    * Important Terms and Offer Details:

    .

    -Subscription, Free Trial, Pricing and Automatic Renewal Terms:

    • The amount you are charged upon purchase is the price of the first term of your subscription. The length of your first term depends on your purchase selection. 30 days before your first term is expired, your subscription will be automatically renewed on an annual basis and you will be charged the renewal subscription price in effect at the time of your renewal, until you cancel (Vermont residents must opt-in to auto-renewal.)
    • Unless otherwise stated, if a savings amount is shown, it describes the difference between the introductory first term price (available only to customers without an existing McAfee subscription) and the renewal subscription price (e.g., first term price vs. each year thereafter).
    • Pricing is subject to change. If the renewal price changes, we will notify you in advance so you always know what’s going on.
    • You can cancel your subscription or change your auto-renewal settings any time after purchase from your My Account page. To learn more, click here.
    • You will be provided a full refund upon request, by contacting Customer Support within 30 days of your initial purchase or 60 days of auto-renewal.
    • Your subscription is subject to our License Agreement and Privacy Notice. Subscriptions covering "all" devices are limited to supported devices that you own. Product features may be added, changed or removed during the subscription term.  Not all features may be available on all devices.  See System Requirements for additional information.
    • Free Trial Terms: At the end of your trial period you will be charged $39.99 for the first term. After the first term, you will be automatically renewed at the renewal price (currently $109.99/yr). We will charge you 7-days before renewal. You can cancel at any time before you are charged. ​
    • Plans with unlimited device protection cover only household devices that you own for personal, non-commercial use, and are subject to our fair use policy. If you have an issue adding a device, please contact Customer Support.

    -**Free Benefits With Auto-Renewal:

    • For many qualifying product subscriptions McAfee offers additional benefits for free when you are enrolled in auto-renewal. You can check your eligibility for these benefits in your My Account page. Not all benefits are offered in all locations or for all product subscriptions.  System Requirements apply.   Turning off auto-renewal terminates your eligibility for these additional benefits. 
    • Virus Protection Pledge (VPP): If we cannot remove a virus from your supported device we’ll refund you the amount you paid for your current term subscription.  The refund does not apply to any damage or loss caused by a virus.  You are responsible for backing up your data to prevent data loss. See terms here: mcafee.com/pledge.

    -‡Additional Terms Specific to Identity Monitoring Service:

    • Eligibility: McAfee® Identity Monitoring Service Essentials is available within active McAfee+ Premium, McAfee+ Advanced, McAfee+ Ultimate, McAfee Total Protection and McAfee LiveSafe subscriptions. Not all identity monitoring elements are available in all countries. See License Agreement for more information. 
    • Your subscription is subject to our License Agreement and Privacy Notice. Product features may be added, changed or removed during the subscription term. Some features may require registration and a valid ID number to activate. See System Requirements for additional information.
    • While McAfee Identity Monitoring Service provides you tools and resources to protect yourself from identity theft, no identity can be completely secure.
    • US Only:
      Fair Credit Reporting Act: You have numerous rights under the FCRA, including the right to dispute inaccurate information in your credit report(s). Consumer reporting agencies are required to investigate and respond to your dispute, but are not obligated to change or remove accurate information that is reported in compliance with applicable law. While this plan can provide you assistance in filing a dispute, the FCRA allows you to file a dispute for free with a consumer reporting agency without the assistance of a third party.
    • Identity theft coverage is not available in New York due to regulatory requirements.

    -Additional Terms Specific to customers with Identity Theft Coverage​

    • Purchase required to activate Identity Theft Coverage.​

The complete policy is available from Sontiq on request. Claims will be reviewed by the insurer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the master group policy. Restoration services are provided by Sontiq, Inc.​ ​ ​

    -‡Additional Terms Specific to Scam Detector:

    • Video Scams is currently trained only on English audio. Scanning non-English audio in videos might give less accurate results. No AI is perfect, but we’re committed to improving its reliability for your protection. See here for more information.
