Cancellation stops future renewal billing but does not entitle you to a refund for any prepaid period

Services will remain active until the end of the current billing period

All data associated with cancelled services will be permanently deleted 7 days after the service expiry date. TheCloud.market will not be responsible for any data loss after this period

Cancelled domain names will enter the standard expiry, grace, and redemption periods as defined by the respective registry

Notwithstanding the general no-refund policy above, TheCloud.market will issue an account credit or, where required, a refund in the following limited circumstances:

5.1 Duplicate Payment

If you are charged more than once for the same service due to a technical error, the duplicate charge will be refunded to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days upon verification.

5.2 Service Provisioning Failure

If we are unable to provision a paid service due to a fault on our end and no alternative can be arranged, a full credit to your TheCloud.market wallet will be issued. At your request, a refund to the original payment method may be considered at our discretion.

5.3 Extended Downtime

If a service experiences unplanned downtime exceeding 99.9% of the monthly uptime SLA (as defined in our Terms of Service), you may be eligible for a pro-rated service credit. Credits are applied to your account and cannot be redeemed as cash. SLA credits must be requested within 30 days of the incident.
