• Software Purchases: Users have seen charges related to software or tools purchased through clustered.net, which could be for individual or bulk licenses.
• Domain Registrations: Individuals looking for web hosting may not realize that domain registration fees will also apply, resulting in unexpected charges.
• Inactivity Fees: Some forums mention inactivity fees for accounts that are not used for a certain period, which can surprise users.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the clustered.net via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the clustered.net refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with clustered.net, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
