You have an automatically renewing subscription if you have subscribed to it directly with us, prepaid it at retail or e-commerce outlets, or activated the subscription renewal in your account or by contacting us.
Pre-paid subscriptions purchased at retail or e-commerce outlets are recurring subscriptions that automatically renew after the initial term you have pre-paid at retail or e-commerce outlets. For their activation and use, you need to sign up online and save your billing details in your account. No charges occur before the day you are due to be charged for the subscription renewal. If you don’t wish to renew, cancel the renewal in your account at any time before the day on which you are due to be charged.
How does it work?
Once you subscribe, the payment method that you stored in your account will be charged to renew your subscription at the applicable monthly or annual renewal price unless you cancel the subscription renewal before the day on which you are due to be charged in your account or by contacting us. For annual subscriptions, we send you an email with the renewal price, the billing date, and related details before any charge occurs so that you know it is coming. You can stop your subscription from automatically renewing at any time before the day you are due to be charged by signing in to your Avast account or by contacting us. If you want to cancel your subscription and get a refund, visit our Avast Cancellation and Refund Policy to learn more about your contract cancellation and refund rights and for exceptions.
