7️⃣ Canceling Your Service

βœ‰οΈ Written Cancellation Requirement (Billing Email Required)

All cancellation requests for Genie ISP internet service, subscriptions, recurring billing, or service-related accounts must be submitted in writing to Genie ISP’s billing department.

πŸ“§ Email is the only accepted cancellation method:
billing@genieisp.com

Cancellation requests made by phone calls, voicemails, text messages, live chat, social media, or in-person conversations are not valid and will not be processed.

πŸ“… Cancellations take effect only after written confirmation is issued by Genie ISP.

πŸ’³ Prepaid Service & No Refunds

All Genie ISP service is prepaid.

πŸ’Έ Once a payment has been applied to an account, the service period is considered active and cannot be refunded, even if service is later canceled.

πŸ“Œ Customers are responsible for all charges incurred prior to the effective cancellation date. If a next invoice generates after cancellation confirmation, the customer does not need to pay it.

πŸ”„ AutoPay Customers

Customers enrolled in AutoPay must email billing@genieisp.com to cancel future billing. Disabling AutoPay through a bank or card issuer without submitting a written cancellation request does not constitute valid cancellation.

⏳ AutoPay Processing & Cancellation Timing

AutoPay charges may be processed and applied prior to the invoice due date.

To prevent charges for an upcoming service period, written cancellation requests must be received before AutoPay is processed and applied to the account.

Once an AutoPay payment has been processed and applied, the service period is considered paid, earned, and non-refundable, regardless of the invoice due date.

Cancellation requests submitted after payment application will apply to future billing cycles only.

For the purposes of this policy, a payment is considered "applied" once it has been successfully processed and credited to the customer’s Genie ISP account.

πŸ›‘ We may cancel your service for:

🚫 Non-payment
