What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Bloom
At Bloom, users access a suite of personalized digital tools designed to enhance their wellness journey. Understanding the circumstances under which users may be eligible for a refund is vital, especially given the subscription nature of our services. While we strive to ensure a seamless experience, there are specific situations related to account management, subscription status, and billing that might qualify users for a refund.
Cancellation within Grace Period: Users who cancel their subscription within a specified grace period following their last payment may qualify for a refund. This typically encompasses the initial 14 days after renewal, allowing users to assess the service without commitment.
Technical Issues: If a user experiences ongoing technical difficulties accessing their subscription features that cannot be resolved despite efforts by our support team, they might be eligible for a refund for the affected billing period.
Service Unavailability: In the event that the service is unavailable for an extended period—due to necessary maintenance or unexpected issues—users could potentially qualify for a refund for the period during which they were unable to utilize the service.
Account Billing Errors: Should a user identify discrepancies in their billing that relate to subscription terms or service levels, they may be eligible for a refund adjustment after verifying the account details with our customer service team.
Subscription Downgrade or Upgrade Misalignment: If a user experiences a misalignment in service offerings after downgrading or upgrading their subscription that impacts access to certain functionality, they may qualify for a refund for the time period where the service did not meet expectations.
For further clarification regarding individual circumstances, users are encouraged to reach out to our support team, who can provide personalized assistance and help determine eligibility based on specific account situations.
