GoDaddy - REFUND POLICY
We know refund policies can feel overwhelming at times. This page helps you understand whether your product can be refunded, how long you have to request a refund, and what might prevent one.
1. Refunds at a GlanceProducts can be cancelled at any time, but refunds are only issued if requested within the applicable refund period, which is measured from the date of purchase or the date a renewal is processed. Refund eligibility depends on the product type, plan term, usage, and timing, and some products are not refundable under any circumstances. Most products follow the Standard Refund Windows in Section 2. Products with special rules, exceptions, or conditions are listed in Section 3.
Please note:
- Refunds must be requested before your account is closed. Once an account is closed, refunds are no longer available, even if the product would otherwise qualify.
- Brazilian customers may request refunds for eligible products only within 7 days (168 hours) from the date of the transaction, as required by local law.
If you’re unsure whether your purchase qualifies for a refund, contact GoDaddy Customer Care before closing your account. Our team can help explain your options based on your product, timing, and usage.
