What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Studeo
At Studeo, we strive to provide our users with valuable educational resources and tools. Understanding your eligibility for a refund is important, and it primarily depends on your specific circumstances regarding our subscription services. Here are some key situations that might qualify for a refund:
Subscription Downgrade: If you've downgraded your subscription level but notice a charge reflective of the previous tier, you may be eligible for a refund on the difference.
Service Interruption: In cases where a significant disruption in service occurred beyond our scheduled maintenance, you may qualify for a refund of that billing period.
Account Mismanagement: If you believe you are being charged for a service you did not actively use due to account management issues, this may be a basis for refund eligibility.
Promotion Applicability: If there was an applicable promotional offer that was not automatically applied to your subscription, you might be eligible for a refund reflecting the promotional discount.
Billing Frequency Changes: Adjustments in expected billing frequency that were not communicated effectively could lead to eligibility for a refund for the overcharged period.
For any of these situations, it is best to review your account details and reach out to our support team for clarification on your eligibility for a refund.
