At Trustpilot, users have specific rights regarding their subscription services and billing practices. Understanding these rights can help users determine if they may qualify for a refund based on their circumstances. Trustpilot primarily provides a platform for businesses to collect customer reviews, with various subscription tiers that come with unique features and billing practices.

Refund eligibility may arise in the following situations:

• Service Downtime: Users may be eligible for a refund if they experience extended periods of service downtime that prevent them from accessing their subscription features in a meaningful way.
• Cancellation Timing: If a user cancels their subscription and their billing cycle overlaps with their cancellation date, they might qualify for a prorated refund based on the remaining services expected after cancellation.
• Plan Discrepancies: Users who believe they have been billed for a subscription plan that differs from what they selected during the signup process may be able to request a review of their billing for potential refunds or adjustments.
• Payment Processing Errors: In the event of a processing error that results in an incorrect charge, users could inquire about receiving a refund for the amount in question upon verification of the issue.

Users are encouraged to review their account management settings and billing history to understand better their eligibility and inquire about refunds when necessary.

On Trustpilot, users sometimes find themselves needing to navigate their subscription services and billing inquiries. Below are several real user scenarios illustrating how refunds were successfully claimed:

• Subscription Upgrade Adjustments: A user recently upgraded their Trustpilot package to a higher tier to leverage additional features. After realizing that the enhanced features were not required for their business needs, they contacted customer support. After explaining their situation, the support team promptly assisted in downgrading their subscription and issued a refund for the difference in price for the current billing cycle.
• Accidental Account Renewal: A small business owner intended to evaluate their subscription options but found themselves inadvertently renewing their Trustpilot account. Upon reaching out to the support team, they detailed the oversight and requested a refund. The Trustpilot team swiftly acknowledged the situation and processed a full refund as a courtesy for the misunderstanding.
• Billing Cycle Clarification: A user was confused about their billing cycle and thought they had been charged for two months instead of one. After submitting a support ticket for clarification, Trustpilot's team provided a breakdown of their billing history. As a result of the detailed explanation, they confirmed it was indeed a standard monthly charge and, as a goodwill gesture, issued a small refund reflecting an earlier promotional offer that had not been applied correctly.
• Service Adjustment Requests: A user contacted Trustpilot after realizing that their needs had changed and they no longer required their current subscription level. After discussing their new requirements with customer service, the team not only helped them change their plan but also facilitated a refund for the unused portion of the previous subscription period, ensuring a smooth transition.
