What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Forbio
At Forbio, users have specific rights regarding their subscriptions and access to services provided through our platform. Understanding these rights can help clarify when you may be eligible for a refund based on your particular circumstances.
Refund eligibility most commonly arises from situations related to service usage and subscription management. Here are scenarios that may qualify for refunds:
Service Disruption: If you experience significant disruptions or technical issues that prevent you from accessing the services you've subscribed to, you might be eligible for a refund for that billing period.
Account Cancellation: When requesting to cancel your subscription, users may be eligible for a refund for any unused portion of their plan, depending on the timing of the cancellation request.
Incorrect Billing Amount: If you notice discrepancies in the amount billed compared to your agreement, you may want to inquire about the potential for a refund for the difference.
Trial Period Termination: For users who signed up for a trial period, if you choose to discontinue the service before the trial ends, you might have a refund option depending on the terms of the trial agreement.
Ineligibility for a Subscription Plan: If you mistakenly subscribed to a plan you later realize you do not meet the criteria for, you may want to check if a refund is applicable based on your specific situation.
For any billing issues or to discuss eligibility for a refund, we encourage you to consult your account details and reach out to our support team for personalized assistance.
