How to Cancel a VPN Subscription During a Money-Back Guarantee Period
If you are like most people, then there is a good chance that you bought your VPN subscription because it came with a 30-day money-back guarantee. For this reason alone canceling mid-way through the plan could be beneficial to some users as they can simply sign up for another month with a different service if their trial does not go according to plan.
Most VPN providers enable users to cancel at any point during the refund period. Every way of canceling a plan is different depending on the VPN service but most VPN services require you to email the customer service team, asking to cancel the plan.
You’ll usually receive a confirmation email, and have your plan ended. Then, you’ll receive a full refund (or a partial refund if your money-back guarantee was pro-rata based) up to a month later.
How to Cancel a VPN Subscription Midway through a Plan
It may also be the case that you bought your VPN subscription and it is about halfway through (i.e. you purchased a year-long policy and want to end it at six months). If this is the case, then canceling becomes slightly more complicated as most providers won’t allow users to cancel their plan midway during a given period of time and receive a refund.
In most cases, you’ll be able to cancel your plan so that it doesn’t auto-renew; however, the plan will not terminate until the end of the subscription period. This means you won’t get your money back and you will still have access to the VPN for the full period you paid for.
Why You Might Want to Cancel a VPN Subscription
So now that you know how to cancel your VPN subscription, why would you want to?
There are a number of reasons as to why people may not be satisfied with their current service and in many cases, it is because they have found something better. Below are some of the main reasons users might want to consider canceling their existing VPN plan:
- They find that the VPN doesn’t offer high-quality security and privacy features and they want more online protection. If you feel this way about your current VPN service then it is definitely time to upgrade.
- The VPN provider’s IP addresses have been blacklisted by streaming sites and services. This means that if you tried connecting to a site such as Netflix, you will be banned because the IP address linked to the VPN has been blacklisted.
- The speed isn’t good enough anymore. A lot of VPN services have a slow connection speed because they offer so many different servers. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it will allow you to access blocked content from all over the world, but if your service is too slow then this might be an issue for you.
Hopefully, now you know how to cancel a VPN subscription plan and what to look out for when you are considering canceling your subscription.
