Manage Tactical Arbitrage

How to cancel tactical arbitrage and claim your consumer rights in new zealand

What tactical arbitrage is and why you might want to cancel

Tactical Arbitrage is a web-based software platform designed for Amazon FBA sellers and resellers to find product sourcing opportunities across retailers and online marketplaces. The tool scans product listings, compares prices between platforms, and provides analytics to help you identify inventory you can buy and resell at a profit.

You access Tactical Arbitrage through a browser portal known as the Threecolts Manager or Hub, where you manage your account, subscriptions, and sourcing projects. The platform is particularly popular for online arbitrage, retail arbitrage, and wholesale sourcing workflows.

However, if you've signed up and find the tool isn't delivering the results you expected, or if it's no longer fitting your business needs, you have every right to cancel. At Stopee, we understand that cancelling a subscription service can feel complicated, so we've created this guide to walk you through every step and protect your interests as a New Zealand consumer.

Common reasons to cancel tactical arbitrage

You might decide to cancel because the sourcing opportunities aren't as profitable as promised, the interface is too complex for your workflow, you've found a cheaper alternative, or you're simply winding down your reselling business. Whatever your reason, cancelling should be straightforward and hassle-free.

Why you should act now

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before your billing cycle ends. If you wait, you'll be charged again and will need to dispute the charge or wait for the next renewal date to cancel. Acting quickly protects your cash flow and prevents accidental charges.

How to cancel tactical arbitrage step by step

Tactical Arbitrage offers only one official cancellation method: through your online account portal. We'll walk you through the exact steps so you can cancel with confidence.

Cancellation via the threecolts manager web portal

1. Open your web browser and visit the Tactical Arbitrage login page.
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link to reset it before proceeding.
2. Enter your email address and password to log into your account.
   • If you use two-factor authentication, complete that step when prompted.
3. Once logged in, locate the "Billing" or "Manage Subscriptions" menu option in your account settings.
   • This is typically found in a sidebar menu or under "Account Settings" at the top right of the page.
4. Click on your active subscription and look for a "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel" button.
   • Tactical Arbitrage may ask you why you're cancelling - you can skip this or provide feedback if you wish.
5. Confirm your cancellation when the system prompts you.
   • A confirmation message will appear on screen - this is your proof of cancellation.
6. Take a screenshot of the confirmation message and save it to your computer or cloud storage.
   • Email yourself this screenshot or print it as a backup record.

Pro tip: Before you cancel, check your billing date. If you're cancelling near the end of your paid period, you'll retain access until that date expires. If you're early in your billing cycle, you won't get a refund, but your access will end on the renewal date (not immediately).

If you cannot cancel through the web portal

Tactical Arbitrage's Help Center documents cancellation only through the web portal. The vendor does not list cancellation via the Apple App Store or Google Play as a supported method, even if you originally subscribed through those platforms.

If the cancel button doesn't appear or you encounter an error, contact Tactical Arbitrage support immediately. When you reach out, include your account email address, the date you signed up, and a screenshot of the issue. Keep a record of your support ticket number, the date and time you contacted them, and the name of any support representative who helped you.

Warning: If Tactical Arbitrage's support team refuses to cancel your account, escalate the complaint under New Zealand consumer law. We'll cover your legal rights in detail below.

What happens to your account after you cancel

Understanding what happens after you click "cancel" helps you plan your next steps and avoid surprises on your billing statement.

Your access timeline after cancellation

Once you confirm your cancellation, you retain full access to Tactical Arbitrage until the end of your current paid billing period. If you're on a monthly plan and cancel on the 15th of the month, you'll have access until the end of that month. If you're on an annual plan, you'll retain access until your annual renewal date.

No immediate suspension normally occurs. You don't lose access the moment you cancel - the system simply stops charging you at the next renewal date.

