Refund Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

At StanedX, we strive to provide high-quality content and services. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds may be issued and the procedures for requesting them. Please read this policy carefully before making any purchases or payments.

1. General Policy

StanedX primarily operates as a free information and news platform. However, we may offer premium content, subscriptions, digital products, or services that require payment. This Refund Policy applies to all paid transactions conducted through our website.

2. Eligibility for Refunds

2.1 Digital Content and Subscriptions

Refunds for digital content, premium articles, or subscription services may be issued under the following conditions:

• Within 14 Days: You may request a refund within 14 days of purchase if you have not accessed or downloaded the digital content
• Technical Issues: If you experience technical problems that prevent access to purchased content and we are unable to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe
• Duplicate Charges: If you were accidentally charged multiple times for the same purchase
• Unauthorized Transactions: If you can demonstrate that a charge was made without your authorization

2.2 Premium Services

For premium services, consulting, or custom projects:

• Refunds may be considered if services have not yet been delivered or commenced
• Partial refunds may be issued for services that are canceled after work has begun, based on the percentage of work completed
• Refund eligibility will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

2.3 Non-Refundable Items

The following are generally NOT eligible for refunds:

• Digital content that has been accessed, downloaded, or used
• Subscription fees for periods during which you had access to premium content
• Services that have been fully rendered
• Promotional or discounted items marked as "non-refundable"
• Requests made after 30 days from the purchase date (except in cases of ongoing technical issues)

3. Subscription Cancellations

3.1 How to Cancel

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period.

3.2 Pro-Rated Refunds

We generally do not offer pro-rated refunds for canceled subscriptions. You will retain access to premium content until the end of your paid subscription period. However, exceptions may be made in cases of:

• Technical issues preventing service access for an extended period
• Significant changes to service terms or features
• Billing errors or duplicate charges

3.3 Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless canceled before the renewal date. To avoid charges for the next billing period, you must cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription renews.

5. Refund Methods

Refunds will be issued using the same payment method used for the original purchase. We cannot issue refunds to different payment methods or accounts. In exceptional circumstances where the original payment method is no longer available, alternative arrangements may be made at our discretion.

6. Partial Refunds

In certain situations, partial refunds may be granted, such as:

• Services or content partially delivered before cancellation
• Subscription periods during which service was unavailable
• Items or services not meeting the described specifications

The amount of partial refunds will be determined based on the proportion of services rendered or content accessed.

7. Disputes and Chargebacks

We encourage you to contact us directly before initiating a dispute or chargeback with your payment provider. Many issues can be resolved quickly through direct communication. If you initiate a chargeback without first contacting us:

• Your access to our services may be suspended pending resolution
• You may be charged additional fees if the chargeback is found to be unjustified
• Future transactions may require additional verification

8. Free Trial Periods

If we offer free trial periods for premium services:

• You may cancel at any time during the trial period without charge
• Cancellation must be completed before the trial period ends to avoid charges
• If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be automatically charged for the subscription
• Refunds are not provided for charges incurred after a trial period expires if cancellation was not completed in time

• If we cannot resolve the issue, you may be eligible for a refund or service credit
