The short answer
For Withings+ subscriptions, payments are non-refundable and partial periods aren't credited, you keep access until the current billing period ends. For physical devices bought from withings.com, there's a 30-day return window: log in, go to order status, click 'Return My Order', print the free label and ship it back. Refunds process 5 to 10 business days after the warehouse receives the device. U-Scan and other hygienic items can't be returned once opened.

“Payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods or unused services. Note: You won't be charged if you unsubscribe before the end of your trial period.”

How long does a Withings 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 Withings’s own policy works on a 30-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
