Refund Rules

Dropbox typically offers prorated refunds for annual plans when downgrading or canceling mid-cycle. Monthly plans can be canceled at any time without refund for the current month. Refunds for billing errors are handled case-by-case through support. Unused seats from mid-cycle downgrades may receive prorated credits to account balance.

Credit Policies

Dropbox provides Service Level Agreement (SLA) credits for Business and Enterprise plans when uptime falls below 99.9%. Credits are typically 10% of monthly fees for each day of qualifying downtime. No automatic credits for minor service issues - must be requested through support. Pre-paid unused capacity credits may be applied when downsizing storage or user counts.

Contractual Terms

Auto-renewal is standard with 30-day notice required for cancellation on annual plans. Monthly plans can cancel anytime. Price increases limited to once per year with 30-day advance notice. Enterprise contracts may have custom terms. Cancellation notice periods: 30 days for annual Business plans, immediate for monthly plans. Contract minimums may apply for Enterprise deals.

Technical Notes

OAuth 2.0 with team-level scopes required (team_info.read, members.read, reports.read, events.read). Rate limits: 1000 calls/month for free apps, higher for production. Requires Business plan or higher for team APIs - Plus/Professional lack team management endpoints. Well-documented REST API with good error handling. Key consideration: Activity tracking requires processing events API for detailed per-user metrics.
