2. Premium Memberships
Monthly Subscriptions
For monthly premium membership subscriptions:
- You may request a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase if you haven't substantially used premium features
- After the first 14 days, we generally do not provide refunds for the current billing period
- You can cancel your subscription at any time, which will stop future billing cycles, but you will continue to have access to premium features until the end of your current billing period
Annual Subscriptions
For annual premium membership subscriptions:

Refund Eligibility for Digital Products

- Once a digital product has been downloaded, accessed, or used, it is generally not eligible for a refund due to the nature of digital goods
