How to cancel curable and get your refund in new zealand

Understanding curable and why you might want to cancel

Curable is a digital health service built around pain-management programs and wellness tools. The platform offers in-app subscriptions through iOS and Android, web-based bookings via consult.curable.care, and pharmacy services through their Drugs@Home channel. If you've signed up and now want to step back, you're not alone. Stopee helps New Zealand consumers navigate cancellations every day, and Curable is no exception.

What services does curable offer

Curable delivers digital health content, one-on-one consultations, and a marketplace for health products. You can access the main Curable Health app on your phone, book consultations through their web portal, or order medicines and health items through Drugs@Home. Each channel operates on different billing cycles and cancellation rules, which is why understanding your specific subscription type matters before you cancel.

Where curable operates and what this means for cancellation

Curable's corporate offices sit in the United States, but the service is available to New Zealand users. The company doesn't maintain a dedicated postal address in New Zealand, so cancellation requests must go through email or their U.S. contact points. This is important to know upfront, because it shapes how and where you'll send your cancellation request. Stopee recommends keeping email proof of every cancellation attempt you make.

Your consumer rights under new zealand law

New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act protects you when you buy goods and services. This protection applies to Curable subscriptions and purchases, even though the company is based overseas.

What the consumer guarantees act covers

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to expect services to be delivered with due care and skill, fit for purpose, and safe. If Curable's service fails to meet these standards, you can request a refund, repair, or replacement. The Act also protects you against misleading or deceptive conduct. If Curable misrepresents what you're paying for, you have grounds to cancel and claim a full refund.

What to do if curable refuses your cancellation request

If Curable doesn't respond to your cancellation email within 14 days, or if they refuse to cancel when you have grounds to do so under the Consumer Guarantees Act, escalate to the Commerce Commission. You can file a formal complaint at comcom.govt.nz. Stopee advises documenting everything: your cancellation request, the date you sent it, any response, and why you believe you have the right to cancel. The Commerce Commission takes overseas companies seriously and will investigate non-compliance.

How to cancel curable step by step

Cancellation methods depend on how you subscribed. Below are the exact steps for each channel.

Cancelling an iOS app subscription

Apple manages your Curable subscription on iOS, so you'll cancel through your Apple account, not directly with Curable.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
3. Tap Subscriptions.
4. Find Curable Health and tap it.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription, then confirm.
6. Screenshot or note the cancellation confirmation date.

Pro tip: Check your Apple receipt email for confirmation. Apple will stop billing you at the end of your current billing period, even though you've cancelled now.

Cancelling an android or google play subscription

Google Play handles Android subscriptions the same way Apple does.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Tap Manage subscriptions.
4. Find Curable and tap it.
5. Tap Cancel subscription, then confirm.
6. Save or screenshot the cancellation confirmation.

Warning: Do not simply delete the Curable app. Cancelling through Google Play is the only way to stop future charges.

Cancelling a web subscription or consultation booking

If you booked or subscribed through consult.curable.care, follow these steps.

1. Visit consult.curable.care and log into your account.
2. Look for a Manage Subscriptions, Billing, or Account Settings section.
3. Select the subscription or booking you want to cancel.
4. Click the cancellation option if it appears on the page.
5. If no self-service option exists, note your order ID and booking date, then email support@curable.care with your request.

Pro tip: Your cancellation email should include your account email address, full name, order ID (if applicable), and the specific service you want to cancel. Keep this brief and factual: "I wish to cancel my subscription effective immediately. Account email: [your email]. Order ID: [if applicable]."

Cancelling Drugs@Home orders

Pharmacy orders have tighter windows. If your medication hasn't been dispatched, you may cancel without penalty.

1. Check your order confirmation email for the dispatch status.
2. If the order is still pending, email support@curable.care with your order number and request cancellation.
3. If the order has already been dispatched, you may incur return shipping or restocking fees as outlined in Curable's terms.
4. For damaged or expired items, report within 7 days of receipt to qualify for a refund.

Warning: Once a pharmacy order leaves Curable's warehouse, cancellation becomes difficult. Act fast if you change your mind.

What happens to your access after you cancel

Cancellation doesn't mean instant lockout. Here's what to expect.

