Cancel Universe: The Right Way
How to cancel universe and claim your refund in singapore
Understanding universe and why you might cancel
Universe is a website-building and event ticketing platform that lets you create mobile-optimized sites, sell tickets, and manage subscriptions. Many users subscribe to access pro features like custom domains, analytics tracking, and branded hosting.
If you no longer need these tools or want to stop recurring charges, cancelling is straightforward-but the method depends on where you bought your subscription. At Stopee, we help thousands of users navigate this process each month, and we've seen common mistakes that cost people money. Let's walk through your options.
When cancellation makes sense
You might cancel if you've finished building your site, prefer a different platform, or want to reduce subscription costs. Some users cancel after their free trial ends to avoid the first charge. Others realise the pro features aren't delivering value.
Whatever your reason, knowing the exact steps and your consumer rights in Singapore puts you in control.
Universe pricing and plan details
Universe offers monthly subscriptions and one-time purchases, all charged in Singapore dollars (SGD).
| Plan or add-on | Price (SGD) | Billing period | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Universe Pro (Monthly) | S$34.98 | Monthly | Full Pro access, 1 website |
| .COM domain registration | S$4.48 | One-time purchase | Custom .com domain |
| Track Views add-on | S$3.98 | One-time purchase | Analytics and view tracking |
| Hide Universe branding | S$3.98 | One-time purchase | Remove Universe logo from site |
How charges appear on your bill
Universe charges appear under the app or payment processor you used. If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, you'll see charges from Apple. If you used Google Play, Google handles the billing. Web purchases may appear as "Universe" or "Universe Apps Limited" on your statement.
Always check your receipt or app store history to confirm the exact amount and date. This helps you dispute any incorrect charges later if needed.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and Unfair Contract Terms Act protect you when buying digital services like Universe.
What you're protected against
Your rights cover misleading claims about features, unfair contract terms that heavily favour the company, and hidden charges not clearly disclosed upfront. If Universe's cancellation policy is deliberately obscured or the service doesn't match its description, you have grounds to challenge it.
Stopee recommends documenting what the product promised versus what you received. Screenshots of feature descriptions or promises help if you need to escalate a dispute.
Enforcement and escalation
If Universe refuses to process your cancellation or wrongly charges you after cancelling, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE mediates disputes at no cost and has helped thousands resolve billing issues with digital service providers.
In most cases, CASE involvement prompts quick refunds. If mediation fails, you can pursue a small claims court action for amounts under SGD 10,000.
How to cancel universe: step-by-step by platform
Your cancellation method depends on where you bought your subscription-Apple App Store, Google Play, or Universe's website.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed through an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's settings.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top, then select "Subscriptions".
- Find Universe in the list and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or toggle off auto-renewal.
- Alternatively, visit reportaproblem.apple.com from any device.
- Sign in with your Apple ID.
- Search for the Universe charge.
- Select "Report a Problem" and choose "Cancel this subscription".
- Confirm cancellation at least 24 hours before your next billing date.
- Apple will send a confirmation email.
- Your access continues until the current paid period ends.
Warning: Deleting the Universe app from your phone does not cancel the subscription. You must complete the steps above or the charge will renew automatically.
Cancel via google play (Android)
Android subscriptions are managed through your Google Play account, not inside the Universe app.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or visit play.google.com.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions", then "Subscriptions".
- Find Universe and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Choose a reason (optional) and confirm.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date.
- Google will send confirmation to your registered email.
- Your subscription access ends at the close of the current billing period.
Pro tip: If you're unsure of your next billing date, Google Play shows it clearly in the subscription details. Set a phone reminder for 24 hours before to cancel on time.
Cancel web or direct subscriptions
If you purchased directly on Universe's website or through a web link (not via App Store or Google Play), the cancellation method differs.
- Contact Universe support directly.
- Email support@universeapps.limited with your request to cancel.
- Include your account email and the date your subscription renews.
- Explain clearly: "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately" or "effective at the end of the current billing period".
- Expect a response within 2-3 business days.
- Universe will confirm cancellation in writing.
- Keep this email as proof of your cancellation request.
- Verify the cancellation worked by checking your next billing date.
- Log into your Universe account and confirm auto-renewal is off.
- If you're still charged after your requested cancellation date, escalate to Stopee or CASE immediately.
Warning: Web subscriptions do not sync with app stores. Cancelling on the App Store will not cancel a web subscription, and vice versa. If you've purchased via both channels, you must cancel each separately.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation doesn't mean instant loss of access. Here's the realistic timeline and what to expect.
