What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Phantom
At Phantom, users have specific rights and eligibility for refunds based on the nature of our digital wallet service and subscription options. Understanding these rights can help clarify when users may qualify for a refund based on their account circumstances.
Subscription Management: Users with a subscription might be eligible for a refund if they have encountered issues accessing features that are part of their plan due to service outages or technical difficulties that prevent usage.
Subscription Cancellations: If a user cancels their subscription and does not wish to continue beyond the current billing cycle, they are encouraged to manage their account settings accordingly. However, should there be any confusion regarding the timing of the cancellation and the corresponding billing, this may warrant a review for potential eligibility.
