If you buy a subscription plan after registering for trial period, you confirm by that you used the service during trial period, tested it and you're happy with how it works.

We do not like when people register many times with different emails to use our free trials several times in a row. We treat this as abuse of our free trial.

No, we're not that greedy to hold your money if you made wrong payment, normally we're ok to refund if something was broken for you, didn't work etc. However, we

a) want to know what exactly is broken, as it may be not, and we might be able to help you get it working

b) we might not refund in cases of so-called 'unfair requests' like someone paying for our service for a month, using it without any complaint for 29 days and then ask for refund for unknown reason.

We absolutely encourage you first to try our service via free trial period before buying. Do not hurry up to pay before you tried the service for free. Make sure it does what you want it to do.
