Can I still access my cloud videos after I cancel?

Yes, until your current billing period ends. Once the subscription expires, no new videos will upload and existing videos will be deleted based on your loop recording duration — 15-day plan videos delete within 1 day of expiry, 30-day plan within 1 day accordingly.

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-subscription?

No. YI Technology's policy explicitly states: 'We do not accept refund while your subscription is still active.' You will retain access through the end of your paid billing period, but no partial refund is issued.

How do I reactivate my subscription after cancelling?

Open the YI Home or YI IoT app, select your camera, go to Settings → My YI Cloud → Subscription Management, and choose a new plan to resubscribe. Previously deleted cloud videos cannot be recovered.

What happens to my recorded videos when the subscription expires?

Videos are deleted on a rolling basis matching your old loop duration. For example, with a 15-day loop plan, all stored videos are deleted starting the day after your subscription expiration date. Download any important footage before this date.

I pay through PayPal — do I need to do anything extra?

Yes, this is critical. Canceling inside the YI app does not stop PayPal recurring payments. You must also go to PayPal → Settings → Payments → Manage Automatic Payments → find YI Technology → Cancel to stop future charges.

Can I cancel a free trial before being charged?

Yes. Canceling during a free trial stops cloud recording immediately — no videos will upload to cloud from that point. You will not be charged as long as you cancel before the trial period ends.
