Norton offers a 60-day money back guarantee on annual subscriptions and a 14-day refund window on monthly subscriptions for initial purchases. Monthly subscription renewals are not eligible for refund. Refunds are issued to your original payment method within a few days of approval.

How returns work

To return or cancel a Norton subscription, you must contact Norton online to submit a cancellation and refund request. Once your request is approved, you will need to uninstall and delete all copies of the software from your devices. Processing takes a few days.

Exclusions and restrictions

Monthly subscription renewals cannot be refunded. Services that have already been redeemed are not eligible for refund unless the services have not yet been used. Different return windows apply by region and subscription type: annual subscriptions have a 60-day window, while monthly subscriptions have a 14-day window for initial purchases. Customers in Germany, Netherlands, and the UK may receive pro-rated refunds after annual renewal expiration, and customers in Quebec may receive pro-rated refunds after monthly subscription expiration.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to the original payment method you used for your purchase. You will receive either a full refund or a pro-rated refund depending on your subscription type and location. Processing typically takes a few days after your request is approved.
