    Note a trial subscription must be cancelled up to 24 hours before it expires in order to not be charged/renewed.

    A free trial can only be purchased ONCE per Apple/Google ID as per their terms.

    Also remember – deactivating your Veil account does not automatically cancel any subscriptions. You must follow the below instructions as they are handled independently by Apple/Google.

    Once cancelled as below, your Veil app will still show you as a gold member until the expiry date of the subscription or trial.

    1. On your iPhone, go to Settings → [your name] → iTunes & App Store
    2. Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen

    A free trial can only be purchased ONCE per Apple/Google ID as per their terms.

    We have no way to detect if your Apple/Google ID has already bought a Free trial. The payment dialogue to confirm payment comes directly from Apple/Google and clearly states if a free trial is eligible and the price of the product.

    Please ensure you read this correctly before confirming the purchase – we cannot be held responsible for this being overlooked.

    Note a trial subscription must be cancelled up to 24 hours before it expires in order to not be charged/renewed.
