What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Proteus
At Proteus, we understand that ensuring clarity around billing and refund eligibility is crucial for our users. As a provider of digital services aimed at enhancing personal health management, we strive to be transparent about the circumstances under which users may qualify for a refund. Refund eligibility at Proteus is not based on any errors or issues but rather on account management inquiries and service considerations specific to our offerings.
Subscription Cancellation: Users who cancel their subscription before the end of their billing cycle may be eligible for a refund if they have not utilized the service following the cancellation date.
Service Discontinuation: In the rare case that a service feature becomes unavailable due to reasons beyond the user's control, users may inquire about a potential refund for the unused portion of their subscription.
Account Upgrades or Downgrades: Users who adjust their subscription plan mid-cycle may qualify for a refund for the difference in cost, depending on the timing and nature of the change.
Service Quality Issues: If a user experiences ongoing issues that significantly impair their ability to use the service and the issues have been documented and not addressed, they might be considered for a refund under specific circumstances.
Trial Periods: Users who subscribe during a trial period and decide to discontinue the service before the trial concludes may be eligible for a refund for any charges incurred after the trial period.
For any of these situations, it is important for users to review their account settings and subscription details, and to reach out to our support team for clarification on potential eligibility for a refund based on their unique circumstances.
