Canceling product subscriptions

There are two ways to cancel an AWS Marketplace subscription, depending on the type of agreement and how the cancellation is initiated:

  • Buyer self-service cancellation — For subscriptions with usage-based pricing (pay-as-you-go) and public contracts within 48 hours of purchase, you can cancel directly from the AWS Marketplace console.

  • Seller-initiated cancellation — For all other agreement types, the seller must initiate the cancellation request. You then approve or deny the request in the AWS Marketplace console. See Responding to a cancellation request.

Note

Cancellation only stops future charges from being generated. It doesn't automatically refund charges on invoices that have already been issued. If you also need a refund for past charges, contact the seller and ask them to submit a billing adjustment (refund) request. For more information, see Refunds and cancellations in AWS Marketplace.

The following sections explain how to cancel Amazon Machine Image (AMI), Container product, Machine Learning, and Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions directly from the AWS Marketplace console.

Canceling your AMI subscription

You use the AWS Marketplace console to cancel an AMI subscription, and you then use the Amazon EC2 console to terminate all running instances of the subscription.

Warning

You must terminate all instances in order to stop billing for the subscription.

After you cancel your subscription, you lose access to the software.
