What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from BASEMENT membership
At BASEMENT, we strive to provide our members with clear guidelines regarding their eligibility for refunds as part of the membership experience. Our membership is designed to offer a range of services that may pertain to various program offerings, including access to facilities, specialized classes, and community events. Understanding typical user scenarios can clarify circumstances under which a refund may be feasible.
Cancellation prior to the next billing cycle: If a member cancels their subscription before the next billing date, they may qualify for a refund of that upcoming charge depending on the timing of the cancellation.
Inability to access services: Should a member experience technical issues that prevent access to key membership features, this could affect eligibility for a refund for that specific period of inaccessible service.
Program discontinuation: If a specific program or service that a member has paid for is no longer offered, they might be eligible for a prorated refund for the remaining duration of the membership.
Membership upgrade-related adjustments: If a member opts to upgrade their plan and faces a discrepancy in services provided versus what was advertised in relation to their new membership level, they may inquire about potential adjustments or refunds for that period.
Membership account errors: Should a member notice discrepancies in their account that relate to billed services, they could discuss these situations to determine whether a refund applies.
Each scenario will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and we encourage members to keep open communication with our support team for any inquiries related to their membership status and billing circumstances.
