What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Autom
At Autom, we strive to provide our users with transparent and fair service options. Understanding the various circumstances that may impact billing and subscription management is essential for our customers. Below outlines specific situations where users might be eligible for a refund:
Service Downtime: If a user experiences significant service interruptions that prevent access to features or functionality for an extended period, they may qualify for a refund for that billing cycle.
Account Management Issues: Users encountering issues with their accounts that prevent them from accessing their purchased services—despite following outlined troubleshooting procedures—could be eligible for a refund.
Subscription Downgrades: If a user decides to downgrade their subscription level and thus overpaid for an upcoming billing cycle, they may qualify for a refund for the difference in cost.
Promotional Offers: Users who engaged with a promotional offer and did not receive expected benefits due to an oversight may be eligible for a refund, dependent on the specific terms of the promotion.
Incorrectly Applied Charges: Users who believe they have been incorrectly billed within the scope of their active subscription plan can inquire about potential eligibility for a refund based on their circumstances.
In all cases, users are encouraged to review their account details and service agreements for specific terms related to refunds, as eligibility may vary based on the situation and service details.
