At Cookie Compliance, we prioritize transparency and user satisfaction, particularly concerning our services which help businesses manage their cookie compliance requirements efficiently. Understanding your rights regarding refunds is essential and varies based on your subscription status and any services utilized.
Here are specific situations where users may qualify for a refund based on their circumstances:
Service Downtime: If there were significant service interruptions during your subscription period that impacted your ability to utilize the service, this may qualify for a refund.
Feature Unavailability: Should a specific feature that was part of your subscription be unavailable or inaccessible for a considerable time, it might be eligible for a refund consideration.
Subscription Tier Changes: If you upgraded your subscription to a higher tier but encountered issues that prevented you from accessing the promised benefits, this situation may warrant a review for a potential refund.
Billing Errors: If there’s a discrepancy in the billing amount that does not align with your selected plan, this could lead to discussions around refunds for the differing amount.
Account Closure Within the Trial Period: If you decide to close your account within any provided trial period and you have charged fees, you may be eligible for a refund of those fees.
For all inquiries regarding your specific situation and potential refunds, we encourage you to contact Cookie Compliance directly through our support channels, where our team can assist you in reviewing your account details and eligibility.
