Refund & Cancelation policy

Hola offers a suite of services, including a free product, with restrictions. In order to have unlimited online access, Hola's Premium product is the one for you. Should you want to cancel your subscription to Hola Premium, you can do so at any time.


Once your account passes its expiration date, your subscription will be automatically renewed. If you have canceled the auto-renewal, you will need to resubscribe to our services to continue using them. Sometimes we have to state the obvious :)


Your satisfaction is of course important to us. If you've not used Hola Premium, at all, for up to 14 days after purchase, you will be eligible for a refund.


If you've used Hola Premium, and you don't want Premium anymore, you can cancel and keep what's left of what you've paid for. You'll remain Premium until your next payment is due - which is when your cancellation will kick in.


Here are our instructions on how to cancel a recurring subscription.


While our policy allows customers to use Hola risk-free, we must also protect ourselves from fraud. Therefore, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to limit or deny refund requests.


iOS payments are processed directly through Apple (instead of Hola), hence, we are unable to offer refunds for in-app purchases made with your Apple account. More information can be found in Apple's refund policy.


Amazon payments are processed directly through Amazon (instead of Hola), hence, we are unable to offer refunds for in-app purchases made with your Amazon account. More information can be found in Amazon Terms of Use.


When will I receive my refund?

Refund requests are submitted to your payment processor or financial institution, immediately after Hola has received and processed your request. It may take between 5 to 7 business days (and in some cases longer) for the refund to appear in your account, depending on your financial institution or location.

I requested a refund more than 7 business days ago, but I still do not see it in my bank account. Where is my refund?

As noted before, it may take between 5 to 7 business days for the refund to be visible in your account after Hola has processed your request, depending on your financial institution or location.


Some refunds, however, may not appear in your account for up to 30 days. If it has been more than 7 business days since the refund was processed by Hola, please contact your bank directly to inquire about the status. If the bank does not see the refund in their records, please contact our friendly support team and they will help you out!

How do I change my payment information?

If you paid with your credit card, you cannot change your payment method after subscribing. You can choose to cancel your subscription renewal and once expired renew it using a different payment method.


If you paid via PayPal, the Google Play store, or the Apple App Store, you need to change your payment details directly with the specific payment provider.

Why am I unable to make a payment?

If you've encountered an error while attempting to make a payment, this article explains how to solve common reasons for payment issues.


  • Incorrectly entered information: please make sure that you entered the full name of the card owner, exactly as it appears on the card.


  • Incorrect CVC code: please ensure that you’re only entering numbers and the code is accurate.


  • Outdated saved payment method: if you’re encountering issues while trying to purchase a subscription with a previously saved preffered payment method, try to delete it and add it once again, to make sure that the details are correct and up-to-date.


  • Using a debit card: in some countries, debit cards do not allow foreign transactions. Call your bank to ensure your card is authorized for international purchases.


  • Issuing country for the card is different from the country of residence: if the issuing country for your card is different from your country of residence, your card might not be approved. Please try a different payment method, or contact your bank.


  • Attempting payments while using a VPN: multiple IP addresses can result in authorization problems and failed transactions. We advise that you refrain from using a virtual private network (VPN) while making a purchase.


  • Browser isn’t working correctly due to caching issues: if you’re receiving a notification that your card information looks invalid, there may be a caching issue. Please clear your browser’s cache and try again.

Still stuck? Your bank should have more information.


Some of the most common reasons banks decline payments include: insufficient funds, card purchase limitations, and card security policies. We recommend that you contact your financial institution directly to help you solve the issue.


It’s important to let your bank know that you would like to release a payment to Hola, which is based in Israel.
