Will I get a refund?

Your consumer rights in Singapore
Overview of local protections
Singapore consumer law (for example the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act) can provide remedies where services are defective, not as described, or misrepresented.
How this applies to subscriptions
Even if a vendor states subscriptions are non-refundable, you may have rights to a reasonable refund in cases of fault or misrepresentation under Singapore law.
For App Store and Google Play purchases, platform policies apply; you may also have statutory recourse through local consumer protection frameworks.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users have praised Genei for saving time in research workflows and for efficient summarisation (GetApp Singapore, December 2022). Capterra listings show high satisfaction in user scores.
Negative feedback
Some users report unexpected charges after attempting cancellation during trials and issues with specific features like missing attribution or abstract extraction (reported on review sites).
For public reviews see Genei's Trustpilot page: Trustpilot - Genei.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Account email and username used with Genei.
- Order receipt, transaction ID or billing statement showing the charge.
- Dates of purchase, cancellation attempts and any trial-period screenshots.
- Device/store used for purchase (Web, Apple App Store, Google Play).
Where to send evidence
- For web purchases, refer to Genei's Terms of Use and support channels on genei.io.
- For Apple purchases, use Apple's help and Report a Problem portal: Apple Support.
- For Google Play, use the Google Play refund process as described in store support pages.
Common mistakes
Mistaken expectations
Assuming an immediate refund after cancelling is common; Genei's web terms state no refunds for subscription fees, though platform refunds follow their own rules.
Expecting Genei to cancel App Store or Google Play purchases for you can cause delays; you must cancel in the store.
Technical and timing errors
Failing to cancel the correct account, or after the renewal date, often leads to unwanted charges. Keep renewal dates and the purchasing platform clear.
Not saving receipts or proof of attempted cancellation can make disputes harder to resolve.
