Simple Application Server:Refunds and unsubscriptions for Simple Application Server

Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

Simple Application Server supports unsubscriptions in various scenarios. Alibaba Cloud issues refunds based on the refund rules.

Important considerations

  • Instance and data are not recoverable: When you unsubscribe from a Simple Application Server instance, the instance and all its data are immediately released and cannot be recovered. Before you unsubscribe, you must back up or migrate your data.

  • Refund amount: Refunds are issued only for the actual amount paid. The value of any coupon is not included in the refund.

  • Violations: You are not eligible for a refund if you violate relevant laws, regulations, or the product's terms of service.

  • Promotional rules: If you purchased the product during a promotion, the promotional rules take precedence over the general unsubscription rules in case of a conflict.
