If I delete my workspace, how can I avoid charges in the next billing cycle?

Delete the workspace **within the current billing period**, charges apply through the end of the period in which deletion occurs, but you won't be billed for the next one. LucidLink does not prorate, so timing matters: if your monthly cycle renews on the 15th, delete on the 14th to dodge the next charge. Annual plans behave the same way at the end of the 12-month commitment.

Can I pause my LucidLink subscription instead of cancelling?

No. LucidLink confirms in its pricing FAQ that **billing cannot be paused**, to stop incurring charges you have to delete your workspace. Charges apply until the end of the billing period regardless. If you only need a short break, the cheapest workaround is to downgrade to Starter ($7/member/month) and remove non-essential members before the next cycle, then upgrade again later.

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-term?

Not from LucidLink directly. The terms state customers **'will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion'** of the subscription fee when terminating early. Your subscription keeps running until the end of the paid term. EU consumers within the 14-day right of withdrawal can claim a proportional refund for the unused period. UK/US users can attempt a chargeback via their card issuer if cancellation requests are ignored, citing Section 75 (UK) or the FTC Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (US).

How does my LucidLink free trial work?

Every new workspace gets a **30-day free trial** including 1 TB of storage and up to 10 members, no credit card required. LucidLink auto-cancels the trial up to 24 hours before the trial end date, so if you do nothing you won't be charged, but your workspace will be **suspended** and you'll lose access to your filespace data. To preserve a clean exit, delete the workspace manually and back up anything you need first.

What if LucidLink keeps charging me after I cancel?

First, confirm the workspace itself is deleted (deleting only the filespace doesn't stop billing, the workspace must go). Then email **support@lucidlink.com** with your workspace ID, deletion date, and screenshots; reference the cancellation article on support.lucidlink.com. If you get nowhere within 7-10 days, raise a chargeback with your card issuer, UK cardholders have Section 75 protection on credit cards over £100, and US cardholders can dispute under Reg E/Reg Z. EU consumers can also invoke the Consumer Rights Directive.

Why am I being charged per member even though no data is stored?

LucidLink's pricing model **charges per member, not per GB used**, costs apply as long as members are active in a filespace, even if no data is stored. To stop the bill you must either remove the members before the next billing period or delete the workspace entirely. Note the 'peak members' count drives true-up charges on your next invoice, so removing members mid-cycle won't refund anything for that period.

How do I cancel a LucidLink annual subscription?

Annual plans are a **12-month commitment** and LucidLink doesn't prorate refunds for early termination. To prevent auto-renewal, cancel **at least 15 days before the end of the recurring term** per the terms of service, delete the workspace (after deleting all filespaces) before that 15-day cutoff. Mark your renewal date in your calendar; if you miss the window you're on the hook for another year unless you negotiate directly with sales.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a LucidLink Refund Past the No-Prorate Rule.

Inside 15 days their own policy is on your side; statutory cooling-off rights may stack on top. Outside it, you've still got tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for LucidLink.

The short answer

LucidLink does not offer prorated refunds when you cancel mid-term, you keep access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, and that's it. To stop the next renewal you must cancel at least 15 days before the term ends. EU consumers exercising the 14-day right of withdrawal can claim a proportional refund for the unused portion. Charges continue through the end of the billing period in which you delete your workspace.

What LucidLink actually says

“If Customer terminates a Service, Customer may use its subscription until the end of its then-current term and, if Customer cancels the applicable Service no later than [fifteen (15) days] prior to the end of the recurring term, its subscription will not be renewed after its then-current term expires. However, Customer will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion”

How long does a LucidLink refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note LucidLink’s own policy works on a 15-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
