At MasterClass, users have access to a variety of online courses taught by renowned experts across different fields. Subscription services come with specific eligibility criteria regarding billing and refunds, shaped by the nature of digital content delivery. While enjoying the expansive library of classes, users may encounter situations that impact their refund eligibility.

Here are some circumstances where users might be eligible for a refund or a subscription adjustment:

• Subscription Downgrade: If a user decides to downgrade their subscription level, they may be eligible for a prorated refund based on the remaining subscription period of the higher-tier plan.
• Failure to Access Content: Instances where users are unable to access purchased content due to technical issues may be evaluated for potential refunds, ensuring users can fully engage with the service they paid for.
