At August, we value transparency and want our users to understand their rights regarding eligibility for refunds for our subscription-based services and products. Users typically have the opportunity to request refunds based on specific scenarios related to their subscription management and account status.

The following situations may qualify for refunds or credits:

• Service Malfunction: If users experience a confirmed malfunction of the August services and are unable to access functionality that has been paid for, they may have grounds to discuss eligibility for a refund.
• Subscription Issues: Users who believe there has been an inconsistency in billing or a misunderstanding regarding subscription terms may find that their circumstances are eligible for a review.
• Account Deactivation: If a user has opted to deactivate their account but finds they were charged for a subsequent billing cycle before the deactivation processed, they might be able to inquire about a possible refund based on the timing of account changes.
• Product Returns: For any physical products purchased through August, if the items are returned according to the return policy guidelines, users may qualify for a refund upon satisfying the policy conditions.

Users are encouraged to reach out to our support team with specific questions about their accounts, as each situation may have unique considerations for eligibility.

At August, we understand that managing subscriptions and services can sometimes lead to unexpected situations. Here are some real user scenarios where customers successfully claimed refunds:

• Subscription Overlap: A user realized they had accidentally subscribed to two different plans for the same service after receiving a detailed billing statement. Upon contacting August's support team, they provided proof of the confusion, and the duplicate charge was promptly refunded.
• Billing Inquiry During Plan Change: When a user decided to switch from a monthly to a yearly subscription to save on costs, they noticed a charge for the monthly plan applied on the same day. After reaching out to support with their request, they received a refund for the monthly charge, as per their request for the yearly plan.
• Account Reactivation Mistake: After a user paused their subscription, they accidentally reactivated it while trying to explore new features. They reached out to August’s customer service, explaining the situation, and were able to reverse the most recent charge, receiving a full refund.
• Delayed Service Access: A user experienced a temporary service disruption during a crucial period, which affected their planned activities. After communicating their experience with the support team, they received a goodwill refund for the downtime, allowing them to continue enjoying August’s services without worry.
