Cancellation, Returns and Refunds

Minut’s return and refund policy, subscription credits, price adjustments, and missing deliveries

Written by Ipti Niskala

Subscription

How to cancel a subscription

You can cancel your Minut subscription at any time from the billing section of the web app at web.minut.com/billing

  • by clicking on Change Plan and

  • selecting the Cancel Plan button on the bottom of the page

What happens

Details

When cancellation takes effect

At the end of your current billing period- not immediately

Access after cancellation

You keep full access to your plan until the period ends

Subscription pause

Not available. Minut does not offer the ability to pause a subscription. We would advise you to cancel and subscribe again when you're ready.

Subscription refund

Refund window

7 days from the date of purchase

Cancelled mid-period

Subscription charges are non-refundable. The unused amount left from your subscription will not be returned back to you.

Cancelled after renewal

Renewal charges are refundable for up to 7 days after renewal date.

After that window, subscription can be scheduled for cancellation (and used until the renewal date)

Subscription transfer

Subscriptions cannot be transferred. A Minut subscription is tied to the rental unit it was activated on and to the organisation owner's account.

It cannot be:

  • moved to a different rental unit,

  • transferred to another Minut account,

  • or reassigned to a different organisation.

If you need to monitor a different property, a new subscription must be purchased for that rental unit.


Rental unit

How to delete a rental unit

Deleting a rental unit permanently removes it and all its historical data (noise events, occupancy logs, incident reports, and sensor settings) from your account. The subscription for that unit is cancelled immediately.

This cannot be undone. If you are moving a sensor to a different property rather than decommissioning it, use Sensor Swap instead as this transfers all settings and data to the new unit without losing anything.

Mobile app

  1. Tap Properties and select the rental unit you want to delete

  2. Tap the settings icon (⚙) in the top right corner of the unit view

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the settings page

  4. Tap Delete rental unit

  5. Confirm the deletion when prompted: the unit is removed immediately

Web app

  1. Go to web.minut.com/homes and click the rental unit you want to delete

  2. Click the settings icon (⚙) or open the Settings tab within the unit view

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the settings page

  4. Click Delete rental unit

  5. Confirm the deletion when prompted — the unit is removed immediately

What happens when you delete a rental unit

Item

What happens

Subscription

Cancelled with immediate effect

Historical data

Permanently deleted and cannot be recovered

Sensor

Removed from the unit — the physical sensor is not affected and can be reinstalled elsewhere

Rental unit refund

Refund window

For properties removed within 7 days of creation, the pre-paid rental unit is restored and can be used again.

Deletion mid-period

Rental units deleted after 7 days of creation will not be credited back.

Deleted after renewal

Rental units can be deleted and the unused subscription days will be transferred to your Minut account pro-rata in the form of credits available for future use.


Call Assist Add-on

How to cancel Call Assist

Call Assist is billed annually alongside your Minut subscription. Cancelling it follows the same billing cycle rules: it remains active until the end of your current billing period and no partial refund is issued for unused time.

Web app

(only — Call Assist cannot be cancelled from the mobile app)

  1. Click Account → Plan, Billing & Payments

  2. Find the Call Assist add-on under your active services

  3. Click Cancel Call Assist and confirm

Call Assist will remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that, the third noise alert will no longer trigger an operator call — revert to your previous guest alert setting (SMS, Autocall, or Flash and Sound) if needed.

Note: Cancelling Call Assist does not affect your base Minut subscription. Your plan (Starter, Standard, or Pro) continues unchanged.

Wha happens when you cancel call assist

Call Assist add-on refund window

7 days from the date of purchase

Call Assist add-on cancelled mid period

Add-on charges are non-refundable. The unused amount left from your add-on will not be returned back to you.

Call Assist cancelled after renewal

Renewal charges are refundable for up to 7 days after renewal date.

After that window, the add-on can be scheduled for cancellation (and used until the renewal date)


Hardware returns and refunds

Minut sensors purchased directly from store.minut.com can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full product refund.

Return Window

30 days from the date of delivery

Condition required

Returned in the same condition as received, in the original packaging

Hardware refund

Full refund of the sensor purchase price

Warranty

For warranty terms and post-warranty service, see minut.com/terms and the Warranty and device support timelines article

Return costs

Free return shipping is only available for customers in the United States and the United Kingdom. If you are located outside of these countries, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the sender.

Return delays

For customers in the UK and the United States that are provided with a return label and instructions from Minut, their return need to be sent within 2 weeks of reception of the label. Returns sent after this deadline will not be processed.

To request a return, email hello@minut.com with:

  • Your order number

  • Your Minut account email address

  • A brief description of the reason for the return

Purchases from other vendors

Minut’s return and refund policy applies only to purchases made directly at store.minut.com. If you purchased your Minut sensor from a third-party retailer, the return and refund policy of that vendor applies instead.

Minut cannot process returns or refunds for purchases made elsewhere.

Stolen device

Minut sensors are not covered against theft. We recommend including a clause in your rental agreement that holds guests financially responsible for any damage to or theft of equipment on the premises as this is the most effective way to protect yourself before an incident occurs.

If a sensor is stolen, you can file a report with your local police or speak to your home insurance provider. You may also seek reimbursement from the guest directly, where your rental agreement and platform policies allow.


Unused subscription credits

Promotional credits are automatically applied to future subscription invoices.

Check your balance at any time in your credit balance in Plan, Billing & Payment.

How credits work

Applied automatically to future subscription invoices

Expiry on active accounts

Credits remain valid as long as the account is active

Expiry on inactive accounts

30 days after your paid period closes

Credits remain valid for as long as your subscription is active. If your subscription ends — whether through cancellation, non-renewal, or unresolved non-payment — any remaining credits expire 30 days after your paid period closes. Reactivating your account within that 30-day window preserves your credits. After that, they are forfeited.


Price adjustments

If a Minut sensor is discounted within 5 days of your purchase, you may be eligible for a price adjustment: a refund of the difference to your original payment method.

Eligibility window

Within 5 days of the original purchase date

Refund method

Difference refunded to the original form of payment
