What is Smart Communications
Smart Communications is a provider of web hosting and related online services operating in the Philippines and offering services to customers in Nigeria through brands such as Smartweb Nigeria. Services include shared hosting, reseller hosting, VPS, domains, email hosting, and site-security products.
The provider advertises features like uptime guarantees, 24/7 support and money-back conditions, while cancellation and refund rules are set in its customer policies.
Brand and services
Smart operates hosting, domains, and managed web services and lists product-specific terms for refunds and cancellations on its site.
Where the policy applies
The cancellation and refund rules referenced in this guide reflect Smartweb Nigeria’s published terms and apply to accounts created under that service brand.
How to cancel Smart Communications
Cancel via client area (recommended)
- Log in to the client area on your Smartweb account.
- Go to Services → My Services → View Details for the service you want to cancel.
- Open Management Actions and choose “Request Cancellation”.
- You will receive an automatic reply; wait for the separate cancellation-confirmation email (usually within ~48 hours).
- Reply to the confirmation email to request a refund if you believe you are eligible.
Timing and eligibility steps
- For monthly, quarterly or semi-annual hosting plans: cancel within 72 hours of purchase to be eligible for a refund.
- For annual shared or reseller hosting: cancel within 30 days of purchase to be eligible for a refund.
- Only first-time accounts are eligible for refunds; accounts previously cancelled and reopened or multiple accounts may be ineligible.
What happens when you cancel
Service access
When you submit a cancellation request the provider typically stops renewals and will schedule account suspension or termination according to its internal procedures.
Access to hosting control panels, email and site files may be revoked after cancellation and any data retention is governed by Smartweb’s policies.
Renewals and billing
Auto-renewal should be stopped at cancellation; confirm that future invoices are voided in your client area.
If you paid for a recurring plan, check your account to ensure no further charges are scheduled and retain confirmation emails.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Refunds are conditional and require a completed cancellation within the specified windows to be considered for reimbursement.
Cancellations made after 30 days for annual plans or after the allowed short-term windows are generally not refunded.
Exceptions and common conditions
- Refund windows: 72 hours for monthly/quarterly/semi-annual hosting; 30 days for annual shared/reseller hosting.
- Only first-time accounts are eligible. Reopened accounts or multiple accounts under the same user typically do not qualify.
- Violations of Terms of Service may forfeit refund rights.
- Certain products are non-refundable after purchase, including email hosting, SiteLock, CodeGuard, VPS, dedicated servers, domain registrations/transfers/renewals, cloud or WordPress hosting, Weebly SiteBuilder, G‑Suite, setup/custom services, web design and SSL certificates.
- Refunds default to credit in the client account unless a cash refund is specifically requested and validated; cash refunds may be subject to an administrative fee and matching bank details and are processed within approximately 3 to 7 days.

| Shared Hosting (basic) | Monthly / Annual | Varies |

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Applicable law and agencies
Nigerian consumers have protections under national consumer protection frameworks such as the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) which covers unfair trade practices, misrepresentation and rights to redress.
For telecoms and certain digital services regulatory matters may involve the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC); consumer complaints can also be escalated to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
How these rights interact with Smart’s policy
Smartweb’s own refund deadlines do not create a statutory cooling-off period; their policy is narrower than some e-commerce 14‑day withdrawal expectations.
If you believe the provider breached statutory rights (misrepresentation, failure to provide paid services), you may lodge a complaint with FCCPC or seek local consumer redress mechanisms.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some users report stable service and minimal downtime over long periods and highlight features such as uptime guarantees and 24/7 support.
A review summary has noted a 30-day money-back guarantee and user-friendly control panels for some plans.
Negative reports
Other customers report frequent downtime, slow service, delayed support responses and problems with domain transfers or access to code and domains.
Several reviewers have described frustrating experiences and warn that support tickets may be ignored; weigh these reports when deciding to purchase or when preparing a cancellation.
Documentation checklist
Before you request cancellation
- Account login credentials (email/username) and account ID.
- Order/invoice number and purchase date for the service you want to cancel.
- Copy of the cancellation request or the “Request Cancellation” confirmation email.
If you seek a refund or dispute
- Reply to the cancellation-confirmation email requesting refund and keep the reply thread.
- Bank details if you request a cash refund and supporting payment receipts.
- Evidence of service defects or downtime (screenshots, logs, support ticket IDs).
Common mistakes
Missing the refund window
A frequent mistake is assuming a refund is available after the provider’s short windows. For short-term hosting you must cancel within 72 hours, and for annual shared/reseller plans within 30 days, to preserve refund eligibility.
Failing to follow the confirmation process
Some users submit the cancellation request but do not reply to the separate confirmation email or fail to request the refund explicitly, which can delay or forfeit refund processing.
