What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Captain ALS
At Captain ALS, we strive to provide our customers with exceptional service, and we understand that there may be circumstances where a refund could be requested. Refund eligibility is dependent on the specific nature of the services provided and user-specific situations. Below are the scenarios that may qualify for a refund based on the service offerings of Captain ALS:
Rescheduled or Canceled Services: If a service was rescheduled by the user more than 48 hours in advance, the user may be eligible for a full refund, minus any potential processing fees, as per our cancellation policy.
Service Availability Issues: In the rare event that a scheduled service cannot be fulfilled due to unforeseen circumstances—such as severe weather conditions—users may qualify for a refund or rescheduling options without penalty.
Incorrect Billing Amounts: If a user notices that an incorrect billing amount was charged for any service rendered, they may inquire for clarification and possibly receive a refund for the difference based on the terms outlined during booking.
Unmet Service Expectations: Should a user feel that a service did not meet the standards as outlined at the point of sale, they may discuss their concerns and potentially qualify for a partial refund after review of the situation.
Membership and Package Policies: Users who purchase specific membership packages or multi-use options may be eligible for a refund if they do not utilize their allotted services within the specified timeframe, according to the terms of the package purchased.
For any inquiries related to potential refunds, it's encouraged to reach out to our customer service for personalized assistance and clarification based on individual cases.
