Cancel Cirkul: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel cirkul and avoid hidden charges in the UAE
What is cirkul and why you might want to cancel
Cirkul is a subscription-based water customization system that sends you flavor cartridges (called "Sips") on a recurring schedule. You buy a reusable bottle, insert flavor cartridges into it, and adjust the intensity as you drink. If you've signed up for Auto-Ship and no longer want the service, cancelling quickly prevents unwanted charges from hitting your account.
How cirkul's subscription model works
When you purchase a Cirkul starter kit, you choose to either buy cartridges one-time or enrol in Auto-Ship. Auto-Ship sends replacement cartridges on your selected schedule (usually every 30 or 60 days) until you cancel. Many customers find they don't use the cartridges as fast as the delivery schedule, or they simply lose interest in the product. The good news: cancelling is straightforward if you know where to go.
Common reasons to cancel
You might want to cancel Cirkul because you prefer regular water, the cartridge flavors don't suit your taste, you're travelling and can't use the service, or you're tightening your budget. Whatever your reason, Stopee recommends acting within 14 days of your last charge to protect yourself from billing surprises. At Stopee, we've helped thousands of consumers understand their subscription rights and take control of recurring charges.

What the UAE consumer protection law says about subscriptions
The UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006) requires businesses to be transparent about subscription terms, charges, and cancellation methods. While there is no statutory cooling-off period specifically for online subscriptions under UAE law, the law does protect you against misleading terms and unfair contract conditions. If Cirkul's cancellation process is deliberately hidden or the company charges you after you cancel, you have grounds to escalate a complaint.
Your escalation options if cirkul refuses to refund or stop charges
If you cancel but Cirkul continues billing you, first gather proof: screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, email receipts, and credit card statements showing the unwanted charges. Contact Cirkul's customer service in writing (email counts) and request a full refund within 7 days. If they refuse, you can file a formal complaint with the Consumer Protection Section of the Department of Municipality and Transport (or your local consumer authority in your emirate). Stopee recommends keeping all correspondence; consumer authorities take documented cases seriously.
Step-by-step: how to cancel cirkul
Cancel via the cirkul website (the fastest method)
Cancelling through your online account is the easiest way to stop Auto-Ship immediately. You'll receive instant confirmation, and there's no risk of your request getting lost in an email inbox. Follow these steps exactly:
- Open your web browser and go to DrinkCirkul.com/Login.
- Enter your email address and password to log in.
- Pro tip: If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link and reset it via the confirmation email sent to you.
- Once logged in, navigate to "Your Account" or "Your Details" section (usually in the top menu or account settings).
- Look for the "Cancel Plan," "Manage Subscription," or "Auto-Ship" option and click it.
- Select a cancellation reason from the dropdown menu if prompted (this helps Cirkul understand why customers leave, but doesn't prevent your cancellation).
- Review any retention offers or tips Cirkul may show you. You can ignore these if you're certain about cancelling.
- Locate and click the final "Cancel Plan" or "Confirm Cancellation" button.
- Wait for the confirmation message to appear on screen. Screenshot it or note the confirmation number if provided.
- Warning: Don't close the browser or navigate away until you see the final confirmation. Many users miss the last step and think they've cancelled when they haven't.
- Check your email inbox (and spam folder) within 5 minutes for a cancellation confirmation email from Cirkul.
Cancel if you purchased through apple app store
If you bought your Cirkul subscription through an in-app purchase on your iPhone or iPad, Apple handles your subscription and refunds, not Cirkul. Follow these steps:
- Open the App Store app on your Apple device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Cirkul" in the list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email. This is your proof of cancellation.
- Pro tip: Apple typically allows a refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase. If you cancelled late and want a refund, contact Apple Support directly through the App Store app.
Cancel if you purchased through google play
Subscriptions bought through Google Play on Android devices are managed by Google, not Cirkul. Here's how to cancel:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and Subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
- Find "Cirkul" in your active subscriptions and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and follow the prompts to confirm.
- Check your email for a Google Play cancellation confirmation.
- Pro tip: Like Apple, Google Play offers a refund window. If you're within the refund period, you can request one through Google Play support.
Cancel by contacting cirkul customer service (backup option)
If the website method isn't working or you can't access your account, email Cirkul directly. Send a cancellation request to their customer service address (available on their official website or Terms of Service). Include your full name, email address associated with your account, and order number. Request written confirmation of your cancellation. This creates a paper trail if there are disputes later.
What happens after you cancel cirkul
Your Auto-Ship stops immediately (mostly)
Once you click the final cancellation button, Cirkul stops scheduling new shipments to your address. However, any orders already processed or in transit before your cancellation may still arrive and be charged. Check your confirmation email to see the exact cancellation date.
You keep access to your account history
Your online account remains active so you can view your order history, billing records, and past shipments. This is useful if you need to reference old charges for a refund dispute or credit card chargeback.
Watch for "pending" charges in the next 5-7 days
Even after cancellation, your bank or credit card may show a "pending" charge for 5-7 business days. This is normal; the charge will drop off automatically if Cirkul processed your cancellation correctly. If the charge converts to a completed transaction, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute if Cirkul won't refund you.
