Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Shortwave's help center offers a full refund within 14 days of payment via [email protected]. After 14 days, refunds are not available, but access continues through the end of the billing period. Removing a seat gives a prorated credit on the next cycle. The terms also say payments are final and non-refundable unless Shortwave determines otherwise.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Cancel plan moves the team to the free plan at the end of the billing period. Paid features such as full-history search and AI-assisted search drop then. You can also Update plan to a different paid plan. Removing a seat credits the next cycle.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No subscription pause option is documented. Cancel and stay on the free plan through and after the paid period.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Account deletion is separate from cancelling the plan. Delete account is under Settings, Support (or Support on iOS and Android). Deletion does not affect messages stored in Gmail. Signing up again later uses Google sign-in.
