Cancel Tomplay: The Right Way
How to cancel tomplay in south africa: your complete guide to stopping auto-renewal and protecting your rights
What is tomplay and why you might want to cancel
Tomplay is an interactive music platform that pairs sheet music with professional backing tracks and practice tools to help you learn and perform across multiple instruments. If you've subscribed in South Africa and now find you're not using the service, or the cost no longer fits your budget, understanding how to cancel properly protects you from unexpected charges.
How tomplay works
The service delivers annotated sheet music combined with tempo control, looping, and play-along features through your web browser or mobile apps. You can access Tomplay via its website, the Apple App Store, or Google Play Store. Subscriptions auto-renew each month or year unless you actively cancel them, which is why knowing the cancellation process matters.
Why cancellation can feel confusing
Tomplay operates differently depending on where you bought your subscription. If you subscribed through the Tomplay website, you cancel directly in your account. If you purchased through Apple or Google, your billing and cancellation happen through those platforms, not through Tomplay itself. At Stopee, we've helped thousands of consumers navigate exactly this confusion, so you're not alone in finding it frustrating.

These prices are current on the South African App Store but may vary if you access Tomplay through the web platform. If your pricing differs significantly, contact Tomplay directly to confirm the amount you're being charged.
How to cancel tomplay on the website
If you subscribed through the Tomplay website or web app, follow these steps to stop auto-renewal and prevent future charges.

- If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page to reset it.
- Navigate to your account menu (usually found at the top right of the screen or under a profile icon).
- Select "My Account" or "Account Settings" depending on the layout you see.

- Click "Manage My Subscription" and locate the cancellation option.

What happens after website cancellation
Once you complete cancellation on the Tomplay website, auto-renewal stops immediately. You keep full access to Tomplay until the end of your current billing period. After that date, your account becomes inactive and you lose access to the premium features. No further charges will be taken from your bank account or payment method.
How to cancel tomplay on apple or google
If you purchased your Tomplay subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that platform, not through Tomplay itself. This is because Apple and Google handle all billing for in-app purchases.

