What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from MBI
At MBI, we understand that our users may have various circumstances that affect their subscriptions and billing. We strive to ensure clarity in our policies regarding refunds, and users may be interested in understanding their eligibility based on specific situations related to the services we provide. Refund eligibility can depend on various factors related to account management, subscription status, and specific service inquiries.
Subscription Cancellation: If you have cancelled your subscription prior to the renewal date, you may be eligible for a refund for unused service for that billing cycle.
Service Disruptions: In instances where there has been an unexpected disruption in access to our services, users may be eligible for a refund proportional to the time affected.
Inaccurate Billing Amounts: If you notice a discrepancy in the billed amount that does not align with your subscription plan, you may qualify for a refund after clarification of the charges.
Account Downgrades: If you have chosen to downgrade your subscription plan, you might be eligible for a refund of the difference in fees for the current billing period.
Promotional Credits: If a promotional credit was incorrectly applied to your account, users could be eligible for an adjustment or refund based on the credit terms.
We encourage users to review their account settings, subscription details, and any communication from us to better understand their eligibility for refunds under these specific circumstances.
