Nest Aware (Google Home Premium)

• If you purchased your plan through a partner (e.g., an internet service provider or security company), you must contact that partner directly to cancel — Google cannot cancel partner-billed subscriptions.
• If purchased from the Google Store, cancel through the Google Store website (store.google.com) rather than the Google Home app.
• If billed through Google One as part of a bundle, manage the subscription through the Google One app or one.google.com.

Nest Aware (Google Home Premium)

• You can resubscribe at any time through the Google Home app or Google Store.
• Once you cancel, all unsaved video footage is permanently deleted — cameras will still function for live viewing but will not record event history.
• Your camera settings, device configuration, and Google Home setup are preserved after cancellation.
• Previously saved clips or manually saved footage may remain accessible in your Google account.

Ring Protect

• You will retain all plan benefits until the end of your current billing period after cancellation.
• Download any recorded videos you wish to keep before the plan ends, as access will be lost after the subscription expires.

Nest Aware (Google Home Premium)

• Nest Aware has been rebranded to Google Home Premium — the Standard plan is $10/month or $100/year (30 days of event video history), and the Advanced plan is $20/month or $200/year (60 days of event history plus 10 days of continuous recording).
• No cancellation fees apply to any Google Home Premium plan.
• After cancellation, cameras lose intelligent alerts (familiar face detection, package detection, vehicle detection) and revert to basic motion notifications only.
• The cancellation method must match where you originally purchased — Google Home app purchases cancel through the app, Google Store purchases through store.google.com.
• If you have multiple Google Nest cameras, the subscription covers all cameras on your account — canceling affects all devices.
• Legacy Nest Aware subscribers (pre-2020 plans) may have different pricing grandfathered in; Google has been migrating legacy plans to Google Home Premium.
• Contact Google Nest support at support.google.com/googlenest or through the Google Home app for help with cancellation issues.
