v2.0 Updated May 29, 2026 Reading time approximately 5 minutes

Important Information

Data recovery after cancellation is technically impossible. Based on §11 of the Terms of Service, the game server instance will be immediately deleted at the time of cancellation request, and all data on the server (save data, configuration files, and panel-side backups) will be permanently lost.

Essential Checklist Before Cancellation

Before proceeding with cancellation, you must complete the following:

  • Obtain a full backup using the “Backup” feature in the game panel
  • Download the created backup file to your local environment
  • Download important files such as save data individually (optional)
  • Verify that downloaded files are not corrupted
Please verify the contents of downloaded files in your local environment before proceeding. After cancellation is complete, it will be technically impossible to retrieve additional data.

Cancellation Types and Refunds

You may choose one of the following cancellation methods:

METHOD A

Immediate Cancellation

The game server instance will be immediately deleted at the time you submit your cancellation request through the client portal.

Refund
We will refund the unused period as account credit. This credit can be applied to other services provided by us.

METHOD B

Cancellation at End of Billing Period

You may continue using the server normally until the end of the current billing period, at which point the service will automatically terminate.

Refund
None. The billed period will be used in full.

Cash refunds are only applicable within the “72-hour refund guarantee” period defined in §9 of the Terms of Service. For details, please refer to the Terms of Service.
