What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from ExACT
At ExACT, we prioritize ensuring a seamless experience for our users, and understanding your rights regarding refunds is an essential part of that commitment. The nature of our services revolves around educational resources and assessment tools designed to facilitate learning. Given this unique setup, refund eligibility is evaluated based on specific user circumstances rather than on transactional discrepancies.
The following situations may qualify users for a refund from ExACT:

Service Not Rendered: In instances where a user has subscribed to a service but is unable to access it due to technical difficulties not resolved within a reasonable timeframe, this situation may qualify for a refund.
Subscription Downgrade: If a user downgrades their subscription before the renewal date, they could be eligible for a prorated refund based on the remaining access period of the previous subscription tier.
Inaccuracy in Materials: If a user finds significant inaccuracies or outdated information in the resources provided that impacts the quality of the educational experience, they might qualify for a refund after notifying ExACT of the issue.
Ultimately, the eligibility for a refund will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific circumstances surrounding the user's account and usage of services provided by ExACT.
