Surfer's Regulations state that the fee for a prepaid annual subscription is not refundable on cancellation, and that unsubscribing from a monthly plan during a billing month still incurs that month's fee. Where a consumer withdrawal right applies, the refund is made without undue delay and no later than within 14 days. For anything else, refund questions go to support at [email protected].
Instead of cancelling you can downgrade: select Change plan on the current plan panel under Settings, Your subscription, and pick the new plan. Downgrades are automatically scheduled for the end of the billing period and show as Pending until then, with a Cancel request option. Unused limits do not roll over, switching from annual to monthly billing counts as a downgrade, and add-ons stay active and keep renewing unless cancelled separately.
Surfer states you cannot pause a subscription; the only way to stop a renewal is to cancel it entirely.
When the plan expires you lose access to Surfer's core tools, and stored work such as Content Editors, Audits and tracked Sites is completely erased. Only Billing, Settings and the reactivation page remain accessible, so export anything you need before the expiration date. There is no free plan to fall back on.
