At HOME, we aim to provide clarity and accessibility regarding your eligibility for refunds. Given our unique offerings in the hookah and lifestyle market, understanding refund scenarios can help you navigate your account and billing effectively.

Account Termination: If you decide to terminate your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund for any remaining days in your billing cycle, contingent upon the terms of your subscription agreement.
We encourage you to review your account details and the respective terms for your purchases or subscriptions to determine your eligibility for a refund effectively.
