What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from ScholarAI
At ScholarAI, we prioritize user satisfaction and transparency regarding our services and subscription options. Users of ScholarAI have specific rights related to refunds, which may apply under certain circumstances within our subscription-based model. Understanding what situations might qualify for a refund can help manage your account effectively.
Subscription Cancellation: If you cancel your subscription during a billing cycle, you may still have access to the service until the end of that cycle. Refund eligibility in this scenario may depend on whether you are within the specified refund period outlined in our policy.
Service Availability: In cases where ScholarAI services are temporarily unavailable due to technical issues, you may be eligible for a refund for that billing period, contingent on the duration and impact of the service interruption.
Service Misalignment: If the service provided does not align with the features described at the time of subscription or our service agreements, this may be considered for a refund request on a case-by-case basis.
Billing Issues: Users encountering unexpected charges should review their subscription details thoroughly. Clarifications regarding billing discrepancies might inform whether a refund could apply for that billing cycle.
Usage Limitations: In instances where your account usage exceeds planned service limits, and this impacts functionality, you may inquire about potential adjustments or credits that could apply towards future billing.
We encourage users to reach out to our support team for personalized assistance regarding any refund inquiries. Our goal is to ensure clarity and satisfaction with the services provided by ScholarAI.
