Cancellations & Refunds

Software orders and separately contracted services have different payment and cancellation paths. The applicable provider and terms are shown before payment.

Last reviewed: 4 September 2026. Cancellation and refund handling follows the enabled order or written service scope and mandatory local rights.

Software subscriptions

An enabled subscription can be cancelled through Paddle's customer portal or the support route shown in the transaction email. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period, and no further renewal is taken. Mandatory cancellation or withdrawal rights still apply where the buyer's law requires them.

Failed payments

A failed renewal keeps normal workspace access for a seven-day grace period. If payment is not recovered, the workspace becomes read-only with export access. A payment event never deletes company records automatically.

Access and data after cancellation

Normal access continues through the paid period. After it ends, the workspace remains read-only for 30 days so authorised users can export records. Terminated-company data is retained for 90 days before a reviewed deletion process may begin, unless a longer legal, tax, fraud, dispute, security, or written-contract requirement applies.

Refunds, disputes and chargebacks

Paddle is the seller of record for a Paddle transaction and handles the payment, tax receipt, refund and chargeback process. Refund eligibility follows Paddle's buyer terms and refund policy plus any mandatory local rights. A refund or dispute can suspend product access while the transaction is reviewed, but it does not silently erase company data.

Software configuration and scoped service projects

A clearly listed software-configuration charge is part of its software order. Human, custom and managed-service projects are contracted separately and are not paid through Paddle. If separately contracted work stops, completed and committed work is documented and any unearned amount is reviewed under the written scope, invoice terms and applicable rights.

Duplicate, incorrect or defective orders

For a Paddle software order, report a duplicate, unrecognised or incorrect charge through Paddle's buyer support and tell SystemLineage through the contact page. For a separately invoiced service, contact SystemLineage and use the dispute route identified by that invoice provider.

How to request help

Use the contact page with the product or service name and account email. Use Paddle's receipt or customer portal only for Paddle software orders. Never send passwords or card details through a public request.
