Access termination and document recovery
After you cancel, your access to the Resume Giants platform continues until the end of your current billing period. If you cancelled on the 15th of a month but paid until the 30th, you retain access until the 30th. After that date, you cannot log in, edit documents, or download new files. Consequently, download all your CV and cover letter documents before your access expires. Save these files to your computer or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) so you retain copies permanently.
Refund processing timeline
If you're entitled to a refund under the 14-day cooling-off period, Resume Giants will initiate the refund within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request. Refunds to South African bank accounts typically appear within 5 to 10 working days after the company initiates the transfer. If your refund doesn't appear within 40 days of cancelling, contact Resume Giants for a status update, then escalate to your bank's dispute department if necessary.
Unsubscribe from marketing emails
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically unsubscribe you from Resume Giants' marketing emails. You'll continue receiving promotional messages about re-subscribing. Unsubscribe from these emails by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any promotional email, or contact customer support directly to request removal from their mailing list.
If Resume Giants refuses to cancel or refund you
In rare cases, companies ignore cancellation requests or refuse refunds unlawfully. You have formal escalation routes.
Step 1: send a formal written cancellation demand
If Resume Giants hasn't processed your cancellation after 10 working days, send a formal written letter (email counts as written) titled "Notice of Cancellation and Demand for Refund". Include your full name, account email, account creation date, and the date you submitted your original cancellation request. State clearly: "I demand immediate cancellation of my subscription and refund of all charges in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act. I expect confirmation of cancellation and refund details within 5 working days." Send this to their support email and retain a copy for your records.
Step 2: lodge a complaint with the national consumer commission
If Resume Giants ignores your formal demand, lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC), South Africa's primary consumer protection authority. You can file a complaint online at www.ncc.org.za or contact them at 0800 013 207. Provide the NCC with copies of your original subscription confirmation, cancellation requests, formal written demand, and any email responses from Resume Giants. The NCC investigates complaints and can compel companies to refund consumers or face enforcement action.
Step 3: request a chargeback from your bank
Contact your bank's fraud or dispute department and request a chargeback for unauthorised charges. Provide your bank with proof of your cancellation request and documentation showing Resume Giants continued charging you after cancellation. South African banks investigate chargeback claims and can reverse transactions if evidence supports your claim. This process typically takes 30 to 60 days.
Comparing Resume Giants to alternative CV-building platforms
Before deciding whether to cancel, you may want to understand how Resume Giants compares to competitors available in South Africa.
| Platform | Free tier available | Monthly cost (ZAR) | Cancellation ease | Trial period | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resume Giants | Yes, limited | R99-R299 | Easy (online) | 14 days | AI-assisted CVs |
| Canva | Yes, comprehensive | R119-R179 | Very easy | 7 days | Design-focused users |
| LinkedIn Premium Resume | No | R179-R349 | Easy (via LinkedIn) | Free (optional) | Networking-first professionals |
| Microsoft Word templates | Yes, full featured | R0-R119 | N/A (one-time) | N/A | Budget-conscious users |
| Professional CV writers (local) | No | R1200-R3500 | N/A (one-time service) | No | High-stakes positions |
Yafee recommends evaluating whether a cheaper alternative meets your needs before committing to any paid subscription. Many South African job seekers successfully create professional CVs using free templates in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, combined with careful formatting and proofreading.
