The same purchase was charged more than once
If we confirm a duplicate charge for the same transaction, we may reverse the duplicate billing or otherwise correct the payment error.
This Refund Policy explains how ExamCrow [Legal Entity Name] (“ExamCrow”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles refund requests, cancellations, billing reversals, subscription stops, and credit decisions for products and services purchased through our website, apps, or other authorized channels that link to this page.
Direct website purchases, Apple-billed purchases, Google Play purchases, and institution / partner purchases may follow different refund and cancellation routes.
This summary is for convenience only. The detailed sections below control if there is any conflict.
Refund handling depends first on where you bought: directly from ExamCrow, through Apple, through Google Play, or through a third-party partner or institution.
Stopping future renewals and obtaining money back are separate actions in many billing systems and should not be treated as the same request.
Where legally permitted, we may deny or limit refunds if access has been substantially consumed, credentials shared, content downloaded inappropriately, or the policy is being abused.
Nothing in this policy removes any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you under law, including rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
No general money-back guarantee is offered unless a refund right is expressly stated at checkout, in an offer, or required by applicable law.
If a specific plan, offer, promotional campaign, annual membership, exam-related product, bundle, trial, or partner program clearly states a different refund rule at checkout or in separate offer terms, that specific rule controls for that purchase.
Nothing in this policy limits any non-waivable statutory rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection, payment, subscription, or e-commerce law.
A cancellation request and a refund request are not always the same thing. In many billing systems, cancellation stops future renewals, while a refund request asks for reversal of a charge that has already been processed.
This section applies to purchases made directly through ExamCrow or our authorized direct billing workflow, and not to purchases billed through Apple, Google Play, or another third-party channel.
If you offer a direct refund window, state it clearly here: [insert exact refund window if you offer one]. If you do not offer a general direct refund window, leave the overview rule above in place and do not promise one here.
To request a review of a direct purchase, contact billing@[your-domain].com or use our contact page and include:
Where legally permitted, we may require reasonable verification before acting on a refund request, especially where fraud, duplicate claims, or account-access issues are involved.
If you are on a recurring plan, you may usually cancel before the next billing cycle so that future renewals stop.
Unless the applicable law or offer terms state otherwise, cancellation generally preserves access until the end of the paid billing period already charged, but does not automatically entitle you to a refund for the current billing period.
If your plan was purchased through Google Play or Apple, you may also need to cancel it using the relevant platform’s subscription-management flow.
Subscription regulators and app-store systems treat “cancel” and “refund” as different outcomes.
A user can cancel a plan and still remain billed for the current cycle if that cycle has already started, unless a separate refund right applies.
If your business later introduces free trials, annual renewals, family plans, enterprise seats, or installment commitments, the offer terms for those products should state the specific cancellation and refund consequences in clear language at checkout.
This is one of the most important distinctions in any digital-product refund policy.
If your purchase was billed by Apple, Apple generally controls subscription cancellation and refund requests through its own support and billing system.
Canceling the subscription and requesting a refund are separate actions in Apple’s system, and a cancellation alone does not by itself guarantee money back for a processed renewal charge.
Users should check Apple’s official billing and subscription support flow for the relevant Apple ID used for the purchase.
If your purchase was billed by Google Play, Google Play may control the cancellation and refund route for that transaction.
Google’s billing documentation distinguishes a subscription cancellation from a refund: stopping renewal does not itself reverse a charge that has already been processed.
Where applicable, users should use the Google Play purchase-refund or subscription-management workflow associated with the Google account used for the purchase.
If access was paid for or provisioned by a school, employer, sponsor, reseller, or third-party partner, the refund or cancellation terms of that channel may control, and you may need to contact that party first.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may deny, limit, or provide a credit instead of a cash refund in circumstances such as:
If you decide to use account credits as an optional or fallback remedy, your Terms of Service should also explain how those credits work, whether they expire, and whether they are transferable.
A defensible refund policy should not be rigid to the point of unfairness, especially in payment-error, duplicate-charge, or outage scenarios.
If we confirm a duplicate charge for the same transaction, we may reverse the duplicate billing or otherwise correct the payment error.
If a serious service failure prevented meaningful access and could not be resolved within a reasonable time, we may extend access, issue credit, or provide another remedy consistent with law and the offer terms.
We may ask for supporting information and may direct you to use your payment-provider, app-store, or bank dispute process where appropriate, while we investigate internally.
If a refund is approved, we generally issue it back to the original payment method used for the purchase unless:
Typical internal processing estimate: [insert your typical processing timeline, e.g. 5-10 business days after approval]. However, actual posting time depends on the payment processor, issuing bank, app store, card network, or other intermediaries involved.
If your payment was made through Apple or Google Play, the timing of any approved refund may depend entirely on that platform’s own review and payout process.
If you believe there is a billing mistake, duplicate charge, unauthorized transaction, or refund denial error, please contact us first at billing@[your-domain].com and give us a reasonable opportunity to review the issue.
If you raise a chargeback or payment dispute through your bank, card issuer, app store, or payment provider before contacting us, we may suspend or limit access to the affected paid service while the dispute is under review, to the extent permitted by law.
Users in India may also have consumer-grievance routes under the Consumer Protection framework and, where relevant, banking / payment grievance routes through the Reserve Bank of India’s complaint and ombudsman systems for regulated entities.
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, billing channels, product structure, checkout disclosures, or support operations.
When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where required by law, provide additional notice.
