Manage Benaughty

How to cancel benaughty in singapore: a step-by-step guide to reclaim your account

What is benaughty and why you might want to cancel

Benaughty is an online dating platform designed for casual connections and short-term dating across Singapore and beyond. The service operates on a subscription model, meaning you create a profile, browse matches, and send messages only when you maintain an active paid membership. Like most dating apps, Benaughty renews automatically every month or billing cycle unless you actively cancel beforehand.

If you've decided Benaughty isn't right for you anymore, you're not alone. Users often cancel because the match quality doesn't meet expectations, the cost doesn't justify the results, privacy concerns arise, or simply life circumstances change. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to help you cancel cleanly and understand your rights as a Singapore consumer.

How benaughty's subscription model works

When you sign up for Benaughty, you agree to automatic recurring billing. This means your payment method (credit card, debit card, or app store account) is charged every 30 days, 90 days, or whatever cycle you selected at purchase. The platform offers membership via three routes: the official website, the iOS App Store (in-app purchase), and Google Play (Android).

Full membership unlocks messaging for male users, photo albums, profile details, and chat media. VIP tiers add additional perks. Each route has its own cancellation method, so where you purchased matters when you're ready to stop paying.

Why cancelling early matters in singapore

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you against unfair contract terms and misleading advertising. However, dating apps operate in a grey area: courts have not yet clarified whether a 30-day subscription is automatically covered by statutory cooling-off rights (the right to cancel within 14 calendar days of purchase). To protect yourself, cancel proactively through the official channels Stopee recommends, gather proof of cancellation, and know which authority to contact if Benaughty continues billing you after you've cancelled.

Your cancellation options at a glance

Benaughty offers multiple cancellation routes depending on where you purchased your subscription. Here are your main options before we dive into detailed steps.

Platform-specific cancellation methods

Pro tip: Always use the web method first. It gives you immediate confirmation and prevents billing on the spot. App store cancellations sometimes lag by a billing cycle if you time them poorly.

How to cancel benaughty on the website

Cancelling through the Benaughty website is the fastest, clearest route and leaves you with a digital receipt of your cancellation request.

Step-by-step cancellation process

1. Log in to your Benaughty account at the official website using your email and password.
   • If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it before you proceed.
   • Ensure you're on the official website, not a phishing lookalike.
2. Navigate to your account settings or profile menu (usually top right of the page or in a hamburger menu).
   • Look for "Settings," "Account," or "My Profile."
3. Locate the "Billing" or "Subscription" section within settings.
   • This section shows your current plan, renewal date, and payment method.
4. Click on "Billing History" or "Manage Subscription."
   • You will see a list of all past charges and your active subscription details.
5. Find the button or link that says "Cancel Subscription," "Deactivate Subscription," or "Stop Recurring Billing."
   • This is the critical step. Do not simply delete your account; you must specifically cancel the recurring charge.
   • Warning: Some users mistake deactivating their profile (which hides it from others) for cancelling the subscription (which stops the charge). These are separate actions.
6. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
   • Benaughty may offer a discount or incentive to stay. Decline it if you've made your decision.
   • The system should display a confirmation message with a cancellation date or reference number.
7. Screenshot or photograph your confirmation screen for your records.
   • This proof is essential if you need to dispute a charge later or escalate to Singapore's enforcement authorities.

Pro tip: Check your confirmation email immediately after cancelling. Benaughty should send you a receipt or cancellation notice to the email address linked to your account. If you don't receive one within 1 hour, contact support with your cancellation screenshot.

Timing your cancellation wisely

Benaughty bills you at the start of each renewal cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of the month but your renewal date is the 20th, you typically retain access until the 20th, then lose it. Some platforms refund partial costs if you cancel mid-cycle; Benaughty does not. To minimise waste, cancel as close to your renewal date as possible, but not so late that the charge processes before you finish.

