What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from CRES
At CRES, we strive to provide clear information regarding user rights and refund eligibility for the services we offer. Understanding the specific situations that might qualify you for a refund can help you effectively manage your subscription and account. Below are relevant scenarios in which users may qualify for a refund based on our policies:
Service Disruptions: If there was a disruption in the delivery of services that affected your ability to access benefits covered under your policy, you may be eligible for a refund for the time period during which service was unavailable.
Duplicate Purchases: If you inadvertently purchased the same service more than once for the same coverage period, this situation may warrant a review for potential refund eligibility.
Policy Adjustments: In the event of a significant change to your policy that you were not adequately notified of, you might be qualified for a proportional refund based on the adjustments made.
Disability or Other Qualifying Conditions: If you are unable to utilize your policy due to a disability or other qualifying conditions, there may be options to adjust your billing and review refund eligibility.
Cancellations During the Grace Period: If you canceled within a stipulated grace period set by your policy*, you might have the potential to qualify for a full or partial refund.
Always refer to your specific agreement and account details for the most accurate information regarding eligibility, and feel free to reach out to our customer support team for assistance tailored to your situation.
*Note: Grace periods may vary by policy and should be verified for your specific terms.
