What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Truth
At Truth, we understand that managing your subscription and service usage may sometimes lead to questions regarding eligibility for refunds. Our platform offers a variety of digital services aimed at enhancing your experience, and we strive to maintain clarity about how billing works in these contexts. Below are some specific situations where users may qualify for a refund based on their account management and usage:
Involuntary Subscription Renewal: If a user decides not to continue with their subscription and has not utilized services after the renewal date, they may inquire about the possibility of a refund for that billing period.
Service Disruption: Users who experience significant interruptions in service that hinder regular access and usage may be eligible for a refund, provided the interruption falls within a specific timeframe.
Change in Service Level: If a user switches from a higher-tier subscription to a lower-tier one and experiences dissatisfaction with the lower-tier offering that impacts usage, a refund consideration may apply for the difference in service.
Account Cancellation During Free Trials: Users who cancel their subscription within the trial period may inquire about any applicable charges after the cancellation, ensuring no fees are applied when cancellation is processed timely.
We encourage users to reach out directly for any specific inquiries regarding their account status and potential refund eligibility to ensure all circumstances are considered appropriately.
