Cancel Simple Life: Your Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Simple Life in south africa: your legal rights and step-by-step guide
What is Simple Life and when cancellation becomes necessary
Simple Life is a subscription application designed to help you organise daily habits, track tasks, and build lasting lifestyle changes through meal logging, habit tracking, and guided wellness programmes. The app is available through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly via Simple Life's website.
Circumstances change. You may find the app no longer aligns with your goals, you've discovered a more suitable alternative, or the subscription simply fails to deliver meaningful value to your routine. Yafee specialises in helping South African consumers navigate subscription cancellations with confidence and understand their legal protections throughout the process.
Common reasons to cancel Simple Life
You should consider cancellation if you use the features infrequently, the subscription no longer serves your wellness objectives, or you notice repeated charges without corresponding service value. Do not allow subscription inertia to keep you paying for an underutilised service.
Understanding your billing platform matters
Your cancellation method depends entirely on your purchase channel. Subscriptions acquired through Apple, Google, or the Simple Life website follow distinct cancellation procedures and refund eligibility criteria. Identifying where you subscribed is the critical first step toward a successful cancellation.
Your consumer rights under south african law
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) of 2008 provides you with explicit legal protections when cancelling subscription services in South Africa.
The 7-day cooling-off period protection
Under Section 16 of the CPA, you possess a 7-day cooling-off period for online and distance-marketing purchases. This right allows you to cancel Simple Life within 7 days of purchase and claim a full refund, regardless of whether you have used the service. This protection applies to all subscriptions initiated through the Simple Life website or mobile application.
Your legal position: You can invoke this cooling-off right without providing justification. Retain your purchase receipt or confirmation email as proof of the purchase date. If you subscribed on a Monday, your 7-day window closes on the following Sunday. Calculate this period carefully and document your cancellation request in writing.
Transparency and disclosure obligations
Simple Life must supply you with unambiguous terms prior to subscription activation. This mandatory disclosure includes subscription cost, billing frequency, auto-renewal mechanics, and explicit cancellation instructions. If the company failed to provide these details clearly, you retain grounds to request a refund even after the 7-day period expires. Should Simple Life refuse, Yafee recommends escalating your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC), South Africa's primary consumer protection authority.
Protection against unauthorised auto-renewal charges
South African law prohibits auto-renewal without clear, prior written consent. If Simple Life continued charging your account after you cancelled, or initiated charges without your explicit agreement, you can dispute the transaction with your bank or payment provider and lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission. Document all communication attempts and keep records of unauthorised charges.
How to cancel Simple Life via the apple app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store on iOS, you must cancel directly within Apple's system, as Simple Life cannot process App Store cancellations.
Step one: access your apple account settings
- Open the Settings application on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID profile picture at the top of the screen.
- If prompted, sign in using your Apple ID credentials.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu options.
Step two: locate and cancel Simple Life
- Scroll through your active subscriptions and find Simple Life.
- Tap the Simple Life entry to open its subscription details.
- Select Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice when prompted.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple within 24 hours.
Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. Apple will send a final confirmation email outlining your cancellation date and any applicable refund eligibility.
How to cancel Simple Life via google play store
Android users who subscribed through Google Play Store must initiate cancellation through Google's subscription management system.
Step one: access your google play subscriptions
- Open the Google Play Store application on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Manage my subscriptions from the dropdown menu.
Step two: cancel your Simple Life subscription
- Locate Simple Life in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap the subscription to view its details.
- Select Cancel subscription and confirm your cancellation request.
- Google will email you a cancellation confirmation and your final billing date.
Your access continues until the conclusion of your current paid period. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation for your records.
How to cancel Simple Life via direct website subscription
If you subscribed directly through Simple Life's website, you must contact the company directly to process your cancellation.
Step one: locate the official cancellation address
Simple Life's legal and mailing address is the appropriate contact point for cancellation requests. Address your communication to the company's registered business location, provided in the final section of this guide.
Step two: submit your written cancellation request
- Compose a clear email or letter stating your intention to cancel your Simple Life subscription.
- Include your full name, email address, and subscription account details.
- Reference your original purchase date and payment method.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 5 business days.
- Send your request to the cancellation address listed at the conclusion of this guide.
Step three: verify your cancellation status
- Monitor your email inbox and spam folder for Simple Life's cancellation response.
- Confirm that your final billing date aligns with the company's communication.
- Retain a copy of the cancellation confirmation for your personal records.
