What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from newsletter
At Mondelez International, we value our users and strive to provide clarity regarding what rights you have concerning your newsletter subscription. Understanding your eligibility for a refund is important for managing your account effectively. Below are specific situations that might qualify you for a refund based on your subscription experience:
Account Overlap: If you recently subscribed and believe that your new subscription overlaps with an existing one for the same service, you may be eligible for a refund for the overlapping period.
Service Interruption: Should you experience a significant disruption in the newsletter service that prevents you from accessing content for an extended period, you might qualify for a refund for the affected subscription duration.
Technical Issues: If there are persistent technical issues that inhibit your ability to access the newsletter content effectively, you may be entitled to a refund for the duration these issues occur.
Change in Subscription Terms: Any substantial changes to the terms of your subscription that you do not agree with could prompt eligibility for a refund if they affect your access or enjoyment of the service.
Promotional Error: In cases where a promotional pricing error impacted your subscription cost, you may qualify for an adjustment or refund reflecting the correct pricing.
For any of these situations, we recommend contacting our customer support team to discuss your account and explore your eligibility for a refund. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we aim to provide assistance in managing your newsletter experience.
