REFUNDS FOR SPECIAL DEALS
From time to time, HOSTINGER offers special deals such as a free domain when buying 12/24/48 months hosting plan.
Such free domains provided as part of special deals are non-refundable (except for .br, .com.br and .net.br domains) and cannot be exchanged to other (different) domains and (or) products.
Keeping in mind that there are different conditions for domain refunds (as described in this Refund Policy), Hostinger remains the right to refund you a difference between your paid amount and the domain you received for free price. In such a case, you can keep using a domain name for the remaining billing period term.
PAYMENT METHODS WITH SPECIAL REFUND TERMS:
Please note that all payment processors have different policies and requirements for refunds and there are some payment methods that are not eligible for a refund under any circumstance.
Please be informed that products purchased using these payment methods can not be refunded to the original payment source:
- Multibanco (Portugal)
- GCash (Philippines)
- Fawry (Egypt)
Only a refund to Hostinger Balance is possible for these payment methods.
The following payment method supports full refunds only:

REFUNDS TO BALANCE
We provide refunds to the original funding source. But if you would like to use funds to purchase another Hostinger service instantly, you can select a refund to your Hostinger Balance. Please note that once a refund to Hostinger Balance is initiated for a selected invoice, it becomes irrevocable and cannot be refunded to a different source.
REFUNDS FROM BALANCE
Over-funded balance can be refunded within 30 days of the payment that resulted in the over-funding. In special cases, other payments can be refunded instead of the original payment if the 30-day time-frame can be applied to those payments.
CHARGEBACKS
If at any time, we record a decline, chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, risk of payment fraud or other rejection of a charge of any payable fees on your Hostinger account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, therefore you agree that Hostinger may pursue all available lawful remedies in order to obtain payment, including but not limited to, immediate termination, without notice to you, of your Hostinger account and any domain names or Hostinger services registered or renewed on your behalf (“Services”). In addition, this will also result in disabling the option to checkout with a credit card for your Hostinger account to limit the risk of payment fraud.
In the event a Chargeback is performed, your Hostinger account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such a Hostinger account, including any certain content, features, or capacity of your Hostinger account may be subject to cancellation and loss of data.
Your use of the Hostinger Services and the ability to checkout using credit card will not resume until you:
verify the payment method used for the disputed transaction, either by providing:
proof of the payment; or
a simple censored photo of the credit card, with uncovered first 6 (six) and last 4 (four) digits.
pay any applicable fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by Hostinger and/or any third party services for each Chargeback received (including fees for Hostinger Services provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor).
Cases related to criminal fraud chargebacks or obvious payment fraud (i.e. cases where compromised credit card details were used to make purchases) will result in permanent service termination without any option to recover.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to Hostinger, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the Hostinger Services from being canceled and your Hostinger account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable fees, in addition to re-payment of all the fees applicable to the Hostinger Services purchased (and charged-back) by you.
We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the Services rendered thereafter.
