At Signal Foundation, our mission is to provide secure and private communication services through the Signal app. While Signal itself is a free service, users who support the foundation through donations or subscription-based contributions may have specific eligibility criteria regarding refunds.

Refund eligibility primarily relates to the support options available. Those considering a refund may want to assess their contribution status and the associated conditions. The following situations may qualify for refunds:

• Donation Refunds: If a user has made a direct donation to Signal Foundation and subsequently decides they wish to retract that contribution, they may inquire about a refund within a certain period post-donation.
• Subscription Support: Users opting for subscription-based support may review their account status if they experience service interruptions or significant changes to the subscription tiers, which could be a basis for a refund inquiry.
• Service Feedback: If a user encounters challenges using features associated with subscription support and feels their contributions did not align with the service level experienced, they might consider the option for a refund.
• Incorrect Billing Amounts: For users who find discrepancies in the amounts charged versus what was agreed upon at the time of subscription or donation, they could assess their situation for potential eligibility for a refund.

Users are encouraged to reach out to our support team for clarifications regarding their accounts and to explore any possible eligibility for refunds based on the specific circumstances mentioned above.

At Signal Foundation, users interact with our services in various ways, and occasionally they may need to navigate issues related to their subscriptions or accounts. Below are some realistic scenarios where users successfully claimed refunds, illustrating common situations faced by our community.

• A user upgraded their subscription to a higher tier but decided it was not the right fit. After reaching out to customer support for assistance, they promptly received a refund for the upgrade, which was processed according to Signal Foundation's policy.
• A user experienced a temporary service interruption during a critical period of use. After confirming the issue was resolved, they contacted support to inquire about the billing for that month. The team offered a refund for the downtime, which helped maintain the user's trust in the service.
• A subscriber realized they had been billed twice due to a glitch in the payment system. Upon reporting the issue, Signal Foundation's support team verified the situation and quickly issued a refund for the extra charge, ensuring the user felt valued and supported.
• A user sought clarification on a charge that appeared on their statement that they did not recognize. After an easy inquiry with customer service, it was confirmed to be an annual plan renewal.