Cancelling via iOS app store or apple

If you purchased a Benaughty subscription through the Apple App Store using an in-app purchase, you must cancel through your Apple account, not through the Benaughty app itself.

Steps to cancel on iOS

1. Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Do not open the Benaughty app; you must go through the App Store.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner (usually a circle with your photo or initials).
   • This opens your Apple account menu.
3. Select "Subscriptions."
   • You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
4. Find "Benaughty" in the list and tap it.
   • The screen shows your plan, renewal date, and price.
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Remove Subscription."
   • You may be offered a retention discount. Decline it if you intend to leave.
6. Confirm the cancellation.
   • Apple will show a confirmation and inform you when your access ends (typically the current renewal date).
7. Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation.
   • Email it to yourself or save it to cloud storage for proof.

Warning: Deleting the Benaughty app does not cancel your subscription. The charge will continue until you cancel through the App Store. Many users discover this mistake too late.

Pro tip: Check your Apple account "Billing and Shipping" section a few days after cancelling to confirm no new charge appears on your next renewal date.

Cancelling via google play store

Android users who purchased Benaughty through Google Play must cancel via their Google account, similar to iOS.

Steps to cancel on android

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
   • Ensure you are logged into the Google account that made the purchase.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
   • This usually displays your Google account initial or photo.
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions."
   • Alternatively, look for "Manage subscriptions."
4. Tap "Subscriptions."
   • You will see all active subscriptions on this Google account.
5. Find "Benaughty" and tap it.
   • The screen displays your current plan, renewal date, and billing details.
6. Tap "Cancel subscription."
   • Google may display a cancellation survey asking why you are leaving. Providing feedback helps, but it's optional.
7. Confirm the cancellation.
   • Google notifies you of your cancellation date, which is usually your current renewal date.
8. Screenshot your confirmation and save it to your device or email.
   • This becomes your proof if Google Play or Benaughty disputes your cancellation later.

Pro tip: If you've logged into multiple Google accounts on your Android device, confirm which one you used to purchase Benaughty. Cancelling under the wrong account leaves your subscription active.

What happens to your account after you cancel

Cancelling a Benaughty subscription stops the recurring charge, but it does not automatically erase your profile or personal data.

Access and messaging after cancellation

Once your cancellation is processed, you lose access to paid features on your next renewal date. This means you can no longer send messages to other users, view full profiles, or use premium photo features. Your profile remains visible to other users unless you manually deactivate it. You can still log in and browse free features, but functionality is severely limited.

Pro tip: If you want other users to stop seeing your profile before your paid access ends, deactivate it separately. Go to settings and select "Deactivate" or "Hide Profile." This hides you from searches without affecting your cancellation.

Deleting your profile and personal data

Cancelling does not delete your account or remove your personal data from Benaughty's servers. To remove your profile completely, you must submit a separate account deletion request. Log in after cancelling, go to account settings, and select "Delete Account" or "Remove My Profile." Some platforms ask for a reason; provide one but know that it's optional feedback.

Data deletion typically takes 14 to 30 days according to privacy regulations like the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) in Singapore. However, some data may be retained for legal or billing purposes beyond this timeframe. If Benaughty doesn't delete your account within 30 days, contact Stopee or Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission to escalate.

Understanding benaughty's refund policy

Benaughty's official policy states that subscriptions are non-refundable once purchased, even if you delete your account mid-cycle.

Standard refund policy and your exceptions

Benaughty does not issue refunds for unused portions of your subscription. If you pay for a month on the 1st and cancel on the 15th, you forfeit the remaining 15 days of payment. This is the stated policy on their help pages.

