What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from CDI
At CDI, we value our users and strive to ensure satisfaction with our services. Eligibility for refunds is based on specific circumstances related to our subscription and service offerings. Understanding these scenarios can help you determine if you may qualify for a refund.
Service Interruptions: If there were significant interruptions to the service during your subscription period that affected your usage experience, you might be eligible for a refund.
Payment Processing Errors: In cases where there was a verified billing discrepancy, such as an incorrect amount charged for a service, you could potentially qualify for a refund.
Account Management Issues: If you encountered difficulties that prevented you from utilizing the service as intended—such as issues related to account access or subscription management—these situations may warrant a review for potential refunds.
Trial Periods: If you opted for a free trial period and did not intend to continue with a paid subscription but were charged after the trial ended, a review of your account status might indicate eligibility for a refund.
Service Cancellation: Users who have properly canceled their subscription under the guidelines of our cancellation policy may be considered for a refund based on the timing of the cancellation relative to billing cycles.
Each situation is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we encourage you to contact our support team for a detailed review of your specific circumstances related to refunds.
