NordVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you're within that window you can get a full refund. Even after 30 days, you can stop auto-renewal so you won't be charged again when your plan expires.

Official account or cancellation path: NordVPN

Log in to your Nord Account

Go to my.nordaccount.com and sign in with your NordVPN credentials. Click on "Services" or navigate to the NordVPN section.

Go to Subscription settings

Find your NordVPN subscription and click "Change plan" or navigate to the billing/subscription section. Look for "Auto-renewal" settings.

Turn off auto-renewal

Click "Cancel automatic payments" or toggle off auto-renewal. This prevents future charges. Your VPN access continues until your current plan expires.

If you're within 30 days of purchase, skip this step and go straight to support for a full refund instead.
