How do Avast subscriptions work?

Avast products are sold as continuous subscriptions. This means that your subscription renews at the end of each billing cycle unless you manually cancel it. Before payment is taken, you receive a notification email from Avast, which informs you about the upcoming charge and contains instructions to cancel your subscription. The date of payment varies according to your purchased subscription type:

• 1, 2, and 3-year subscriptions: Your billing date can be up to 35 days before the start of the next subscription period (for another 1 year).
• Monthly subscriptions: Your billing date is 7 days before the expiration date for Digital River, 1 day before the expiration date for 2Checkout, and the final day of your subscription for Softline and Cleverbridge.
• Avast trial subscriptions:: Your billing date is the final day of your free-trial period.

You can see a list of your current Avast subscriptions in your Avast Account.

Why was I charged for a free-trial version of an Avast product?

When you activate a free-trial version of an Avast product, you are sometimes prompted to enter payment details. This is called a pre-authorized trial. When the pre-authorized trial ends, you are charged the price of a 1-year subscription for the relevant product. If you cancel your subscription before the pre-authorized trial ends, you are not charged. Before payment is taken, you receive a notification email from Avast, which informs you about the upcoming charge and contains instructions to cancel your subscription.
