At COSMO, we strive to provide our users with valuable digital experiences through our subscription services. Understanding your rights regarding refunds is essential for effective account management.

Significant Service Changes: If COSMO changes the terms of service significantly, users may have the right to inquire about refund options if they do not wish to continue with the modified service.
Technical Errors: In cases where a billing error or technical issue has led to incorrect charges related to your subscription service, users might explore refund eligibility based on the specifics of that situation.
Subscription Cancellation: For those who have successfully canceled their subscription within the stipulated timeframe, inquiries about potential refunds for any unused service periods could apply.
Promotional Offers: If a promotional offer was not properly applied to your account upon subscription, you may wish to check the eligibility for a refund on the difference.
