## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** YouTube TV does not issue refunds or credits for partial billing periods. A defective feature may qualify for a support-reviewed refund, and an approved refund ends access immediately.
- **Pausing:** Eligible direct-billed memberships can be paused for 4 weeks to 6 months after the current billing cycle. No new recordings are saved while paused, and existing recordings remain subject to expiration.
- **Downgrading:** Direct-billed subscribers can switch among available YouTube TV, Sports and Sports + News plans on the website. A cheaper switch produces a credit for the next payment; plan switching is not available in the mobile apps.
- **Account data:** Recordings expire 21 days after the paid period ends. Library preferences are saved, and Google may retain limited billing and fraud-prevention information.
