What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from BuildYourStore
At BuildYourStore, we strive to ensure that our users have a clear understanding of their rights regarding refunds and eligibility for our services. As a platform designed to help you create and manage your online store, we recognize that circumstances may arise that lead to questions about billing and refunds. Below, we outline specific situations relevant to BuildYourStore that may qualify for a refund, along with the associated eligibility criteria.
Subscription Cancellations: If you choose to cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle, you may qualify for a refund for the unused portion of your service, depending on your account status and the time remaining in your billing period.
Service Downtime: If you experience significant service disruptions that prevent access to your store or its functionalities, you might be eligible for a refund for that billing cycle, contingent upon the nature and extent of the downtime.
Incompatible Features: Should purchased features or add-ons not be compatible with your store's setup or your specific needs, you may qualify for a refund for those services, depending on the evaluation of your request.
Incorrect Billing Amounts: Instances where the billed amount does not align with your subscription plan may lead you to seek clarification and potentially a partial refund for discrepancies, subject to validation of the billing records.
Trial Period Cancellation: If you cancel your subscription during a trial period before the trial expires, you may not be charged, and hence might not require a refund. However, you should verify the cancellation’s impact on any transitional billing.
It is important to review your account settings and billing history for precise eligibility details. Should you have any questions regarding your specific situation, we encourage you to reach out to our support team for personalized assistance.
