What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from mailing list
At CHSSC.org, users have specific rights regarding subscriptions to our mailing list services. Understanding these rights will help you navigate your account and any potential refund scenarios with clarity. Refund eligibility is mainly determined by your subscription status, plan type, and specific circumstances surrounding your account management.
Here are some situations that may qualify for a refund:
Cancellations within the Refund Period: If you cancel your subscription during the designated refund period, you may be eligible for a refund for the most recent billing cycle.
Service Disruption: In the event of an extended disruption to the mailing list service that significantly impacts your user experience, you might be eligible for a refund for the time period affected.
Billing Errors: If you notice a discrepancy in your billing that doesn't align with your subscription plan, you may be able to qualify for a refund for the amount in question.
Plan Changes: If you have upgraded or downgraded your subscription plan and experience mismatched billing, this may qualify you for an adjustment or refund based on the new plan's terms.
For any specific questions regarding your account or to inquire about potential refunds, please refer to your account management resources or contact our support team.
