Refund policy
Short version: seven days from the first charge, no reason needed. One e-mail is enough. You don't have to argue or fill in a form.
1. The seven-day window
If you ask within seven calendar days of the first charge on a subscription, it is refunded in full, including any tax paid. That applies whether the charge was the $0.50 CAD trial or a first monthly payment.
Ask by writing from the e-mail address on the account to hello@alfaprotek.com with "Refund" in the subject. No reason is required, though one is useful.
2. Renewals
A renewal is refunded in full if no reading was delivered during that billing period. If a reading was delivered, the renewal can still be refunded inside seven days of the charge while the reading is unused — meaning you haven't sent a brief yet.
3. What is not refunded
- A renewal period in which a reading was delivered and the brief was sent.
- Extra readings, once the report has been written and sent.
- Requests made more than seven days after the charge, except where the service was materially not delivered — a reading more than 72 hours late through our fault, for example.
- Tax already remitted on a period that falls outside the window, where the tax authority doesn't allow a credit.
These are the house rules, not a ceiling. They sit on top of your statutory rights as a consumer under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002 and equivalent provincial law, which apply regardless.
4. How to ask, step by step
- E-mail hello@alfaprotek.com from the account address, subject "Refund".
- Include the date of the charge and the last four digits of the card if you have them.
- You'll get a confirmation within one business day, Monday to Friday.
- The refund is issued to the same card within two business days of that confirmation.
- The card issuer usually posts it within 5–10 business days. That leg is outside our control.
5. After a refund
Access ends when the refund is issued. Readings already delivered stay available for seven days so you can save them, then the account closes. A refunded subscription can be restarted later at the standard price; the $0.50 trial is once per customer.
6. Chargebacks
If you've asked for a refund, wait the two business days before opening a chargeback — a chargeback freezes the same amount and the two processes can collide. If a chargeback is opened, the account is paused until it resolves.
7. Billing errors
A duplicate charge, a wrong amount or a charge after cancellation is refunded in full and the cause fixed, whatever the date. Send the details and it's handled the same day it's seen.
