What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Sauce
At Sauce, we strive to ensure that our users have a clear understanding of their rights and the circumstances under which they might be eligible for a refund. Our services are designed to provide seamless experiences, but we recognize that there may be situations where users find themselves seeking clarification regarding billing and account management.
Refund eligibility at Sauce is generally determined by specific aspects of your subscription or service usage. Below are scenarios that may qualify for a refund consideration:
Subscription Overlap: If you believe there has been an overlap in your subscription period that resulted in multiple charges for the same billing cycle, this situation might be eligible for a review.
Service Downtime: Should you experience a significant service interruption that impacts access to paid features, this may be a scenario where a refund could be applicable.
Account Tier Discrepancies: If there’s any confusion regarding the tier of service you subscribed to, such as being charged for a higher-tier service than intended, this may warrant further investigation and potential adjustment.
Promotional Credits: If you were promised promotional credits that were not applied to your account as expected, this might also be a situation where you could seek a resolution.
Trial Period Issues: If you enrolled in a trial period and did not receive the expected benefits or encountered issues during that time, this may also qualify for consideration.
For all refund inquiries, we encourage users to reach out to our customer support team to discuss individual circumstances.
