2.2 The order process is conducted by online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.
2.3. If you have not canceled auto-renewal, the funds will be charged from your account automatically and the AdGuard DNS subscription will be renewed or extended. If you cancel auto-renewal before the AdGuard DNS subscription expires, you will receive an email notification with the complete information regarding the terms of its renewal to the email address you specified during the initial purchase.

We grant our customers a possibility to return 100% of funds they spent on AdGuard DNS Yearly subscriptions purchased from https://adguard-dns.io (for subscriptions purchased elsewhere, look for the refund policy of that particular reseller). Important: Monthly subscriptions are not refunded. For Yearly subscriptions we have a 30-day money-back-guarantee. All refund requests made within 30 days since the Yearly subscription purchase are satisfied no matter what the reason is.
The subscription in question becomes blocked the moment the refund is issued. After 30 days, all requests are considered individually and the decision whether to issue a refund is left up to Adguard Software Ltd. We do not grant partial refunds for subscription upgrades and renewals. Each case of partial refund request is discussed separately between Customer and Support, and satisfied only upon mutual agreement. To get a refund for a subscription purchased on the official website, you need to contact support at support@adguard.com. Processing time will depend on the payment method you have chosen and usually takes up to 5-10 business days.
