Moving

If you move to a country where BetterMe is not available you can request cancellation by email to [email protected]. Provide proof: a copy of a recent utility bill or official document showing the new address and the account email. BetterMe's published policies do not list automatic acceptance; they review requests per their policy. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for service performance.

Price increase

If BetterMe increases the subscription price during an active period, check your subscription terms and the notification you received. Provide proof: the price change notice and your billing statements. If the increase is not authorised in contract terms or is unfair under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, raise a complaint citing that act. BetterMe's public pages do not list a specific compensation formula.

Death of subscriber

To cancel due to the subscriber's death, send an email to [email protected] with a copy of the death certificate and the account email. BetterMe's publicly available policies do not state an automatic process; requests are handled case by case.

Legitimate ground (service failure, non-performance)

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 services must be supplied with reasonable care and skill. If BetterMe fails to provide the paid service you should collect proof such as error logs, screenshots, or correspondence and send them to [email protected]. BetterMe may provide refunds at its discretion and per their money-back policy. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

End of commitment

If you have a fixed-term purchase and the term ends, the subscription should stop if not renewed. Check your account's subscription status via Apple ID, Google Play, or the website flow. Provide proof: subscription status screenshot or email from the store.

Cooling-off (14-day withdrawal)

Consumers in the UK have a 14-day right to withdraw under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for online service contracts. For continuous services you can request withdrawal but BetterMe may deduct a proportionate amount for services already supplied. To exercise this right send an unequivocal statement to BetterMe International Limited at Office No. 101, 1st Floor, "Afentiko Anna" Building, Corner of Tepeleniou & Korytsas Street 8010, Paphos, Cyprus or to [email protected]. Provide proof: dated message and account details. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Before cancelling: negotiate

BetterMe's published pages do not list standard retention offers. To attempt retention, email [email protected] and request a retention offer or discounted period. Include account email, last four digits of the card used, and the reason for leaving. If you purchased via Apple or Google Play, request assistance through the store because BetterMe cannot modify store-managed subscriptions directly. There is no public list of retention discounts on BetterMe's subscription terms.

What cancelling saves you

Use the real monthly prices published by BetterMe to compute yearly cost and savings. Example calculations from published prices:

If you are on the BetterMe Monthly Subscription at £9.99 monthly, annual cost = £9.99 x 12 = £119.88 per year.

If you are on the cheapest published BetterMe monthly plan at £6.99, annual cost = £6.99 x 12 = £83.88 per year.

If you are on the £29.99 monthly plan, annual cost = £29.99 x 12 = £359.88 per year.

Cheapest real alternative: free workout sources such as public YouTube fitness channels at £0 per month. Example savings compared to BetterMe at £6.99:

£6.99 x 12 = £83.88 per year saved by switching to a £0 alternative.

Primary UK laws

Key UK laws that apply: Consumer Rights Act 2015 (services must be performed with reasonable care and skill) and Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (14-day cooling-off right for online contracts, with digital content exception once supply begins with express consent).

Auto-renewal and unfair practices

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) treats unclear auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel subscriptions as potential unfair practices. If BetterMe's renewal terms were not transparent or cancellation is made difficult, you can complain to Citizens Advice and the CMA.

Escalation steps

1) Complain to BetterMe support at [email protected] and keep records.

2) If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for guidance and consider raising a dispute with your card issuer (chargeback) or a Section 75 claim if the payment was made with a qualifying credit card transaction.

3) For platform purchases, request refunds through Apple or Google Play as required by their store policies; BetterMe cannot grant App Store refunds directly.

Check access and final billing

After cancelling auto-renewal you retain access until the end of the paid period. Verify the next payment date in Apple ID, Google Play or your BetterMe account. Keep screenshots of subscription status and the date showing auto-renewal is off.

Data and account

If you want data erased, request account deletion from [email protected]. Ask for confirmation of data deletion and the date it will occur. BetterMe's privacy policy on their website contains specific data handling details.

Re-activation

To restart the subscription you must subscribe again via the original platform (Apple ID, Google Play or website). Any promotional price is not guaranteed on re-subscription unless explicitly offered.

Follow this checklist to cancel and protect yourself in the UK.

• Identify where you purchased the subscription: Apple App Store, Google Play, or BetterMe website.
• Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial end or billing date if on a trial.
• Take screenshots of cancellation confirmation or of auto-renewal being switched off.
• Save email replies from [email protected] that confirm cancellation.
• If you want a refund, read BetterMe's money-back policy and prepare proof of the issue.
• If you cannot resolve the issue, contact your bank for chargeback or Citizens Advice for next steps.
