What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from GemShield
At GemShield, we value our users and strive to provide a transparent and supportive experience regarding your account and billing. Eligibility for refunds largely depends on your specific circumstances related to your subscription status and usage of our services. Users may qualify for a refund in the following situations:
Subscription Downgrades: If you choose to downgrade your subscription plan and your billing cycle has not yet completed, you may be eligible for a proportional refund based on the unused portion of your current subscription.
Service Interruption: In the rare event of significant service disruptions that impact your ability to use GemShield as intended, you might qualify for a refund for the affected billing period.
Account Closure: If you decide to close your account and have not utilized the service during the current billing cycle, you may be eligible for a refund of the current month's fee.
Promotional Credits: In cases where promotional credits were issued for account adjustments or service inconveniences, if these credits were not fully utilized, you could apply for a refund of the remaining balance.
We encourage users to reach out to our customer support team for a detailed review of their accounts, as this will provide the best information tailored to individual situations regarding eligibility for refunds.
