What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Shopify Sync
At Shopify Sync, we strive to provide exceptional service to our users. Understanding your rights regarding refunds is an essential part of managing your account effectively. Refund eligibility largely depends on the specific nature of the services used and your account circumstances.
Below are scenarios where users may qualify for a refund:
Underutilized Subscription Plans: If you subscribed to a plan that you found was not utilized to its full potential within a specific billing period, you might be eligible for a review of your situation.
Service Not Delivered: In the unlikely event that a service feature or function was promised but not delivered in the terms specified, this could qualify for a refund consideration.
Early Termination of an Annual Subscription: If you choose to end an annual subscription prematurely due to changes in your business needs, a partial refund review might apply based on your usage up to the cancellation date.
Technical Issues: If you experienced significant, documented technical issues that impacted the service offered and were unable to resolve them through our support channels, you may inquire about a refund.
Account Migration or Changes: If you underwent an agreed-upon account migration but did not receive the expected functionalities as described, eligibility for a refund could be reviewed based on your specific circumstances.
For further details or to discuss your particular situation, please reach out to our support team, who can assist in clarifying your options based on your account details.
