5. Refund Policy

• Monthly plans: All monthly charges are final. You may cancel at any time; your access continues until the end of the current billing period with no refund issued for unused days.
• Annual plans: If you cancel an annual subscription, you are eligible for a prorated refund of the unused portion of your billing year, provided at least 7 days remain in your current period. Refunds are calculated as: (days remaining ÷ total days in period) × amount paid.
• How to request: Annual plan refunds can be requested directly from your Account page. The refund will be returned to your original payment method within 5–10 business days depending on your bank.
• Trial periods: If you cancel during a free trial before providing a payment method, no charge is made and no refund is required.
