Payment Methods: To use the VPNCity service you must provide one or more Payment Methods. You authorise us to charge any Payment Method associated with your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have successfully charged a valid Payment Method. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Local tax charges may vary depending on the Payment Method used. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.
Only basic payment information is processed through our payment service providers (e.g. Stripe, PayPal, etc.) and payment processing partners authorized to provide services within the respective country. - 3.3.

To cancel, go to the "My Account" page and click the ‘Change Plan’ button. You will be presented the option to cancel renewal on the next page. If you cancel your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. To see when your account will close, this is visible on the "My Account" page. If you signed up for VPNCity using your account with a third party as a Payment Method and wish to cancel your VPNCity membership, you may need to do so through such third party, for example by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the VPNCity service through that third party. - 3.5.

There are common VPN service configuration issues that may hinder VPNCity service for you and we are able to resolve most of the user issues encountered.

In this case, refunds are handled according to the terms of service of the reseller from which the product was purchased.
