What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Synap
At Synap, users engage with a platform designed to enhance their learning experience through a variety of services and products. Understanding your rights regarding refunds is crucial for effectively managing your subscription and access to our resources. Users may have the opportunity to request a refund under specific circumstances related to their accounts and service usage.
Refund eligibility may apply in the following scenarios:
Subscription Cancellation Prior to Renewal: If a user cancels their subscription before the next billing cycle, they may be eligible for a refund for any charges incurred post-cancellation if the cancellation was successfully processed before the renewal date.
Service Disruption: In instances where users experience significant disruptions in service accessibility due to technical issues, they may qualify for a prorated refund based on the duration of the outage.
Billing Errors: If there are discrepancies related to the billed amount or subscription tier that do not align with the user's selections and preferences, users may inquire about potential credits or refunds for the affected billing period.
Incorrect Course Access: Users who inadvertently purchase access to a course they do not wish to attend may potentially be eligible for a refund within a specified window after the purchase, provided the course has not been initiated.
Inapplicable Subscription Features: If certain promised features of a subscription are not accessible due to unforeseen circumstances, users might be eligible for a refund proportional to the value of the services not rendered during that subscription period.
For any inquiries regarding refund eligibility, users are encouraged to reach out to Synap's support team, who can provide personalized assistance based on your account specifics.
