This cancellation policy applies to all premium Services EXCEPT DOMAINS. Please see "Domain Terms of Service" below for more information. To cancel or downgrade Your premium Services (or any subscription You may have with Us), please contact us at: [email protected].
Refund Policy
Oxxy provides both free and paid services to Users. If You are dissatisfied with Your service for any reason, You may request cancellation of the service within fourteen (14) days from activation of Your account relating to the Services and You will receive a refund within fourteen (14) days from the day on which We are duly informed of Your request to cancel the said service. The money-back guarantee does NOT apply to domain name registration and other domain name services. If You select to purchase Your own domain name, this purchase is non-refundable and it will remain effective until the duration of the domain term has expired.
However, We can assist You in transferring or pointing Your domain to the host of Your choice. The amount of Your refund will be the price of the paid Service You purchased from Oxxy minus domain name registration fees and overage charges.
In case of an upgrade from one (paid) Subscription to another, the price of the upgraded Subscription shall be minus any amounts previously paid for relevant unused periods that will be covered by the upgraded Subscription (for example, if a User has paid for a 12 month period ('Y' X 12) and on the 7th (paid-up) month decides to upgrade the Subscription to a Subscription costing more per year ('Z' X 12), the amount that will be due for the upgraded Subscription, shall be on a pro rata basis 'Z' X 12' minus 'Y' X 5' [5 being the number of months previously paid for in connection with the lower priced subscription]). This refund policy is not intended to replace any more favourable statutory rights You may enjoy as a consumer under applicable Maltese or European legislation as may be in force now or in the future.
Repeated cancellation of and re-registration to any of the Services (including, in particular, those that are free of charge) without a reason which in Oxxy's sole discretion appears to be valid, shall be construed as an act of bad faith on Your part and Oxxy retains the right to take all appropriate measures against You for any such acts (including banning You from using the Site and/or Services on a temporary or permanent basis). Please read Our Privacy Policy for information regarding the ways in which We may ascertain Your identity when using the Site and/or the Services.
