Applies to: All plans (EU/EEA consumers).
If you are a consumer in the EU or EEA, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal (a "cooling-off period") on services you buy from us at a distance. This means you can change your mind and cancel within 14 days of placing your order, without giving a reason.
This article is a short summary. The authoritative version is our Right of Withdrawal page on maxinodes.com — please read it before you act, as it sets out the exact wording and any exceptions.
Who has this right?
This right is for consumers — people buying for personal use, not as a business. If you bought through a company or as a sole trader for business purposes, the statutory withdrawal right may not apply, although our money-back guarantee may still cover you.
How long do I have?
You have 14 days from the day you place the order to tell us you are withdrawing. You do not need to give a reason.
How do I exercise it?
You can withdraw in either of these ways:
- From your client area — open a ticket under Support at my.maxinodes.com stating clearly that you are withdrawing from your contract, and include the service or order it relates to.
- With a withdrawal form — use the model withdrawal form linked on our Right of Withdrawal page on maxinodes.com, and send it to our support email.
Result: Once we receive a clear statement that you are withdrawing within the 14 days, we treat the contract as withdrawn and refund any eligible amounts to your original payment method, normally within approximately 14 days.
The "service begun immediately" limit
There is one important limit. If you ask us to start providing a service straight away — during the 14-day window — and that service is then fully performed, your right to withdraw can be lost, in line with EU consumer rules. If the service is only partly performed when you withdraw, you may have to pay for the part already delivered.
In practice this matters for hosting that goes live immediately, and especially for domain registrations, transfers and renewals: once a domain is registered or renewed it cannot be undone, so domain fees are non-refundable once provisioned.
Withdrawal vs our money-back guarantee
These are two separate things. The 14-day withdrawal right is a statutory EU consumer right, and nothing in our guarantee reduces or replaces it. Separately, as a commercial promise, every plan is eligible for a 30-day money-back guarantee on your initial order — it does not cover renewals, and resold Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace mailboxes are non-refundable once provisioned. See Our 30-day money-back guarantee explained for how it works.
