What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Functional Flu
At Functional Flu, we strive to offer a transparent and user-friendly experience concerning billing and refund eligibility. Users may find themselves in various situations that could impact their eligibility for refunds based on their subscription and services usage.
Service Disruption: If a user experiences a significant service disruption that affects their access to the tools or resources provided for more than 24 hours, they may qualify for a refund for that period of service interruption.
Account Downgrade: In instances where a user chooses to downgrade their subscription level and requests a refund for any unused portion of their previous subscription, eligibility for a refund may be determined based on the terms of the subscription downgrade.
Trial Period Cancellation: Users who decide to cancel during a free trial period may be eligible for a refund if they have inadvertently been charged. Refunds may apply when cancellation is processed correctly before the trial ends.
Duplicate Transactions: While it’s important to manage subscription statuses, if a user finds more than one charge for the same service period, they may inquire about potential eligibility for a refund for the duplicate transaction.
Billing Misalignment: If a user believes there is a discrepancy concerning their billing cycle or amount charged, clarification can be sought which might lead to eligibility for a refund or adjustment based on the subscription agreement.
For specific details regarding refunds, users are encouraged to refer to the terms of service or contact our support team for assistance.
