DarkTrend Subscription Guide: Authorization, Free Trial Terms, Billing Procedures, Cancellation Process, and Specific Refund Policies:
Subscription Authorization: Upon ordering any subscription on DarkTrend.com, including a free trial period, you affirm that you have carefully read and accepted our Terms of Use. By doing so, you grant DarkTrend authorization to automatically charge your bank card or PayPal account according to the billing period you have manually selected.
Free Trial and Conversion: DarkTrend reserves the right to offer a free trial period for its services. During this trial, users may access certain features for a specified duration. If the trial is not canceled before its expiration date, it automatically converts to a monthly or annual paid plan, depending on the user’s choice. Refunds for monthly plans are not available, even if the subscription is canceled on the same day as the autoconversion payment. Refunds are solely applicable after automatic deductions for annual payments, within 14 calendar days after payment, except for users who have initiated chargebacks, disputes, or claims. Payments made to third parties, such as Data Providers, are non-refundable, and refund requests related to third-party services should be directed to the respective providers. #3. Billing and Renewal: DarkTrend charges for its services in advance on a monthly, annual, or 2-year basis. No refunds or credits will be issued for partial months of service or unused months, as long as your user account remains active. In the event of an auto-renewal failure for an annual plan, the subscription will automatically convert to a monthly plan. Billing is recurring until you take the initiative to cancel your DarkTrend subscription, a process that can be completed via the billing section of your profile page. #4. Subscription Cancellation: The responsibility for canceling your DarkTrend subscription rests with you. To initiate a cancellation, you must follow the procedure outlined in the billing section of your profile page. Please note that sending an email request or a support ticket is not considered a valid cancellation method. If you decide to cancel your subscription before the current paid-up period expires, your subscription will remain active until the next due date. Failure to make a payment by the due date will result in the termination of your subscription. #5. Refund Policy: DarkTrend does not provide refunds for initial payments, recurring monthly payments, or upgrades to higher-priced plans or extended billing cycles. However, refunds are available upon request for recurring annual and 2-year payments within 14 calendar days of the payment date. It’s important to note that refunds will not be issued in the event of an account ban resulting from a violation of the terms of service. #6.
