What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Pending Protection
At Pending Protection, we strive to provide our users with clear clarity regarding their rights and eligibility for refunds. Users may find themselves seeking refunds under specific circumstances related to their account and subscription status. Understanding these scenarios can help navigate the billing process smoothly.
Subscription Termination: If you have initiated a termination of your subscription and you have been charged for a renewal period that you no longer wish to access, you may qualify for a prorated refund for the unused portion of your service.
Service Disruption: In the rare event that you experience a service disruption that affects your ability to utilize the services for an extended period, this situation may be eligible for a refund based on the length and impact of the disruption.
Billing Clarification Requests: If you have a question regarding a specific billing cycle and feel that there has been an oversight or require clarification about your charges, you might be eligible for adjustments that could lead to a refund depending on the circumstances.
Account Downgrade: If you have downgraded your account services and were charged at a higher tier inadvertently during the transition, you may qualify for a refund corresponding to the difference in service level fees.
Account Status Changes: In cases where there has been a change in your account status (such as a transition from a trial to a paid subscription) and you believe this change was not communicated effectively, you may be eligible to discuss a refund for any unutilized services.
