Unsubscription Rules

Unsubscription Rules for Yearly/Monthly Subscriptions

  1. When unsubscribing from resource instances, you will be billed handling fees. If the instances are in use, the consumption amount will also be billed. The used coupons will not be returned.
    • The consumption amount and unsubscription handling fee refer to the cash used.
  2. Unsubscription fees:
    • Refund amount = Actual payment – Consumption amount – Handling fee. The coupons are not returned. The actual refund amount is displayed on the unsubscription page. (If the calculated refund amount is less than 0, there will be no refund.)
    • Actual payment

      This is the actually paid amount excluding the applicable coupons.

    • Consumption amount = Actual payment x (Actual usage duration/Subscribed period) (The unsubscription calculation formula is for reference only. The actual consumption duration is measured in days, and the actual amount is subject to the amount in the bill and expenditure details.)
    • Handling fee: There is a handling fee for unsubscription, unless the free handling fee is specified in the effective framework contract for the customer.
      The handling fee depends on the actual usage duration and subscription term, as shown in Table 1.
      Table 1 Unsubscription handling fee

      Subscription Term

      Actual Usage Duration ≤ 1 Year

      1 Year < Actual Usage Duration ≤ 2 Years

      2 Years < Actual Usage Duration ≤ 3 Years

      3-year subscription

      Handling fee = 15% of your actual payment

      Handling fee = 10% of your actual payment

      Handling fee = 5% of your actual payment

      2-year subscription

      Handling fee = 15% of your actual payment

      Handling fee = 10% of your actual payment

      -

      1-year subscription

      Handling fee = 10% of your actual payment

      -

      -

      Monthly subscription

      Handling fee = 10% of your actual payment

      Example 1: The refund is shown in Figure 1.

      A customer placed and paid a monthly order for EVS at the price of $110.00 USD on August 19, 2022. The total subscription period is 32 days and the EVS would expire on September 19, 2022.

      On September 2, 2022, the customer unsubscribed from the EVS after using it for 14 days.

      Handling fee: Actual payment x 10% = $110.00 USD x 10% = $11 USD

      Consumption amount = Actual payment x (Actual usage duration/Subscribed duration) = 110.00 x (14/32) = $48.13 USD

      Refund amount = Actual payment – Consumption amount – Handling fee = $110.00 USD – $48.13 USD – $11.00 USD = $50.87 USD
