What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from GoatCare
At GoatCare, we strive to provide our users with quality services tailored to their needs. Understanding your rights regarding refunds is important, and eligibility may depend on various factors related to your account and subscription status.
Here are some situations that may qualify for a refund:
Service Non-Delivery: If you encounter an instance where the scheduled service was not provided as outlined in your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
Billing Errors: Occasionally, there may be discrepancies in billing amounts. If you believe the charge does not align with your agreed-upon subscription terms, this might be a valid reason for a refund request.
Subscription Modifications: If you have made changes to your subscription plan and notice unintended charges, you may qualify for a refund for those specific amounts.
Account Management Issues: Situations such as being unable to access your account or receive the services included in your plan could warrant a review and potentially lead to a refund eligibility.