How long you'll keep access

For monthly app subscriptions, you retain access until the end of the month in which you cancelled. If you subscribed annually, access continues until your renewal date arrives. Stopee recommends checking your confirmation email for the exact renewal or expiry date, so you're not surprised when access stops.

Your data after cancellation

Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your account or health data. If you want Curable to remove your personal information entirely, you must request this separately in writing to support@curable.care. Reference the Privacy Act 2020 in your email and ask for confirmation that your data has been deleted. Give Curable 20 working days to respond.

Stopping future charges

For app store subscriptions, cancellation through Apple or Google stops all future billing immediately. For web subscriptions, your cancellation email should prevent renewal, but Stopee recommends sending a follow-up email 3 days before your next billing date asking for confirmation that the renewal has been cancelled. This small step prevents accidental charges.

Understanding curable's refund policy

Refunds depend on what you're cancelling and when you cancel.

Refunds for web orders and consultations

If you cancel a consultation booking or web order before payment is collected, no refund is needed. If payment has already been taken and you cancel before the service begins, Curable will issue a full refund once they confirm your eligibility. Cancellations made after payment but before the service date usually qualify. Cancellations after the service has started do not qualify for a refund under Curable's standard terms.

Refunds for Drugs@Home orders

Pharmacy orders fall into specific refund categories. You'll receive a full refund if the items are damaged, defective, expired (with less than 3 months remaining), or mismatched to your order. You must report these issues within 7 days of receipt. Curable will process your refund after confirming the fault, typically within 10 working days.

Refunds for app subscriptions

Apple and Google handle refunds for app subscriptions, not Curable directly. If you cancel an app subscription and want a refund for the current billing period, request it from Apple or Google within 14 days of the charge. Both platforms are generally willing to refund if you didn't use the service significantly.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid

We understand how frustrating it is when a cancellation goes wrong. Here are the traps Stopee sees every week.

Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription

This is the biggest mistake. Deleting the Curable app from your phone does nothing to stop the charges. Your subscription continues to renew in the background, billing you every month. You must cancel through the app store settings first, then delete the app afterward if you want.

Not keeping cancellation proof

If you email support@curable.care to cancel, screenshot the email and the subject line showing the date and time. Save the automatic reply if you receive one. If a dispute arises later and Curable claims they never received your request, your email timestamp is your evidence. Stopee advises keeping these screenshots for at least 90 days after cancellation.

Missing the 7-day reporting window for Drugs@Home issues

If your medication arrives damaged or expired, you have 7 days to report it. After that, Curable won't process a refund. Check your order immediately upon receipt, and email support within the window if there's a problem.

Ignoring renewal reminders

Curable sometimes sends renewal notices to users who've cancelled. These are mistakes on their end, but they may still charge if you don't respond. If you receive a renewal notice after cancelling, reply immediately asking for confirmation that your cancellation is still in effect.

Checklist before you hit cancel

Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation goes smoothly.

• Confirm your subscription type (app, web, pharmacy, or consultation).
• Note your account email and order ID if applicable.
• Check your current billing date so you know when access ends.
• Take a screenshot of your subscription settings or booking details.
• If emailing, use clear language: "I wish to cancel effective immediately."
• Send cancellation emails during New Zealand business hours (9 AM to 5 PM NZST).
• Follow up within 3 days if you don't receive a reply.
• Save all confirmation emails and cancellation proofs for 90 days.
• Check your bank statement on your next billing date to confirm charges have stopped.

Contacting curable for cancellation and support

Curable operates from the United States, but you can reach their support team via email.

Email contacts for cancellation

• General support and web subscriptions: support@curable.care

• Drugs@Home orders: support@curable.care

When you email, include your name, account email, subscription or order ID, and the date you want the cancellation to take effect. Expect a response within 5 to 10 working days.

Escalation if curable doesn't respond

If Curable doesn't reply to your cancellation email within 14 days, or if they refuse to cancel when you have valid grounds, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission at comcom.govt.nz. You can also contact the Disputes Resolution Service (DRS) if you're pursuing a refund dispute. Stopee has helped many New Zealand consumers escalate to these authorities, and they take overseas company complaints seriously.