However, two exceptions may apply to you in Singapore:

• App Store refund rules: If you purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play, those platforms have their own refund policies independent of Benaughty. Apple allows refunds within 14 to 15 days of purchase if you request them directly through your account or contact Apple Support. Google Play offers a 48-hour refund window. Stopee recommends contacting the app store directly if Benaughty refuses a refund.
• Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) cooling-off rights: Singapore law grants consumers a 14-calendar-day cooling-off period for distance contracts (purchases made online or by phone). However, dating apps operate in murky legal territory. Courts have not definitively ruled whether a 30-day subscription qualifies. If you cancel within 7 days of purchase and argue that Benaughty misled you about service quality, you have grounds to escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) for investigation.

Warning: Benaughty may claim that dating services are exempt from cooling-off rights because "you've benefited from the service" (viewed profiles, sent messages). This argument is weak. Stopee recommends disputing it via CASE if you believe you were misled.

How to request a refund in singapore

If you believe you qualify for a refund, follow this escalation path:

1. Contact Benaughty support directly via email (see contact details below) and request a refund within 14 days of purchase.
   • State your reason clearly: "I purchased a 1-month subscription on [date] and request a full refund under Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act cooling-off rights."
   • Attach a copy of your payment receipt and cancellation confirmation.
2. If Benaughty refuses within 5 working days, contact the relevant app store (Apple or Google) with the same request.
   • App stores are more responsive than dating platforms and often grant refunds for service complaints.
3. If the app store also refuses, file a complaint with CASE or IMDA.
   • CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore): caseonline.sg
   • IMDA: imda.gov.sg (media and digital services complaints)
   • Both agencies investigate unfair trading practices and may pressure Benaughty to refund your payment.

Pro tip: Always request your refund in writing (email, not chat). This creates a paper trail that regulatory authorities recognise in disputes.

Benaughty pricing in singapore

Benaughty offers multiple membership tiers and billing cycles. Below are example prices in Singapore dollars (SGD) collected from public sources. Verify current pricing on the official Benaughty website or app stores before purchasing, as rates may change or vary by promotion.

Membership plans and pricing

Note: Prices vary by platform, region, and active promotions. Stopee recommends comparing the web and app store prices before committing, as web purchases often cost less. Android pricing is typically aligned with web pricing but may differ on any given day.

Common mistakes users make when cancelling benaughty

Cancelling can feel stressful, especially if you're worried about ongoing charges. Here are the pitfalls Stopee has seen repeatedly, and how to avoid them.

Mistaking profile deactivation for cancellation

This is the most costly error. You deactivate your profile (hide it from view), thinking you've stopped billing. Meanwhile, your subscription renews and you're charged again. Your profile deactivation is cosmetic; it only hides you from searches. Cancellation is financial; it stops the recurring charge. Always cancel via Billing settings or app store subscriptions, never via profile settings alone.

Deleting the app instead of cancelling

Uninstalling the Benaughty app does nothing to stop your subscription. The charge happens through Apple, Google, or your credit card, not the app itself. Deleting the app is like ignoring a recurring invoice; the bill still arrives. Cancel first, then delete the app if you wish.

Missing your renewal date

If you cancel after your renewal date passes, you've already been charged for the next cycle. To avoid this, set a reminder 3 days before your renewal date to cancel. Benaughty notifies you via email when renewal is approaching; use this as your trigger.

Using the wrong platform to cancel

If you purchased on iOS, cancelling via the website doesn't affect your App Store subscription. You must cancel where you paid. Check your original receipt or your account settings to confirm which platform holds your subscription, then cancel there.

Pro tip: If you've forgotten which platform you used, log into each one and check your subscriptions. Apple, Google, and Benaughty's web account are all separate billing sources.

Not saving proof of cancellation

Dispute resolution requires evidence. Without a screenshot or email confirmation of your cancellation, you cannot prove you cancelled if a charge appears on your next statement. Always capture your confirmation screen before closing your cancellation window.

Checklist: ensure you've cancelled benaughty correctly

Use this checklist to confirm your cancellation is complete and protect yourself from future unwanted charges.