What happens after you cancel tomplay
Understanding what changes when you cancel helps you plan your practice schedule and avoid surprises.
Your access and timeline
When you cancel, whether through the website or app store, you keep using Tomplay until the end of your current billing period. If you're on a monthly plan that renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 5th, you still have access through the 15th. After the billing period ends, you lose access to premium features and cannot use the backing tracks or advanced practice tools.
Billing and charges
No further automatic charges will be taken once you cancel successfully. If you cancelled before the renewal date, you won't see a charge on your next statement. Check your bank or card statement for a few days after cancellation to confirm the charge stops. If a charge appears after you cancelled, Stopee recommends contacting your payment provider and Tomplay support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email.
Your account and data
Tomplay keeps your account information, login details, and purchase history according to its terms and South African data protection law. If you want to delete your account entirely, you'll need to contact Tomplay support separately; cancelling the subscription alone does not delete your personal data. Stopee suggests keeping your cancellation confirmation email in case you need to dispute account data retention later.
Will you get a refund from tomplay
Refunds are where many subscribers feel let down, but South African law gives you more protection than Tomplay's standard policy suggests.
Tomplay's standard refund policy
Tomplay's published terms state that payments are final and non-refundable. The service offers no pro-rata refunds for unused time if you cancel mid-month or mid-year. This is a common policy for music streaming and practice platforms, but it's not the whole story.
The 14-day cooling-off period
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act gives you a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you purchase a subscription. During this window, you can withdraw from the purchase and receive a full refund if you haven't accessed the paid features of the service. This applies to Tomplay subscriptions, regardless of what Tomplay's terms say.
To claim this refund, you must contact Tomplay in writing (email is acceptable) within 14 days of your purchase, state that you're exercising your cooling-off right, and confirm you haven't meaningfully used the service. Stopee has seen consumers successfully claim refunds under this protection when Tomplay initially refused.
Refunds for app store purchases
If you bought your Tomplay subscription through Apple or Google, those platforms have their own refund policies that may be more generous than Tomplay's. Apple typically allows refunds up to 14 days from purchase if you request them directly through your Apple ID. Google Play has a 48-hour refund window for app charges. Contact Apple or Google directly; they handle the refund, not Tomplay.
Annual subscriptions and free trials
If you subscribed to the yearly plan with a 14-day free trial, you must cancel during the trial period to avoid being charged. Once the trial ends and the annual charge is processed, refunds become much harder to obtain. Stopee strongly recommends setting a phone reminder for day 12 of any free trial so you don't accidentally get billed.
Your consumer rights in south africa
You have legal protections when you cancel Tomplay, and knowing them puts power back in your hands.
The consumer protection act
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (Act 68 of 2008) protects you when you enter into agreements with companies like Tomplay, even though Tomplay is based in Switzerland. The law guarantees your right to fair contract terms, clear information about pricing and cancellation, and protection against unfair commercial practices.
Key protections include the right to cancel within 14 days without penalty (the cooling-off period mentioned above), the right to clear written information about the service and its cost, and protection against auto-renewal if you weren't explicitly informed and didn't clearly consent. If Tomplay charged you without making cancellation obvious, you may have grounds to demand a refund.
Escalation with the national consumer commission
If Tomplay refuses to cancel your subscription or won't refund you after you've exercised your cooling-off right, you can escalate the complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC investigates unfair practices and can order companies to comply with consumer law. You don't need a lawyer; you can lodge a complaint yourself at complaints.ncc.org.za or by contacting the NCC directly.
Stopee's research shows that companies like Tomplay often cooperate quickly when the NCC becomes involved, especially over billing disputes. Keep your cancellation confirmation, payment records, and all correspondence with Tomplay when you escalate.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling Tomplay feels straightforward until something goes wrong, leaving you frustrated and still paying.
Mistake 1: cancelling the app instead of the subscription
Deleting the Tomplay app from your phone or tablet does NOT cancel your subscription. App deletion simply removes the software; your subscription continues and your payment method keeps getting charged. You must cancel through Settings (iOS) or Google Play (Android), not by deleting the app. At Stopee, we've heard from dozens of subscribers who discovered this the hard way when a charge appeared months later.
Mistake 2: not confirming cancellation in writing
If you cancel through the Tomplay website, take a screenshot of the confirmation message and save the confirmation email. If you're cancelling through Apple or Google and don't receive a confirmation email within a few minutes, contact that platform's support to confirm the cancellation went through. Without proof, you have no leverage if Tomplay charges you again and claims you never cancelled.
Mistake 3: confusing the billing date with the access end date
Your subscription renews on a specific date each month or year (the date you first subscribed). If you cancel on the 20th of the month but your renewal date is the 25th, you still have access until the 25th, but no charge will appear after that. Many subscribers expect to lose access immediately upon cancelling; this isn't how it works.
Mistake 4: forgetting to cancel during a free trial
Free trials for Tomplay (especially the 14-day trial on annual plans) auto-convert to paid subscriptions if you don't cancel before the trial ends. Set a phone alarm or calendar reminder for day 12 of any trial. Stopee recommends this for all free trials across all services, not just Tomplay.
Your cancellation checklist
Before you cancel, work through this checklist to avoid surprises and protect your rights.
| Task | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|

| Follow the correct cancellation steps for your platform | ☐ | Website, Apple, or Google (see steps above) |
| Save your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot | ☐ | Do this within 24 hours of cancelling |
| Check your bank or card statement 3-5 days later for any charge | ☐ | If a charge appears, contact your payment provider and Tomplay immediately |

Contact information for tomplay
If you need to reach Tomplay after cancelling or have a billing dispute, here is where to contact them.
Tomplay corporate addresses
Tomplay (operated by Tombooks SA) lists these official addresses in its terms and corporate records. For account and cancellation issues, email is usually the fastest route.
Primary address: Tombooks SA, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Secondary address: Pully, Switzerland (listed in corporate directories).
For billing disputes or if you're escalating a cancellation issue, send a formal email to Tomplay's support team referencing your account email, the subscription plan you're cancelling, and your cancellation confirmation. Include "Cancellation Dispute" or "Refund Request" in the subject line. Keep a copy of all correspondence.
Why choosing to cancel matters, and how stopee helps
Cancelling a subscription you no longer use isn't just about saving money this month; it's about taking control of your finances and preventing recurring charges that sneak up on you. Many South Africans let subscriptions continue for months or years after they stop using them, costing thousands of rands annually.
Stopping Tomplay is the right choice if you've found a better practice tool, your budget has shifted, or you're simply not using the backing tracks and annotation features regularly enough to justify the cost. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unnecessary subscriptions and recover refunds they didn't know they could claim.
When you're ready to cancel Tomplay, follow the platform-specific steps in this guide, save your confirmation, and don't hesitate to escalate to the National Consumer Commission if Tomplay refuses to honor your cancellation. Your rights in South Africa are stronger than many companies acknowledge, and Stopee stands ready to remind you of them. Take control of your subscriptions today.
