Refund Policy

Simple, fair, and student-first. We stand behind PLACIQ with a 7-day guarantee.

Last updated: June 1, 2025

TL;DR — The Simple Version

  • New Pro subscribers get a 7-day full refund — no questions asked.
  • After 7 days, no refunds for the current billing period, but you can cancel anytime.
  • Refunds are processed within 5–7 business days to your original payment method.

1. 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If you subscribe to PLACIQ Pro and are not satisfied for any reason, you may request a full refund within 7 calendar days of your first payment. No questions asked. No hoops to jump through.

To request a refund within the 7-day window, email us at support@placiq.com with the subject line "Refund Request" and include your registered email address. We'll process your refund within 2 business days of receiving your request.

2. Eligibility Conditions

The 7-day refund applies when:

  • You are a new Pro subscriber making your first payment
  • Your request is submitted within 7 calendar days of the payment date
  • Your account has not been suspended for violation of our Terms of Service

The refund guarantee does not apply to:

  • Renewal payments (monthly or annual renewals after your first billing cycle)
  • Accounts that have already received a refund from PLACIQ previously
  • Accounts suspended or terminated due to Terms of Service violations
  • Enterprise or institutional subscriptions (governed by separate agreements)

3. After the 7-Day Window

After 7 days, subscription payments are non-refundable. However:

  • You can cancel anytime from account settings — you'll retain Pro access until the end of your current billing period
  • If you're on an annual plan, cancellation stops future renewals — no partial refund is issued for unused months
  • In exceptional circumstances (e.g., accidental double-charge, extended platform outage), contact us and we'll review on a case-by-case basis

4. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed through the payment provider to your original payment method where supported:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: 5–7 business days
  • UPI / Net Banking: 3–5 business days
  • Wallets: 1–3 business days

Payment gateway transaction fees, if any, may be non-refundable and may be deducted from the refund amount where applicable.

5. Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback with your bank before contacting us, your account will be suspended pending investigation. We strongly encourage you to contact us first — we resolve genuine issues quickly and a chargeback is never necessary for eligible refunds.

6. Contact

For refund requests or billing questions:

  • Email: support@placiq.com
