Cloudflare will not refund subscription fees once paid, even if you cancel partway through a billing period — you lose any unused portion of your subscription.

This provision defines the payment finality and cost allocation framework for subscription services. It establishes that the full subscription price is due regardless of the duration of service use during a billing period, and clarifies the treatment of tax obligations in fee calculations.
If you cancel your Cloudflare subscription before the end of a billing period, you will not receive a refund for the unused time — the full period's fee is non-recoverable.

"All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Unless otherwise required by law, all payments for subscriptions are non-refundable and there are no credits for partially used subscription periods.— Excerpt from Cloudflare's Cloudflare Terms of Use
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: No-refund policies are evaluated under FTC Act Section 5 for unfairness and deception, and under state consumer protection statutes. California consumers may have statutory refund rights under the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA, Cal. Civ. Code §1770) if the no-refund policy is not clearly disclosed pre-purchase. EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU, Art. 9), though digital services initiated with consumer consent before the cooling-off period may be exempt. UK consumers have similar rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
