What you pay in total

First payment plus every renewal that falls due within the period, at the renewal price published today. A provider can change that price before your renewal date. For the 36-month plan the pricing page does not state the amount of the first payment; we calculated it as €1.79 per month × 39 months. The amount actually charged can differ by a few cents because the monthly price is rounded.

How to cancel and get a refund

Private Internet Access refunds within 30 days. New subscribers only per the pricing page; app-store, gift-card and third-party deal purchases are refunded only by the respective processor; not eligible within three months of a previous refund.

To avoid the renewal charge, switch off automatic renewal in your account before the first term ends. The provider's terms decide the exact deadline.