Refund policy: what you should know
Consumable products like flavor cartridges are not refundable
Cirkul's standard policy treats flavor cartridges as consumable products, meaning they're generally non-returnable and non-refundable once purchased. However, if you receive damaged cartridges or the wrong product, Cirkul's customer service may offer a replacement (typically one per account). You must report the issue within 14 days of receiving the defective cartridge.
Non-consumable items (bottles) may be returnable
The reusable bottles themselves are non-consumables. While Cirkul's Terms of Service don't explicitly guarantee a return window, some resellers mention a 30-day return policy for unused bottles in original packaging. Contact Cirkul directly to ask; if they refuse and you believe the bottle is defective, escalate to your local consumer authority in the UAE.
Refunds for subscription charges (when you're entitled)
If Cirkul continues charging you after you cancel, you're entitled to a refund of those unauthorized charges. Contact your bank or credit card issuer and dispute the charge as "unauthorized subscription renewal." Most financial institutions in the UAE will reverse such charges if you provide proof of your cancellation (screenshot of the confirmation page or email).

Subscription (Auto-Ship) pricing notes
Current Auto-Ship pricing in AED is not publicly listed on most official channels; Cirkul typically offers Auto-Ship discounts directly on their website during checkout. If you're considering a subscription, Stopee recommends contacting Cirkul to confirm the exact monthly charge before you commit. Remember: once you start Auto-Ship, you must actively cancel to stop the recurring charge.
Common mistakes that delay your cancellation
Cancelling a subscription feels simple but is often complicated by small mistakes. Stopee has seen countless customers think they've cancelled when they haven't. Protect yourself by avoiding these traps.
Mistake 1: not clicking the final confirmation button
Many people review the cancellation screen, see the "Cancel Plan" button, and assume they're done. They close the browser thinking the cancellation is complete. The button must be clicked. If you don't see a final confirmation message or receive a confirmation email, go back and repeat the process.
Mistake 2: cancelling via email without requesting written proof
If you email Cirkul to cancel, don't assume they received it. Always request a written confirmation and a specific cancellation date in their reply. If support doesn't respond within 7 days, follow up or cancel via the website instead. Keep all emails as proof.
Mistake 3: confusing "pause" with "cancel"
Some subscription services offer a "pause" option that temporarily halts shipments but keeps the subscription active. Make sure you're truly cancelling, not pausing. Check your confirmation email to confirm it says "cancelled" or "subscription ended," not "paused" or "on hold."
Mistake 4: not checking for pending charges after cancellation
Monitor your bank account for the next 10 days after cancellation. If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, dispute it immediately with your card issuer. The faster you report it, the easier the refund.
Checklist: before and after you cancel
| Step | Action | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Log in to your Cirkul account and check your cancellation eligibility (no pending disputes or holds). | ☐ |
| 2 | Note your account email and the date of your last Auto-Ship charge. | ☐ |
| 3 | Cancel via the website using the steps above. If the website doesn't work, email customer service. | ☐ |
| 4 | Screenshot the cancellation confirmation page and save the URL. | ☐ |
| 5 | Wait 5 minutes and check your email (including spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation email from Cirkul. | ☐ |
| 6 | Forward the confirmation email to yourself or save it as a PDF for your records. | ☐ |
| 7 | Monitor your bank account or credit card for 10 days to ensure no new charges appear after your cancellation date. | ☐ |
| 8 | If a charge appears, gather proof of cancellation and file a dispute with your bank within 30 days. | ☐ |
When to consider keeping your cirkul subscription
Keep it if you actively use the flavors
If you drink the cartridges on schedule and enjoy the variety, Auto-Ship might be worth the cost. Calculate your spending: if a 6-pack costs AED 151 and lasts 30 days, that's roughly AED 5 per day. Compare this to your usual beverage spending.
Keep it if you get discounts or rewards
Cirkul occasionally runs Auto-Ship promotions or loyalty programs that reduce the per-cartridge cost. If you're already getting a discount, cancelling might mean losing that benefit.
Cancel it if you've accumulated unused cartridges
If your drawer is full of unopened flavors, you're paying for a service you don't use. Stopping Auto-Ship immediately saves money each month.
How to contact cirkul if you need help
Official customer service channels
Visit the official Cirkul website and look for the "Contact Us" or "Support" section. You can typically reach customer service via email or live chat. For UAE-specific inquiries, mention your location; Cirkul may have regional support teams. Always use the official website to find contact details, never respond to emails claiming to be from Cirkul unless they come directly from a domain like drinkcirkul.com.
Escalation: filing a complaint with UAE consumer authorities
If Cirkul refuses to respond or won't refund unauthorized charges, file a complaint with your local consumer protection authority. In Abu Dhabi, contact the Consumer Protection Section of the Department of Municipality and Transport. In Dubai, reach out to the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. Provide your account details, cancellation confirmation, and proof of any disputed charges. At Stopee, we've seen consumer authorities resolve billing disputes within 30-60 days.
