## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Fathom states that subscription payments are not refundable for ordinary cancellation, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
- **Pausing:** Fathom does not offer a subscription pause or suspension option. A cancelled subscription can be reactivated during the retention window.
- **Downgrading:** Fathom has no free plan. Cancelled paid access ends after the current billing period, though cancellation can be undone before that date and the account can be restored during the documented retention window.
- **Account data:** After the paid term ends, Fathom queues sites and data for deletion for up to 60 days. Resubscribing within that window restores them. Deleting the account is a separate immediate and permanent action.
