If you find yourself in a situation where you believe a refund may apply, the following circumstances could qualify:

• Subscription Cancellation: If you have canceled your subscription before the next billing cycle and do not wish to continue access, you may qualify for a refund for any unused portion of your payment before the billing date.
• Service Not Accessed: If you have purchased a service but have not accessed any content or features, this may be a factor in determining eligibility for a refund.
• Technical Issues: In cases where users experience significant technical difficulties preventing access to the platform, this may create conditions that warrant evaluation for a refund.
• Account Duplication: If multiple accounts were mistakenly created, and you can demonstrate this through your user history, eligibility for a refund may be assessed on the basis of consolidating accounts.

It's essential to note that refund eligibility is subject to Classmates’ policies and practices, which govern the specific conditions under which refunds are assessed, depending on individual circumstances.

• Subscription Downgrade: A user decided to downgrade their Classmates premium membership from an annual plan to a monthly one after realizing they didn't need the added features. They contacted customer service to request a refund for the remaining months of their annual plan, successfully receiving a prorated refund and confirming their new monthly subscription.
• Yearbook Purchase Cancellation: After purchasing a printed yearbook that was intended for a reunion, a user found out the reunion was canceled.

• Account Access Issues: A longtime member was unable to access their account due to a forgotten password and an outdated email address, leading to confusion about their billing cycle.

• Upgrade Mistake: A subscriber accidentally upgraded to a higher tier of service during a promotional offer but realized shortly after that the additional features were not needed.
