How to cancel NordPass and get a refund within the money-back window

Step 1: find where you paid

Where you bought NordPass decides how you cancel and who handles a refund. Nord's Subscription Terms say cancellation and refunds for third-party purchases follow that third party's terms [3].

• Uninstalling the app does not cancel a Google Play subscription [6].
• On an Apple device, no Cancel button or a red expiration message means the subscription is already cancelled [5].

Step 2: how the 30-day money-back guarantee works

For personal plans bought directly, NordPass says you can claim a refund by cancelling within 30 days following the initial purchase. The guarantee covers only the first purchase: once the subscription renews it no longer qualifies under this policy, unless local law says otherwise. The refund goes back to the payment method you used [2].

Cancelling and refunding are separate steps. NordPass's cancellation article says cancelling does not automatically result in a refund; you review the money-back policy and then contact customer support [1].

Exceptions and exclusions: the Subscription Terms say a renewed subscription longer than one month bought in Germany, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom can get a full refund within 30 days of the renewal charge, or a pro rata refund after that [3]. Business customers get 14 days, not 30 [4]. If you bought a 2-year plan during the gift promotion, requesting a refund within 30 days makes you ineligible for the 3 extra months [7].

Step 3: cancel before the renewal charge, not on the renewal date

For plans other than monthly, Nord charges the renewal 14 days before the new period starts, sends a reminder with the current renewal price 30 days before that charge, and may run a zero or nominal card check (up to 1 USD, reversed) up to 40 days before renewal [3].

Example: if your plan renews on 1 March, the charge lands around 15 February and the reminder arrives around 16 January. Cancel auto-renewal before mid-February to avoid the charge. After a charge on a direct purchase, the 30-day guarantee no longer applies because it covers only the initial purchase [2].

What changes when Premium ends

NordPass Free allows one active session on one device; Premium lets you stay logged in on unlimited devices at once. NordPass lists Authenticator, Data Breach Scanner, Password Health, Email Masking, Secure Item Sharing, File Attachments and Emergency Access as Premium security features [8]. Both Free and paid users can install the apps and extension on as many devices as they like, but only one session stays active on Free [8].

We did not find a NordPass page explaining exactly how existing shared items, attachments or email masks behave after a downgrade, so do the checklist below while Premium is still active rather than relying on access afterwards.

Pre-cancel checklist: do these first

• Export the vault: in the desktop app or Web Vault, open Settings (cog icon), go to Import and Export, select Export, enter your Master Password and save the CSV file [9].
• Never send the export file by email or another untrusted channel [9], and delete it once your new manager has imported it.
• Passkeys do not move: NordPass says there is no option to import or export NordPass passkeys to other password managers [10]. Sign in to each site that uses a NordPass passkey and add a new passkey or password in your next manager.
• Move 2FA codes: if NordPass Authenticator holds your one-time codes, set up two-factor authentication again in your new authenticator through each site's security settings before access changes.
• Save file attachments and note which email masks forward to accounts you still use.
• Then cancel auto-renewal, and request a refund from support if you are within 30 days of the initial purchase [1] [2].
• Keep the cancellation confirmation and any support ticket number.