Your account data and settings

Your account, stored data, sourcing history, and saved product lists typically remain on Tactical Arbitrage's servers unless you request deletion. If you want to permanently delete your personal data from their systems, contact support and ask for data deletion under the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand). Keep their written confirmation of deletion.

Auto-renewal will stop after cancellation. However, check your bank or credit card statement 5-7 days after your billing date to confirm no further charges appear. If a charge does appear, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation.

Refunds and what new zealand consumer law says

This is where many consumers feel disappointed, and we want to be honest with you about what the company's policy actually allows and where your legal protections come in.

Tactical arbitrage's refund policy

Tactical Arbitrage's Help Center states that refunds are not available for weekly, monthly, or annual memberships once your subscription period has begun. In other words, the company does not offer prorated refunds or pro-rata credits if you cancel mid-cycle. You retain service until the end of your paid period, but you won't receive a refund for unused time.

This is the vendor's standard policy, and it applies regardless of whether you live in New Zealand, Australia, or the United States.

Your statutory rights under the consumer guarantees act

However, the vendor's refund policy is not the final word. The Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) 1993 is a New Zealand law that gives you powerful protections as a consumer. These protections cannot be overridden by the vendor's terms and conditions.

Under the CGA, Tactical Arbitrage must provide a service that:

• Is of acceptable quality - it must be safe, durable, and free from defects.
• Is fit for purpose - it must do what the vendor said it would do.
• Matches the description - it cannot be materially different from how it was advertised.

If Tactical Arbitrage fails on any of these counts, you have the right to request a refund, repair, or replacement - even if you've already been charged and the company's terms say "no refunds."

When you can claim a refund under the CGA

If you can show that Tactical Arbitrage is materially not as described, does not work as promised, or is fundamentally unfit for its intended purpose, you can lodge a formal complaint. For example, if the tool consistently fails to find valid arbitrage opportunities, crashes frequently, or lacks core features described on their website, those are valid grounds for escalation.

To pursue this route: preserve evidence (screenshots, error logs, transaction history), contact Tactical Arbitrage support with your claim, and ask them to refund you on the grounds that the service breaches the CGA. If they refuse, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or seek legal advice. The Dispute Resolution Services (DRS) in New Zealand can also help mediate if the amount is under NZD 15,000.

Pro tip: Document everything from day one - screenshots of broken features, error messages, and any claims the vendor made about the tool's performance. This evidence is essential if you need to claim a CGA breach.

Pricing, plans, and currency information

Tactical Arbitrage pricing varies depending on which plan and billing cycle you choose. Here's what you need to know about costs and currency.

Available plans and billing cycles

Tactical Arbitrage offers multiple plan types, including single-user basic tiers, professional multi-tool plans, and team or multi-user accounts. Each plan is available on monthly or annual billing cycles. Annual billing typically offers a discount compared to paying month-to-month.

The vendor advertises prices in US dollars (USD) only. Exact pricing is not listed here because it changes regularly and varies by plan tier, so you should check the Tactical Arbitrage website directly for current rates.

Currency conversion and bank fees

When you pay for Tactical Arbitrage, your payment is processed in USD. Your bank or payment provider will convert the charge from USD to NZD using their daily exchange rate. This conversion often includes a margin or fee on top of the official exchange rate - you may pay 2-4% more than the mid-market rate.

Check your bank statement carefully to see the final NZD amount debited from your account. This will be higher than the USD price you saw on the Tactical Arbitrage website due to currency conversion fees. If the fee seems unreasonably high, contact your bank to ask about their exchange rate policy.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling

We've helped thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate subscription cancellations, and we see the same costly errors again and again. Learning from others' mistakes will save you money and stress.

Forgetting to cancel before the billing date

The most common mistake is simply losing track of when your renewal date is. The subscription auto-renews, and you don't notice the charge until weeks later. By then, you've been charged for another full month or year.

The moment you decide to cancel, act immediately. Don't tell yourself you'll do it "tomorrow" or "next week." Open your account now and cancel. Mark your calendar or set a phone reminder for 5 days before your next renewal date as a backup safety net.

