Moving address or relocation

If you are relocating and need to cancel, submit a cancellation request via the website or email with your new address and effective cancellation date. If a shipment is already dispatched the payment for that shipment is typically non-refundable. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for online contract terms.

Price increase

If BetterVits raises the price mid-contract and you did not agree to automatic increases, you may cancel the subscription. Provide a copy of the original price and the new price as proof. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding unfair terms and service performance.

Death of the subscriber

Notify BetterVits by email or post and supply a death certificate or executor contact details. The company does not publish a specific procedure; use email [email protected] or send a registered letter to the postal address. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for termination of consumer contracts.

Legitimate ground accepted by BetterVits

Research shows BetterVits publishes a 60-day money-back guarantee to return products; returns are accepted within 60 days even if opened. There is no published list of other accepted legitimate grounds. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for services not performed with reasonable care and skill.

End of commitment or fixed-term

BetterVits does not publish a minimum commitment on its site. If you have a fixed-term contract, check your original order confirmation and terms at Terms. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Cooling-off period (14 days)

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day cooling-off period from when you first subscribe or receive your initial delivery for most online contracts. To cancel within 14 days, notify BetterVits by email or post and request a refund. For digital-only content the exception applies once download/streaming begins.

Before cancelling: how to negotiate

There are no widely reported retention offers from BetterVits in the research. A small number of customers reported that the company eventually responded and processed cancellations or refunds. To request retention, email [email protected] or use the contact form and ask explicitly for a retention offer or pause. Provide your order number and propose an alternative such as a one-off skip or pause for two deliveries.

What cancellation saves you - yearly calculation

Example: Multivitamin subscribe & save price is £23.00 per month. Yearly cost calculation: 12 x £23.00 = £276.00 per year. If you instead buy a single-bottle one-off at £25.00 twice a year, cost is 2 x £25.00 = £50.00 per year. Yearly saving by cancelling subscription and buying two one-off bottles: £276.00 - £50.00 = £226.00 per year.

Cheapest alternative (example comparison): Buy individual multivitamin one-off at £25.00 per bottle from BetterVits for occasional use, or compare with supermarket single-bottle vitamins typically sold under £10.00 per bottle at major retailers. Always check active ingredient lists before switching.

Key consumer law

United Kingdom consumer law protecting online purchases includes the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potential unfair practices.

Your statutory rights

Cooling-off: Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day right to cancel for most online contracts from receipt of goods. Service quality: The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill. Unfair terms: Unfair contract terms, including disproportionate cancellation penalties, are not binding under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

How to escalate

1) Complain to BetterVits first (email [email protected] or use the contact form at Contact). 2) If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice or Trading Standards for guidance. 3) For qualifying card payments, consider Section 75 or a chargeback via your card issuer. 4) The CMA can be informed about hard-to-cancel subscriptions.

Check final billing

Save copies of any confirmation and watch your bank account for any further debits for at least 30 days. If you were charged after cancellation, dispute via your card issuer and consider a chargeback or Section 75 claim if the purchase was over the qualifying threshold.

Returns and data

If you want a refund, use the 60-day money-back guarantee. Return instructions are on BetterVits FAQ and returns page; keep proof of return postage. To request deletion of personal data, email [email protected] and ask for data removal under UK data protection rights.

Re-activation and switching

To restart a subscription, log in via the Manage Subscriptions flow or sign up again on the site. If you prefer a different supplier, compare active ingredient lists and pricing before switching.

• 1. Access the Manage Subscriptions page and cancel using the emailed code.
