Refund Policy

This policy is designed to be fair and reasonable, ensuring that customers feel secure in their transactions with Chatbudds, while also protecting the company from potential abuse of the refund process.

1. Trial Period

Chatbudds offers a 14-day free trial for new users, during which they can explore the Basic Plan features available on the platform along with a 14-day free trial of Chatbot Flows (add-on). Since no credit card is required to start the trial and users are not charged.

2. Subscription Services

Following the free trial, if a user subscribes to any of Chatbudds’s paid services, they are ineligible to receive a refund. The FREE trial is provided to ensure that the users try out all the services and decide whether to continue with the Chatbudds platform. If the user feels unsatisfied, they can cancel their FREE Trial anytime and they will not be charged. If the user has subscribed to any Chatbudds plan, they are not eligible for a refund. They can cancel their subscription to ensure they are not charged the next month. 

3. Non-Refundable Services

All Chatbudds services, such as the charges for a Chatbudds Plan, WhatsApp Conversation Credits (WCCs), Add-ons, or any third-party integrations, are non-refundable due to the nature of the service and the costs incurred by Chatbudds to provide these services. This includes one-time Chatbot development and other one-time setup payments. 

4. Technical Issues

If a user experiences continuous technical issues that prevent them from using the service effectively, and if these issues are verified by Chatbudds’s support team, a partial or full refund may be granted at Chatbudds’s discretion.

5. Unauthorized Charges

In the case of unauthorized or fraudulent charges, users should contact Chatbudds support immediately. If such claims are verified, Chatbudds will issue a full refund.

6. Cancellation Policy

A user may cancel their subscription at any time. However, the cancellation will be effective at the end of the current billing cycle, and users will not receive a refund for the remaining period of the subscription, except under special circumstances that will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

7. Contact and Support

For any refund-related queries, users are encouraged to contact Chatbudds’s customer support team, which is committed to providing efficient and personalized assistance.
