What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from month
At Month, we strive to provide our users with a flexible and user-centric subscription service that enhances their financial planning through monthly budgeting tools and insights. Understanding your eligibility for a refund is important, especially as it relates to your subscription status and account management. Below are specific circumstances related to Month’s services that may qualify you for a refund:
Account Deactivation: If your account is deactivated within the billing cycle without usage of the premium features, you may be eligible for a refund for that billing period.
Trial Period Feedback: Should you decide that our service does not meet your expectations during the trial period and formalize your cancellation, you could be eligible for a full refund of any subscription fees incurred after the trial period.
Service Downtime: In the rare event of an extended service disruption that prevents you from accessing core functionality, you might qualify for a prorated refund corresponding to the time of service unavailability.
Billing Errors: If you identify discrepancies in your billing statement that do not align with your agreed subscription plan or usage, there may be a process in place that allows for reimbursement of those amounts.
Change in Subscription Plan: If you upgrade or downgrade your subscription plan mid-cycle, you may have options regarding how changes in charges are handled, potentially affecting your eligibility for refunds on a prorated basis.
We encourage you to review your account details and reach out to our support team if you have questions regarding your specific situation or believe you may be eligible for a refund based on these criteria.
