Domain Registration: Cancellation & Refund Policy

At Atom, we understand that mistakes happen—whether it’s a typo in a new registration or a quick change of heart. We offer a Grace Period for most new domain registrations to help you correct these errors.

The 4-Day Cancellation Window

To be eligible for a registration cancellation and refund, your request must be submitted within 96 hours (4 days) of the initial registration.

Why 96 hours? Global domain registries have a strict 120-hour (5-day) cutoff for all registrations. We require a 24-hour buffer to ensure our team can manually verify your request and process the technical deletion with the registry before the final deadline.


Refund Terms & Fees

If your domain is eligible for a "Grace Period" cancellation, the following terms apply:

  • Administrative Fee: A flat fee per domain is charged per domain cancellation. This covers the non-refundable processing costs incurred from the registry and payment providers.

  • Refund Method: The remaining balance of your registration fee will be credited directly to your Atom Account Funds.

  • Use of Funds: Your Atom credits never expire and can be used immediately for any other domain purchase, service, or marketplace listing on our platform.

How to Request a Cancellation

  1. Check the Clock: Verify that you are still within the 96-hour window from the time of purchase.

  2. Contact Support: Reach out to our CX team via the Intercom chat bubble on your dashboard or via our support email.

  3. Confirm the Fee: Let us know you are comfortable with the administrative fee.

  4. Processing: Once approved, your domain will be deleted, and your account funds will be updated.


Important Limitations

  • Registry Restrictions: Certain domain extensions (specifically ccTLDs like .ai, .io, and .me) do not offer a grace period. These registrations are final and non-refundable from the moment of purchase.

  • Fair Use: To maintain registry compliance, we monitor the volume of cancellation requests. We reserve the right to deny cancellation requests for accounts that exhibit "domain tasting" behavior (excessive registering and deleting).

  • Renewals: This policy applies to new registrations only. It does not apply to domain renewals or transfers.
