Refund Policy Comparison (as of 2025)

Refund Request Considerations

• Immediate cancellation and refund: Most PDF AI services deactivate premium features instantly upon cancellation, and partial refunds for unused time are possible.
• Payment‑method differences: Card refunds take 3–5 business days, PayPal 5–7 business days, and bank transfers 7–10 business days.
• Free trial period: No refund is provided for the trial period if cancellation occurs during the free trial.
• AI summary feature: The AI summary feature stops immediately after cancellation. Usage of the feature before cancellation disqualifies the user from a refund.

Practical Checklist for Refund Requests

1. Confirm cancellation: Verify ‘Cancelled’ status in Account Settings > Subscription Management.
2. Check payment method: Ensure no subscription fee appears in card/PayPal/bank statements.
3. Review usage: Confirm whether AI summary or PDF editing features were used.
4. Contact support: Reach out if refund is delayed or denied.
5. Prepare documentation: Include cancellation confirmation, payment receipt, and usage logs.

Submitting a refund request immediately after cancellation maximizes the chance of receiving a proportional partial refund. Processing time varies by payment method, so plan accordingly.
