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.
