Once a new billing cycle begins, you won’t be able to request a refund, even if you cancel your account at the beginning of the month. Still, you will have access to all features until the prepaid cycle ends. If you don’t want to pay for the following month, cancel your account at least three days before the expiration date.

Will my Archives.com free trial auto-renew into a paid subscription?

If you’re new to Archives.com, the company will give you a 14-day free trial. Once the trial expires, it will automatically turn into a paid subscription. You will be charged for the next month and additional taxes. If you don’t want to spend your money on Archives.com services, you need to cancel your free trial before it expires.

DoNotPay doesn’t allow companies to charge you after free trials!

If you forget to cancel your Archives.com free trial on time, you will lose some money on a subscription you don’t want or need. To avoid this issue, sign up for the free trial with DoNotPay’s virtual credit card.

DoNotPay's virtual credit card generator enables you to create a new credit card number that you can use to sign up for services and verify your payment info without worrying about information abuse and theft.
