When will auto-renewal payments be taken?
Auto-renewals will be processed at the end of the term of your services. You will want to ensure you have a valid payment method in place otherwise you will risk your services going offline.
Will I be reminded before payment is taken?
Yes, we will send reminders for your renewals up to 6 weeks before the payment is taken. You can renew them manually if you would prefer or allow them to renew using your set payment method at the end of your services term.
What can I do if a domain/hosting plan that is no longer required has been automatically renewed?
If you have received notification of an auto-renewal for a service that is no longer required – you can disable auto-renewal from your LCN account before the renewal is made.
If you have missed the notification emails and an unwanted service has been automatically renewed – for hosting services; we can provide a full refund if you request cancellation of the order within 30 days.
For domain renewals; If your domain is registered to an individual you will need to request cancellation of the renewal and respond to the cancellation email that our support team will provide within 14 days of the order.
If your request to cancel a domain name auto-renewal is made or confirmed outside of this 14-day window we will not be able to provide a refund for the domain renewal costs.
For a domain registered to a business, we will be unable to provide a refund. This is due to businesses not being covered by the same legislation as an individual.
This will be decided by your domain owner details and by the content being displayed on the website of your domain.
