A NordVPN refund and the 30-day money-back guarantee policy
NordVPN is obliged to issue its customers a full refund within 30 days of purchase and lives up to this guarantee. If you’ve decided to get a refund for your NordVPN subscription, follow the instructions below to terminate your NordVPN account for good.
Remember that if you purchased NordVPN through the Apple App Store, the Amazon App Store, or a third-party marketplace, you must contact it directly to start the refund process. NordVPN cannot grant refunds for subscriptions made through these retailers.
Can I get a refund for a NordVPN subscription?
Yes, you can receive a refund for your NordVPN subscription. Simply message our customer support team via email or live chat in the bottom corner of the page, and let them know you’d like a refund. You’ll then receive a link to your Nord Account dashboard, where you can order refunds for eligible payments. Once the refund is confirmed, you’ll receive your money back within 10 business days, depending on your payment method.
What should I know before canceling my NordVPN subscription?
If you’ve decided to cancel your NordVPN service, keep in mind the following before terminating your subscription:
- The refund policy. NordVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, meaning you can cancel your subscription within 30 days of purchase and contact our customer support team to request a refund. If you cancel after 30 days, you will no longer be eligible for a refund.
- Your billing cycle. Ensure you terminate your recurring subscription within 30 days of purchase to avoid being charged for another month or year.
- Alternative options. Contact our customer support team if you are experiencing technical issues with your NordVPN service. We may be able to resolve the problem, which will save you the trouble of looking for another VPN.
- Data backup. If you have a NordVPN bundle and store your data in NordLocker or NordPass, back it up. When you terminate your Nord Account, accessing your files and/or passwords might become inconvenient due to the limited features of a downgraded plan.