- If you receive no response within 10 business days, escalate to the National Consumer Commission with copies of your original request.
Refund eligibility and timeline for Simple Life
Your refund eligibility depends on your subscription age and the platform through which you subscribed.
Within the 7-day cooling-off period
You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within 7 days of purchase, as confirmed by the Consumer Protection Act Section 16. This applies regardless of service usage. Apple, Google, and Simple Life are legally required to process these refunds within 14 days of your cancellation request.
Beyond the 7-day period
Refunds after day 7 depend on the company's refund policy and your platform. Apple and Google may offer partial refunds for unused service portions if you cancel mid-cycle. Simple Life may decline refunds once the cooling-off period expires, unless you can demonstrate non-delivery of contracted services or unauthorised charges. Yafee recommends reviewing your subscription agreement for specific refund terms.
Refund processing timeline
Apple and Google typically process refunds to your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days, though your bank may require an additional 2 to 3 working days to reflect the credit. Direct Simple Life refunds may take 7 to 14 business days. Request a tracking reference from the company or platform when you submit your cancellation.
What happens after you cancel Simple Life
Cancellation does not immediately terminate your access; instead, your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle, after which the app will become unusable without a valid subscription.
Your access during the notice period
You retain full access to all Simple Life features until your subscription expires. Use this window to export any personal data, habit logs, or meal plans you wish to retain. Simple Life should provide a data export function within the application settings.
Post-cancellation account management
After your subscription ends, you may delete the app from your device or leave it installed but inactive. Yafee recommends removing the app to prevent accidental re-engagement or confusion about your subscription status. If you wish to reactivate Simple Life in future, you can resubscribe through your original platform at any time.
Monitoring for unexpected charges
Monitor your bank or payment provider statements for 30 days following your cancellation date to confirm no further charges occur. If unauthorized charges appear after cancellation, immediately dispute them with your bank and lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission, attaching copies of your cancellation confirmation and transaction statements.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Simple Life
Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the correct procedure, but several pitfalls can delay your cancellation or cost you refund eligibility.
Mistake one: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing Simple Life from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your account remains active and billing continues. You must explicitly cancel through your platform's subscription settings before deletion. Uninstalling the app alone will not stop future charges.
Mistake two: missing the 7-day cooling-off deadline
The Consumer Protection Act's 7-day window closes permanently after day 7. Once this period expires, refund eligibility becomes significantly restricted. If you decide to cancel, do so within the first week of purchase to preserve your automatic refund right. Yafee emphasises the importance of calculating your deadline accurately and documenting your cancellation request the moment you decide to exit.
Mistake three: failing to retain cancellation confirmation
Always keep your cancellation confirmation email from Apple, Google, or Simple Life. This document serves as your proof of cancellation if disputes arise. Without written confirmation, you may struggle to prove you cancelled on time or dispute subsequent charges.
Mistake four: not checking your final invoice
Review your final statement to confirm it reflects only charges up to your cancellation date. If you are billed after cancellation, immediately contact your payment provider and the National Consumer Commission, providing copies of your cancellation confirmation and the disputed invoice.

Contact information and escalation for Simple Life cancellation
If Simple Life does not respond to your cancellation request within 10 business days, or if the company refuses to cancel your subscription in violation of the Consumer Protection Act, escalate your complaint to South Africa's consumer protection authority.
Simple Life company address
Direct your written cancellation request to:
Simple Lives
[Registered business address to be confirmed with company documentation]
Ensure your letter includes your full name, subscription email address, account reference, original purchase date, and a clear statement of your cancellation request. Send this correspondence via registered mail or email (if an email contact is publicly listed) and retain proof of posting or delivery confirmation.
Escalation to the national consumer commission
If Simple Life fails to respond, honour your cancellation, or process your refund within the required timeframe, lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC is South Africa's statutory consumer protection body and investigates breaches of the Consumer Protection Act.
National Consumer Commission
Website: www.ncc.org.za
Email: [email protected]
Telephone: 0860 10 6471
Provide the NCC with copies of your original cancellation request, all company responses, proof of payment, and screenshots of your subscription settings. Include details of your purchase date, subscription cost, and the specific dates on which you attempted to cancel.
Disputing charges with your bank
Simultaneously, contact your bank or payment provider to dispute any charges made after your cancellation date. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation confirmation and evidence of non-service. Your bank can initiate a chargeback if it determines the charges were unauthorised or contrary to your explicit instructions.
