Avast Cancellation vs Refund: Why Turning Off Renewal Is Not Enough
The short answer
Avast Premium Security is an auto-renewing subscription, and its current 10-device US reference is roughly $69.48 first year and $99.99/year renewal. Cancellation and refund are two different actions.

- Cancellation is not a refund; third-party purchase rules can differ.
Cancel auto-renewal to stop the next charge
Avast's EULA says the subscription renews automatically unless canceled. If you only want to prevent another term, turn off auto-renewal before the next charge.
Annual purchases use a 30-day refund route
Avast's current refund policy says eligible annual purchases can receive a full refund when requested within 30 days of purchase.
Annual renewal charges also use 30 days
The same policy says each subsequent annual charge can also be eligible for a full refund if requested within 30 days.
Cancel and refund may both be necessary
If you want the recent charge returned and also want no future renewals, request the refund and separately disable auto-renewal. One action does not automatically perform the other.
Renewal price can differ
Avast says the renewal price may differ from the current subscription period and that annual subscribers receive advance notice of the next charge.
Third-party purchases can follow different rules
App stores, retailers and resellers can use different refund routes. Bitdefender, Norton and ESET also use different subscription/refund structures.
Avast has a public affiliate program, but Toolnavia approval and tracking are unverified.
Buying rule
Cancel auto-renewal when your goal is to stop the next charge. If an eligible annual purchase or renewal charge is recent and you want the money back, submit a separate refund request within the current 30-day window.