Cancelling through the wrong channel

Some users try to cancel through the Apple App Store or Google Play instead of logging into their Tactical Arbitrage account. While this may stop the app store from billing you in the future, it doesn't cancel your actual Tactical Arbitrage subscription. The company may still try to charge you directly, or you may need to cancel twice.

Always cancel directly through the Tactical Arbitrage web portal, not through third-party app stores.

Not saving proof of cancellation

You receive a confirmation message on screen, but it disappears after you close the browser. If a charge appears on your statement weeks later, you have no proof you cancelled. Take a screenshot immediately and email it to yourself.

Assuming immediate access loss

After you cancel, you still have access until the end of your billing period. Some people panic and think they've lost access right away, so they contact support unnecessarily or try to re-subscribe. You don't need to do anything - just let the clock run out and access will end automatically.

Checklist: before and after cancellation

Use this checklist to ensure you've covered every step and protected yourself from accidental charges or disputes.

Your consumer rights and what to do if tactical arbitrage refuses

You have legal protections in New Zealand that go beyond any company's terms and conditions. Know your rights and how to use them.

The consumer guarantees act protections

The Consumer Guarantees Act (1993) is the cornerstone of consumer protection in New Zealand. It applies to all goods and services, including software subscriptions like Tactical Arbitrage. Under the CGA, the vendor must ensure:

• The service is of acceptable quality - safe, durable, and fit for purpose.
• The service matches the description provided to you when you signed up.
• The service is fit for the purpose you rely on (in this case, finding arbitrage opportunities).

If Tactical Arbitrage breaches these guarantees, you can demand a refund, replacement, or repair at the vendor's expense. The company cannot use its own refund policy to override these statutory rights.

What to do if you believe the service is defective

1. Document the problem clearly.
   • Take screenshots of errors, broken features, or crashes.
   • Write down the dates and times when the issue occurred.
   • Record what the vendor promised the tool would do (screenshots from their website, marketing emails, sales pages).
2. Contact Tactical Arbitrage support with your complaint.
   • Be specific: "The tool fails to load on Mondays and Wednesdays, preventing me from sourcing." is better than "The tool is broken."
   • Request a refund on the grounds that the service breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act.
   • Keep a record of your support ticket number and the date you submitted your complaint.
3. If Tactical Arbitrage refuses, escalate to the Commerce Commission.
   • Visit comcom.govt.nz and lodge a formal complaint.
   • Attach your evidence (screenshots, support correspondence, screenshots of promises made).
   • The Commerce Commission can investigate and take action against the vendor if they find a breach.
4. Consider the Dispute Resolution Services (DRS).
   • If your claim is under NZD 15,000, you can use DRS to mediate the dispute without going to court.
   • Visit drs.co.nz to find an approved scheme.

Warning: If Tactical Arbitrage charges you after you've cancelled, treat this as a billing dispute. Contact your bank within 60 days and request a chargeback or reversal. Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Most banks will reverse the charge if you have proof of cancellation.

Comparison: is tactical arbitrage worth keeping or should you cancel?

Before you cancel, ask yourself whether the tool is genuinely not working or whether you simply need more time to master it. Use this comparison to decide.

Keep Tactical Arbitrage if...	Cancel Tactical Arbitrage if...
You're finding regular arbitrage opportunities and building inventory.	You're not finding any viable sourcing opportunities after 2-3 weeks of use.
The tool's learning curve is just steep, and you're willing to invest time in tutorials.	The interface is confusing and the vendor's support team is unhelpful or slow to respond.
You're on an annual plan and the tool is paying for itself through even modest profit margins.	A competing tool (Keepa, CamelCamelCamel, Helium 10) offers better features at a lower price.
You've scaled to a team and the multi-user plan is essential to your workflow.	You're using only a fraction of the tool's features and paying for functionality you don't need.
