At Chek, we strive to ensure our users have a clear understanding of their rights regarding refunds for services provided. Chek offers a range of features designed to enhance user spending management, and it is important for users to know the specific circumstances under which they may be eligible for a refund.
Eligibility for refunds may arise from various user situations, particularly reflecting the nature of Chek's service and the way account usage can evolve. Below are some specific situations that may qualify for refunds:

Promotional Adjustments: If a user encounters discrepancies with promotional credits or discounts that were anticipated but not applied correctly, eligibility for refunds might be evaluated.
