What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Hero
At Hero, we prioritize user satisfaction and understand that circumstances may arise where users seek clarification regarding their eligibility for refunds. We offer a platform that enables users to manage subscriptions and services efficiently. Users may have certain rights related to refunds based on their specific account management and subscription status. The following scenarios may qualify users for a refund:
Service Interruption: In the event of an unexpected service disruption or unavailability of features that significantly impact the user experience, users might be eligible for a refund corresponding to the duration of the disruption.
Subscription Overlap: If a user experiences a situation where multiple subscriptions are active simultaneously due to account management choices, they may reach out for clarification and, under certain circumstances, might be eligible for a pro-rated refund.
Account Downgrade: When a user has downgraded their subscription plan, they may qualify for a refund on the remaining unused days of the previous subscription tier, depending on the timing of the downgrade.
Service Cancellation: Users who cancel their subscriptions prior to the next billing cycle may qualify for a refund for the unused portion of their subscription, subject to the terms outlined in their account settings.