• I have identified which platform I used to purchase Benaughty (website, iOS, or Android).
• I have logged in and navigated to my subscription or billing settings.
• I have clicked "Cancel Subscription" or "Stop Recurring Billing" and confirmed the cancellation.
• I have received a confirmation message or email from Benaughty, Apple, or Google stating my cancellation date.
• I have screenshotted my cancellation confirmation and saved it to cloud storage or email.
• I have noted my cancellation date and renewal date so I know when my paid access will end.
• I have confirmed no new charge appears on my statement 2-3 days after my renewal date.
• If I wanted to delete my profile, I have submitted a separate account deletion request.
• If I plan to request a refund, I have contacted support within 7-14 days of purchase with my reason and proof.
• I have bookmarked Stopee (stopee.com) for future cancellation help or customer service escalation.

Escalation and contact information for benaughty

If cancellation fails, recurring charges continue, or Benaughty ignores your requests, you have formal escalation pathways in Singapore.

Contacting benaughty support

Benaughty provides customer support through multiple channels. Addresses and contact details listed on consumer complaint forums and cancellation guides include:

• Malta office address: This address has been cited in user complaint forums as a direct support contact point, though it is not officially confirmed as the primary support or cancellation address.
• British Virgin Islands P.O. Box: Listed under Together Network Limited (Benaughty's corporate entity) in various "how to cancel" guides, though this is primarily a legal/billing address.
• Bulgaria and Manchester addresses: Appear in indirect termination and cancellation service listings but are not official Benaughty support channels.
• Email support: Use the contact form on the official Benaughty website (benaughty.co.uk or your regional version) to reach the support team directly. Response times are typically 1-3 business days.

Warning: Be cautious of cancellation service providers or third-party intermediaries claiming to cancel Benaughty on your behalf. They often charge fees and may lack accountability. Stopee always recommends you cancel directly through official channels.

Escalating to singapore authorities

If Benaughty refuses to cancel, continues charging you after cancellation, or misled you about service quality, escalate to these agencies:

1. Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE): File a complaint at caseonline.sg. CASE mediates disputes and investigates unfair trading practices. They cover subscription services and can pressure platforms to refund.
2. Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA): IMDA regulates digital media and online services. If Benaughty is misleading you about features or violating Singapore's advertising standards, IMDA can intervene.
3. Your credit card issuer or bank: If Benaughty continues charging you after cancellation, dispute the charge with your bank. Most banks offer consumer protection against unauthorised recurring charges and can reverse fraudulent transactions within 90 days.

To escalate, provide these details to the authority:

• Your Benaughty account email and profile name.
• Cancellation confirmation screenshot and email.
• Copy of charges on your statement after the cancellation date.
• Any correspondence with Benaughty support (emails, chat transcripts).
• Your timeline: when you cancelled, when the next charge appeared, and how many times it recurred.

Stopee has observed that regulatory pressure from CASE or IMDA often prompts refunds that Benaughty initially refused. These agencies carry weight with dating platforms because enforcement action damages their reputation and regulatory standing.

Comparing benaughty to alternative dating platforms

If you're cancelling Benaughty because the service isn't meeting your expectations, you may be exploring alternatives. Here's how Benaughty compares to similar Singapore-friendly dating apps on cost, cancellation ease, and user experience.

Stopee's advice: if cancellation transparency matters to you, Tinder and Bumble offer slightly easier cancellation through app stores. If cost is your priority, Plenty of Fish's free tier and lower premium prices may suit you better than Benaughty.

Summary and next steps

Cancelling Benaughty in Singapore is straightforward if you follow the correct platform-specific steps and keep proof of your cancellation. Most users succeed on their first attempt using the website or app store method; postal or phone cancellations are slower and create ambiguity.

Remember: cancelling stops billing but does not delete your account or profile. Save your cancellation confirmation, check your statement after the renewal date to confirm no new charge appears, and don't hesitate to escalate to CASE or your bank if Benaughty continues charging you unlawfully.
