Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

Box services are generally prepaid and non-refundable, including renewals. Early termination remains subject to the full contract term. An eligible renewal refund request can be submitted to Billing, but eligibility is not guaranteed.

Case by case
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

An administrator can request a downgrade through [email protected], processed at the end of the term when eligible. Free Personal has 10 GB; files remain, but uploads stop while storage exceeds the limit.

Can I pause instead of cancel?

No Box subscription pause option is documented.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Paid cancellation takes effect at the end of the term. Organization users can lose access after deactivation and new individual accounts do not inherit old content. Permanent free-account deletion is separate and blocks email reuse in Box for 120 days.
