Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

ExpressVPN's terms document a 30-day money-back guarantee for an eligible initial purchase. Renewals, prepaid codes and app-store purchases have separate limits, and promotion terms can override the standard guarantee.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Service remains active through the last day of the paid term. ExpressVPN does not provide a permanent free VPN tier afterward.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No subscription-billing pause is documented in ExpressVPN's official account and cancellation pages.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancellation does not delete the ExpressVPN account. Account deletion is separate and permanent; active users can choose deletion now or after expiry. Some legal and transaction records can be retained.
