What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from GuruGo
At GuruGo, we strive to provide clarity regarding user rights and eligibility for refunds. Our service, designed to enhance your productivity and streamline your project management, has specific considerations for determining refund eligibility based on user circumstances and account activity.
The following situations may qualify for a refund:
Service Downtime: If users experience significant service interruptions that prevent engagement with the platform, there may be eligibility for a refund for the affected subscription period.
Account Cancellation: In cases where users cancel their subscription before the next billing cycle but are charged, we encourage users to review their account management and verify their cancellation status, as this could affect refund eligibility.
Incorrect Billing Amount: If users notice a discrepancy in the billed amount compared to their selected plan, they may inquire about adjustments that could lead to eligibility for a correction or refund.
Subscription Downgrades: Following a downgrade of a subscription plan, if users were charged at the previous rate due to account processing times, they might qualify for a refund of the difference for that billing cycle.
Promotional Offers: When users register under a promotional offer and do not receive the benefit due to an oversight, this may warrant a review for potential compensation or refund based on the specifics of the promotion.
Users are encouraged to review their account settings and engage with our support team for any inquiries regarding these situations to determine if they are eligible for a refund.

At GuruGo, we understand that customers may encounter various situations that necessitate a refund. Here are some realistic scenarios where users successfully claimed refunds:
Subscription Overlap: A user decided to upgrade their subscription plan mid-month. After realizing that the new plan offered features they didn’t need, they requested a refund for the additional charge. GuruGo promptly processed the refund since there was a clear misunderstanding of the billing cycle.
Service Interruption: A customer experienced unexpected downtime while using GuruGo's platform during a critical project. Upon investigation, GuruGo acknowledged the service disruption and, to ensure customer satisfaction, issued a refund for the service period affected by the interruption.
Account Downgrade: After trying the premium features for a month, a user decided to downgrade to the basic plan. They contacted GuruGo for a refund on the premium subscription that was charged for the following month.
