Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Refund eligibility depends on where you bought the subscription (App Store, Google Play, or Web) and the provider’s rules.
Exceptions and cooling-off
- 14-day cooling-off right: In some circumstances consumers may have a 14-day right to cancel and obtain a refund; check local rules and the seller’s terms.
- No refunds after use: Many providers do not refund after the service has been used; this is a common condition for digital services.
