What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from VERITAS
At VERITAS, we are committed to providing our users with a transparent understanding of their rights regarding billing and refunds. Our services, which include data protection and management solutions, operate on a subscription-based model. As such, users may have questions regarding eligibility for refunds based on their subscription status and service usage.
Subscription Cancellation: Users who cancel their subscription prior to the end of the billing cycle may be eligible for a prorated refund based on the time remaining in their subscription period.
Service Downtime: In instances where the VERITAS service experiences significant downtime that affects users' ability to utilize the service, users may request a review for potential refund eligibility for that period.
Service Change Requests: If users request a downgrade of their subscription plan and the change is processed mid-cycle, they may qualify for a credit or refund for the difference in pricing towards future billing.
Trial Periods: Users who participate in promotional trial periods of the VERITAS service and decide to cancel before converting to a paid subscription do not incur charges and thus do not pursue refunds.
Charge Discrepancies: Should users notice any discrepancies in their billing associated with their subscription, they can reach out for clarification and potential adjustments.
Understanding these scenarios can help users navigate their subscription effectively and address any concerns they may have regarding their billing with VERITAS.

Real User Scenarios: When and How Refunds Were Successfully Claimed
At VERITAS, users often navigate various account management and service inquiries. Here are several realistic scenarios where users successfully claimed refunds based on their specific situations:
Subscription Plan Adjustment: A user initially subscribed to a premium data backup service but later decided they needed a more basic plan. After assessing their usage, they contacted VERITAS support within the allowed timeframe, requesting a transition to a lower tier. The support team efficiently processed the request and issued a refund for the difference in pricing for the month, ensuring the user was only charged for the services utilized.
Accidental Double Renewal: A customer utilizing the VERITAS cloud storage service realized they had accidentally renewed their subscription for two different accounts on the same day. They reached out to customer support to clarify their account status and acknowledged the redundancy. VERITAS promptly confirmed the situation and reversed the duplicate charge, providing clarity on account renewals moving forward.
Temporary Service Hiccup: A business relying on VERITAS’s backup solutions experienced an unexpected service interruption due to scheduled maintenance that lasted longer than anticipated. The user contacted support, expressing their concerns regarding the downtime's impact. In appreciation of their understanding, VERITAS offered a partial refund for that billing cycle, reinforcing their commitment to customer satisfaction.
Mistaken License Purchase: A user intended to purchase a single license for a data recovery tool but unintentionally completed two separate transactions. After contacting VERITAS support and explaining the oversight, the team was able to verify the situation and promptly process a refund for the additional license, helping the user manage their software expenses effectively.
