At Abode, we strive to provide our users with the best experience possible while utilizing our smart home security solutions. As part of this commitment, we have established specific criteria regarding users’ eligibility for refunds based on account circumstances and subscription management.

Refund eligibility may qualify under the following situations:

• Service Downtime: If users experience significant technical issues that hinder the functionality of their subscribed services, they might be eligible for a prorated refund based on the downtime.
• Account Subscription Changes: Users who opt to modify their subscription plans may find that certain changes can affect billing cycles. In cases where a downgrade results in a lower charge, this could open up eligibility for a future credit.
• Promotional Offers: Users who signed up during a promotional period may qualify for a refund if they decide to cancel their subscription within the defined period set by the promotional terms.
• Billing Errors: In the rare case that an incorrect amount is billed due to system miscalculations, users are encouraged to review their billing statements and may qualify for a correction and potential refund.
• Product Returns: For any physical products purchased, such as equipment or devices from Abode, users may be eligible for a refund if the product is returned within the specified return window and meets all return conditions.

It’s important for users to review their account status and any specific terms associated with their subscription or purchases to understand the criteria that might apply to their individual situations.

Refund claims can arise from various user interactions with abode's services. Here are some scenarios in which users successfully navigated the refund process:

• Subscription Downgrade: A user decided to downgrade their abode subscription from a premium plan to a basic plan after finding that they didn't need all the additional features. After initiating the downgrade, they noticed a slight billing discrepancy for the overlapping period. They reached out to abode's support team, who promptly issued a refund for the extra charges, ensuring smooth account management.
• Forgotten Trial Cancellation: A user signed up for a free trial but forgot to cancel it before the trial period ended. When they realized the subscription was billed, they contacted customer support to inquire about their options. The team recognized the situation and issued a refund for the trial conversion charge as a gesture of goodwill.
• Account Update Error: A user attempted to update their payment information but inadvertently paid for an additional month due to a glitch in the system. After reaching out to abode's customer care with details of the issue, the support agent was able to verify the error and processed a refund for the extra payment promptly.
• Service Upgrade Request Cancellation: A customer requested to upgrade their account to access more features but changed their mind before the upgrade was finalized. They contacted abode's support team before any new charges were applied.
