Considering time

Then or at that time when you mean at the moment

- I lived in Paris at that time : je vivais alors à Paris

- Until then - jusqu'alors

Considering consequence

So

They refused to listen, so I left. Ils refusaient d'écouter alors je suis parti.

- when "alors" is followed by an relative sentence (+que + Subject + Verb (present or imperfect)

as or when

when you mean at the moment when -

While or wheras

when you are considering "at the same moment of a continuous action"

It can also be used in informal conversation to mean "So then..." and it can be placed after other words to give emphasis, e.g. "zut alors !" or "ça alors !"
