Can I get a refund when I cancel Splunk?

No. Per Splunk's General Terms, all fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. The only exception is if Splunk commits an uncured material breach — in that case, prepaid unused fees for the remaining term may be refunded.

What happens to my data after I cancel?

For Splunk Cloud (hosted) services, you have a 30-day window after termination to retrieve your data. After that, all customer content is permanently deleted. For on-premises installs, you must stop use and destroy or return all software copies.

When does my access end after cancellation?

Access ceases at the end of your contracted term. If you cancel mid-term, you typically retain access until the term expiration date since fees are non-refundable. Upon term end, access is terminated immediately.

Does Splunk auto-renew?

Yes. Subscriptions auto-renew for the same term length unless either party provides written non-renewal notice at least 30 days before the current term's expiration date.

Can I reactivate my Splunk subscription after cancelling?

Yes. You can contact Splunk Sales to re-subscribe, though a new contract and order would typically be required. There is no self-serve reactivation.

Is there a free trial I can use instead of a paid subscription?

Yes. Splunk Cloud offers a 15-day free trial with 5 GB/day ingest. Free trials auto-expire and do not charge if not converted to a paid plan — no manual cancellation is needed for trials.

Log in to Splunk Customer Portal

Go to https://splunk.my.site.com/customer/s/ and sign in with your Splunk account credentials.

Locate your Account Team contact

In the portal, find your assigned Splunk Account Executive or Customer Success Manager — their contact details appear in your original contract email or under the 'My Account' section of the portal.

Send written non-renewal notice

Email your Account Team rep (or splunk_billing@cisco.com for billing) with a written notice of intent to cancel or not renew. Include your account name, contract number, and desired termination date. This must be submitted at least 30 days before your term end date.

Call support if no account rep is assigned

Call Splunk/Cisco support at 1-855-775-8657 (US/Canada) and request cancellation or non-renewal processing. Reference your order number.

Open a support case (optional)

Alternatively, log a support case via the portal at https://splunk.my.site.com/customer/s/ — click 'Create a Case', select 'Billing/Licensing', and describe your cancellation request.

Confirm written acknowledgment

Wait for written confirmation from Splunk/Cisco that your cancellation or non-renewal has been recorded. Keep this for your records.

Export your data before term ends

Before the contract end date, export all data you need. Splunk provides a 30-day window post-termination to retrieve hosted data, after which all customer content is permanently deleted.
