Can I cancel my Ajax subscription without contacting my installer?

Only if you personally activated the service via card payment and have admin or PRO full-rights on the space. If a dealer or installer activated the service on your behalf, you must contact them to cancel — end users cannot self-cancel in that scenario.

Will I get a refund when I cancel?

Yes, but only if you choose 'Stop now'. This triggers an automatic prorated refund to your original payment card for the unused portion of the billing period. If you choose 'Deactivate' (cancels at end of billing month), no refund is issued.

What happens to my data after I cancel?

If you cancel Cloud Storage, recorded footage is expected to be deleted once the service period ends, though Ajax does not publish a specific retention window. To delete your account and all personal data entirely, go to App settings → Edit account → Delete account in the Ajax Security System app.

Can I reactivate my Ajax subscription after cancelling?

Yes. If you used 'Deactivate' (end of month), you can tap 'Restore' before the billing period ends to reverse it. If you used 'Stop now', reactivation requires setting up a new payment. Ajax SIM cards deactivated via 'Stop now' are immediately deactivated and require reactivation as a new service.

Does cancelling my subscription affect my security system hardware?

No. Ajax hardware (hubs, sensors, sirens) continues to function for local self-monitoring without any paid subscription. Cancelling only removes the paid add-on features like cloud video storage, SIM cellular backup, or Photo Mode.

How do I cancel if I'm on a professionally monitored plan?

Ajax does not provide professional monitoring directly — that is handled by third-party alarm receiving centres (monitoring companies) contracted separately. To cancel professional monitoring, contact your monitoring company directly, not Ajax Systems.
