To prevent abuse of the refund policy, the following restrictions apply:

• Monthly Pro subscribers may request a refund within 24 hours of purchase.
• Annual Pro subscribers may request a refund within 72 hours of purchase.
• Refunds will not be granted in the following cases:
  • The user continues using the advanced features of the Pro subscription or has extensively used the Pro privileges.

  • Refund requests made after the allowed time limit (24 hours for monthly or 72 hours for annual).

Key Points to Prevent Abuse

• Restrict account sharing, ensuring that Pro subscriptions are for individual use only and not transferred to others.
• Refund time limits are in place to prevent users from abusing the policy by using Pro features and then requesting a refund.
• Refund request conditions clearly define what constitutes legitimate reasons for a refund (e.g., no refund if Pro features are extensively used).
• Abuse of refund policy will lead to a permanent ban from the Service if a user attempts to exploit the refund process maliciously.
• Pro privileges may be adjusted in the future, and users are not entitled to retain any specific feature indefinitely.