Your access and data
Once you cancel, you retain full access to your website, event tickets, and account data until your current paid billing period ends. If you paid for January and cancel on 15 January, you can still use all pro features through 31 January.
After the paid period expires, your site reverts to free-tier features. Your content stays intact unless you deliberately delete it. Cancellation does not automatically wipe your site, contacts, or event data.
Pro tip: If you might return to Universe later, export or back up your site content before the free period ends. Use your account settings to download a backup or take screenshots of your site.
When the charge stops
Universe will not charge you again after the current billing cycle closes. If you subscribed on the 15th and renews monthly, the final charge occurred on your cancellation date, and the next charge is blocked.
If a charge appears after cancellation, contact Universe support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email. Request a refund and escalate to CASE if Universe refuses.
Refunds and what you can recover
Refund eligibility depends on what you bought, when you bought it, and which platform processed the payment.
Refunds for in-app subscriptions
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, their refund policies apply-not Universe's. Both platforms allow refund requests within a set window.
- Apple: You can request a refund up to 24 hours after purchase or, in some cases, up to 90 days. Request refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Google Play: Allows refunds within 48 hours of purchase for most apps and subscriptions.
If you purchased within the refund window, submit the request immediately. Both Apple and Google process approved refunds within 3-5 business days back to your original payment method.
Pro tip: If Apple or Google denies your refund request, you can appeal. Cite the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and explain the service didn't match its description. Stopee has helped users overturn denials this way.
Refunds for web subscriptions
Universe's standard terms state web-based purchases are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. However, this clause is not absolute under Singapore law. If the service failed to deliver promised features or was unavailable, you may have grounds for a refund claim.
Contact Universe at support@universeapps.limited requesting a refund and explaining why the service failed to meet its description. Reference the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act in your email. Many companies refund once they understand consumer protections apply.
Refunds for event tickets and add-ons
Ticket refund policies are set by the event organizer, not Universe. If the organizer hasn't published a refund policy, buyers can request a refund if they contact the organizer at least 24 hours before the event starts.
One-time purchases like .COM domains or analytics add-ons are typically non-refundable but cancellable. If you paid for a domain and don't need it, contact support to discuss options.
Common mistakes when cancelling universe
Many users think they've cancelled but haven't, or miss refund deadlines. We've seen this happen repeatedly, and it costs money unnecessarily.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
This is the most common error. Removing the Universe app from your phone does nothing to stop recurring charges. Millions of users fall into this trap every month across all platforms.
The only way to stop charges is to cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play, or by emailing Universe support. Deleting the app is just tidying your phone-it's not a cancellation.
Mistake 2: cancelling in one place when you subscribed in another
If you subscribed via the App Store, cancelling on Google Play won't work. If you purchased on the website and try to cancel through your iPhone settings, nothing happens.
Track where you signed up. Check your email receipts or bank statements. Then cancel in that exact location. Stopee recommends checking your payment method to determine the platform.
Mistake 3: assuming you'll see a refund automatically
Cancellation stops future charges but doesn't automatically trigger a refund for the current billing period. You must request a refund separately, and you must act within the refund window (48 hours for Google Play, up to 90 days for Apple, varies for web).
Don't assume the money is coming back. Check your refund status in the app store, or email Universe asking for refund status.
Mistake 4: not keeping cancellation confirmation
If Universe disputes your cancellation claim later or charges you again, you need proof you cancelled. Screenshot your Apple Settings or Google Play confirmation screen. Save any confirmation emails from Universe.
This evidence is vital if you escalate to CASE or dispute the charge with your bank.
Checklist for safe cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
| Step | Action | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Identify where you subscribed (App Store, Google Play, or web) | ☐ |
| 2 | Note your next billing date from your receipt or app store | ☐ |
| 3 | Cancel through the correct platform at least 24 hours before the billing date | ☐ |
| 4 | Take a screenshot or save confirmation email as proof | ☐ |
| 5 | If eligible for a refund, submit within 48 hours (Google Play) or up to 90 days (Apple) | ☐ |
| 6 | Monitor your bank statement for the next billing date to confirm no charge appears | ☐ |
Should you cancel or pause instead
Before you cancel, ask yourself if a pause or downgrade makes sense.
When to keep your subscription
If you use your Universe site frequently or plan to sell tickets soon, the pro features justify the S$34.98 monthly cost. You get custom domains, full branding control, and analytics-all valuable if you're serious about your web presence.
When to cancel
If you haven't logged in for months or you've decided Universe isn't your platform, cancellation is the right choice. There's no shame in choosing a tool that works better for your needs.
Stopee recommends pausing or cancelling if any of these apply: you're not using the features, a competitor offers better value, or the monthly charge no longer fits your budget.
