What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Hoola
At Hoola, users engage with a subscription-based service that provides various digital features and benefits. Understanding your eligibility for a refund is essential as it helps in managing your account and subscription effectively. Refund eligibility may arise from specific circumstances related to the services provided and their usage.
