What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Autopilot
At Autopilot, we understand that our users may need clarification regarding their rights and eligibility for refunds. Our platform primarily offers subscription services, which means that billing is often recurring and linked to the account management choices made by users. While all charges are processed in accordance with your chosen subscription plan, there are certain situations that may qualify for a refund. Below are specific scenarios that could apply:
Service Non-Delivery: If you experience an issue where the service you subscribed to is not functional or accessible, you may be eligible for a refund for the affected period.
Plan Downgrade: If you decide to downgrade your subscription plan and the change was intended to take effect immediately, you may qualify for a pro-rated refund for the previous higher tier.
Billing Mistakes: In the event of an incorrect charge related to a subscription feature you did not select, this situation might warrant a review for refund eligibility.
Account Termination: Should your account be terminated by Autopilot under specific circumstances, you might be eligible for a refund for any unused portion of your subscription.
We encourage users to reach out to our support team for detailed assistance regarding their specific circumstances and to understand their eligibility based on any unique account management decisions or subscription inquiries.
