## Cancel in a web browser

> The public dashboard overview has no Cancel subscription control.

1. **Send written non-renewal notice** Email info@buildwithfern.com at least 30 days before the current Subscription Period ends. The cover page sets that period at 12 months and the invoice period annually. The customer notice address is the main email on the account.
2. **Do not treat Unpublish as cancellation** Dashboard docs describe Unpublish a site as taking a site offline without deleting it. That is not documented as stopping billing.

> **Warning:** Give at least 30 days' written notice. A late notice can allow another 12-month renewal under the cover page.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** The public cover-page terms do not publish a general refund. Fees follow the pricing page and the annual invoice period.
- **Pausing:** No subscription pause option is documented on the pricing page, cover-page terms or dashboard overview.
- **Downgrading:** Hobby remains $0 per month. The public dashboard docs do not describe a self-serve control that stops Team billing. Non-renewal is written notice to info@buildwithfern.com.
- **Account data:** Unpublish takes a site offline without deleting it. The public terms and dashboard docs do not state a numbered deletion window after non-renewal.

## At a glance
