What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from leap
At Leap, we strive to provide our users with a seamless experience and understand that there are specific situations related to our services that may lead to inquiries about potential refunds. Our offerings are centered around subscription-based access to digital content and features. As such, users may find themselves in various scenarios that could affect their eligibility for a refund.
Subscription Cancellation: If you have canceled your subscription prior to the next billing cycle, your account may not incur further charges, and you might be eligible for a refund for any unused portion of your current billing period.
Service Not Delivered: In cases where you have not received access to the subscribed content or features for which you paid, you may be eligible for a refund. This situation pertains specifically to disruptions that prevent access within the billing period.
Unintentional Billing: If your account has been billed during a period when you believe the subscription was inactive or not applicable, you could inquire about eligibility for a refund based on recent account management changes.
Errors in Billing Amount: If you notice discrepancies in the billed amount compared to the agreed subscription rate, you might consider checking your account details and discussing potential adjustments that could lead to a refund.
Account Access Issues: If you are facing persistent technical difficulties that inhibit your access to the service, this may qualify for a refund discussion, depending on the duration and extent of the issues experienced.
Please note that each request for a refund will be evaluated based on the specific details of the situation to ensure fair consideration within the framework of our policies.
