What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Cloud
At Cloud, we strive to provide our users with clarity regarding their eligibility for refunds related to our services. Understanding the conditions under which refunds may be granted is essential for managing your subscription effectively. Below are the specific scenarios where users might find themselves eligible for a refund based on their account management and service usage.
Unused Service Days: If you have purchased a subscription and have not utilized the service for a portion of your billing cycle, you may be eligible for a refund for those unused service days.
Service Downtime: In the event that our services are unavailable due to technical issues, and you were unable to access them for an extended period, you may qualify for a refund for that disrupted time frame.
Subscription Changes: If you have made modifications to your subscription plan that resulted in an overpayment during the billing cycle, you could be eligible for a refund corresponding to that difference.
Promotional Credits: If you have received promotional credits that were not applied correctly to your account, you may want to inquire about the possibility of receiving a refund equal to those credits.
Account Cancellation within the Trial Period: In case you decide to cancel your subscription within the trial period and you have been charged, you could be eligible for a refund of that charge.
