Refund upon Resource Termination
Prepaid Resources
Upon resource termination, if your resources have not yet expired, the system will automatically refund the unspent amount. Resources paid on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis may have enjoyed a period discount at the time of purchase. If not used for a full billing period, the discount will be deducted at the time of refund.
Refund Amount = Max (0, Actual Order Payment - Consumed Amount)
- Actual Order Payment: The amount paid by the user after applying any discounts, using either cash or bonus. This does not include the part paid by vouchers.
- Daily Purchased Resources
If the actual usage is less than the billing period: Consumed amount = Actual order payment x (Usage period ÷ Total billing period) x 1.25
If the actual usage equals the billing period: Consumed amount = Actual order payment - Monthly Purchased Resources
If the actual usage is less than the billing period: Consumed amount = Actual order payment x (Usage period ÷ Total billing period) x 1.5
If the actual usage equals the billing period: Consumed amount = Actual order payment - Yearly Purchased Resources
If the actual usage is less than the billing period: Consumed amount = Monthly price x 12 x Number of years x (Usage period ÷ Total billing period)
If the actual usage equals the billing period: Consumed amount = Actual order payment - If the consumed amount is greater than or equals the actual order payment, the refund amount is zero, no additional charges for the outstanding part.
- In the refunded amount, the part paid by vouchers at the time of purchase cannot be refunded, the non-voucher part (cash/bonus) is refunded in proportion to the payment.
- The minimum billing unit during refund is an hour, less than an hour is considered as one hour.
Example 1: You purchased a host for a month, paid 800 {{currency}}. After 10 days of use, you deleted the resource to get a refund. The refund calculation is as follows:
Consumed amount: 800 x (10 ÷ 30) x 1.5 = 400 {{currency}}
Refund amount: 800 - 400 = 400 {{currency}}
Example 2: You purchased a host for three months in one go, paid 2400 {{currency}}. After 45 days of use, you deleted the resource to get a refund. The refund calculation is as follows:
Consumed amount: 2400 x (45 ÷ 90) x 1.5 = 1800 {{currency}}
Refund amount: 2400 - 1800 = 600 {{currency}}
Example 3: You purchased a host for a year, paid 8000 {{currency}} (monthly price 800 {{currency}}). After 2 months of use, you deleted the resource to get a refund. The refund calculation is as follows:
Consumed amount: 800 x 12 x 1 x (2 ÷ 12) = 1600 {{currency}}
Refund amount: 8000 - 1600 = 6400 {{currency}}
Example 4: You purchased a host for a year, paid 8000 {{currency}} (monthly price 800 {{currency}}). After 11 months of use, you deleted the resource to get a refund. The refund calculation is as follows:
Consumed amount: 800 x 12 x 1 x(11 ÷ 12) = 8800 {{currency}}
Refund amount: 8000 - 8800 = -800 {{currency}}, exceeding fee won't be additionally charged and the refund amount is 0 {{currency}}
Example 5: You purchased a host for three years in one go, paid 14400 {{currency}} (monthly price 800 {{currency}}). After 15 months of use, you deleted the resource to get a refund. The refund calculation is as follows:
Consumed amount: 800 x 12 x 3 x(15 ÷ 36) = 12000 {{currency}}
Refund amount: 14400 - 12000 = 2400 {{currency}}
