Cooling-off (14 day withdrawal)

You have a 14 calendar day right to withdraw from an online contract under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. To use this right you must inform Norton before the 14 days expire. If you withdraw you will be refunded within 14 calendar days using the original payment method unless you agree otherwise.

Required proof documents: order confirmation, date of purchase, account email or order number.

Full refund window for annual purchases (60 days)

For annual subscriptions Norton provides a 60-day Money Back Guarantee for purchases and for annual renewals. If you request a refund within 60 days of the initial purchase or of a renewal, ask for a full refund citing the 60-day Money Back Guarantee.

Required proof documents: date of purchase or renewal, receipt, account details.

Pro-rata refunds after the 60-day window

If you request termination after the 60-day full refund window but before the penultimate month of the subscription period you are eligible to request a pro-rata refund under NortonLifeLock's CMA undertaking. Norton will pay pro-rata refunds as soon as reasonably practicable.

Required proof documents: renewal date, proof of request, account ID. See the CMA undertaking at Norton CMA undertaking.

Price increase

If Norton increases the auto-renewal price above the price you agreed at sale, you can cancel and request a refund for the unused period under the CMA undertaking requirement for clearer upfront pricing and pro-rata refunds in many cases.

Required proof documents: original price offer, renewal invoice showing the increase, account details.

Death of subscriber

Family or executor can request termination by contacting Norton support and providing a death certificate and proof of authority to act on behalf of the estate. Norton will process termination and consider refunds per their refund rules.

Required proof documents: death certificate, proof of relationship or executor status, account email.

Legitimate ground (service not performed with reasonable care)

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 services must be performed with reasonable care and skill. If Norton fails to provide the promised service you can complain, request remediation, or terminate for breach. If Norton provided a refund policy option under its terms, follow those steps.

Required proof documents: evidence of service failure, support tickets, scan of error messages. Legal basis: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Before cancelling: negotiate

Norton operates a 60-day Money Back Guarantee for annual purchases and provides pro-rata refunds after that for renewals under the CMA undertaking. There are no widely published standard retention discount amounts in the UK research data. To negotiate, contact Norton via webchat or phone, request to Cancel and ask explicitly for a 60-day refund or a pro-rata refund citing the CMA undertaking. Ask for a written confirmation of any retention offer and the exact new renewal price.

What cancelling saves you

Use the annual plan prices below to calculate yearly savings if you cancel before renewal. Examples based on Norton UK published first-year prices:

• Norton AntiVirus Plus: £34.99 per year. Saving if cancelled: 1 x £34.99 = £34.99 per year.
• Norton 360 Standard: £69.99 per year. Saving if cancelled: 1 x £69.99 = £69.99 per year.
• Norton 360 Deluxe: £89.99 per year. Saving if cancelled: 1 x £89.99 = £89.99 per year.
• Norton 360 Advanced: £149.99 per year. Saving if cancelled: 1 x £149.99 = £149.99 per year.

The cheapest real competitor in the verified research is Aura at £144 per year. Norton AntiVirus Plus at £34.99 remains the cheapest Norton plan in the published list and is cheaper than Aura's £144 per year.

Relevant UK law and regulator

The relevant laws are the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (14-day withdrawal right) and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (services performed with reasonable care and skill; unfair terms unenforceable). The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) supervised NortonLifeLock and secured an undertaking on refunds and auto-renewal practices; see the CMA undertaking at Undertaking and the government announcement at GOV.UK news.

Escalation route

Step 1: Complain to Norton via the support pages or the postal address. Step 2: If unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice and escalate to the CMA if it concerns unfair auto-renewal practices. For payment disputes, consider a Section 75 claim or a chargeback through your card issuer if the transaction qualifies. Legal basis: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, Consumer Rights Act 2015, CMA Undertaking.

Specific consumer rights summary
