At Antivirus Protections, we strive to provide our customers with clear and fair refund terms. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds may be issued, ensuring you understand your rights and responsibilities.
Activation and Installation Fees:
- Non-Refundable: Charges for activation or installation fees paid upfront are typically non-refundable once the service has been installed and activated.
Equipment Return and Refund:
- Refund for Equipment: Refunds are applicable only if a service package is not activated, and any physical device is not installed or is broken within or outside the premises. These terms apply within a specific time frame (usually 14 to 30 days), and the equipment must be in good condition.
- Restocking Fees: A restocking fee may apply, which can reduce the refund amount.
- Return Shipping Costs: Customers are generally responsible for paying for the return shipping of the equipment.
Trial Period:
- Limited-Time Refund Period: We offer a limited-time trial period (7 to 30 days) during which you can cancel the service and receive a refund for any upfront payments, excluding non-refundable installation fees.
- Service Refund: If you cancel within the trial period, you may be eligible for a full or partial refund of any subscription fees paid in advance.
Pro-Rated Refunds:
- Unused Service: If you cancel after the trial period but before the end of your billing cycle, Antivirus Protections may offer pro-rated refunds for unused services. However, this is not universal and depends on the contract.
- No Refund for Early Cancellation: Some subscription plans do not offer refunds once a service has been activated, regardless of whether the service was fully utilized.
Early Termination Fees (ETFs):
- Long-Term Contracts: Antivirus Protections operates on long-term contracts (1-2 years). If you cancel before the end of the contract term, you may be subject to early termination fees, which can be substantial and typically non-refundable.
- ETF Waivers: In rare cases, you may be able to avoid early termination fees if you move to an area where the service is unavailable or if Antivirus Protections consistently fails to meet service obligations.
Service Interruptions:
- Refund for Downtime: In cases of prolonged service interruptions, outages, or significant performance issues, Antivirus Protections may offer service credits or refunds, but this usually requires you to report the issue and follow our resolution process.
- No Refund for Weather-Related Issues: Services can be affected by weather conditions, and Antivirus Protections does not offer refunds for temporary weather-related service disruptions.
Prepaid Plans:
- No Refund for Prepaid Services: If you've paid upfront for an annual or multi-month plan, Antivirus Protections may not offer refunds for any unused portion if you cancel the service early.
Digital Content:
- Non-Refundable Content: Any additional digital content or services offered through Antivirus Protections (e.g., premium features) are generally non-refundable once accessed or purchased.
Contractual Obligations:
- Third-Party Agreements: If applicable, you may be bound by the specific terms of any third-party providers, which may differ from Antivirus Protections’s direct policies.
Documentation:
- Document Everything: Keep a copy of your bill for any equipment returns, service cancellations, and communication with Antivirus Protections to ensure a smooth refund process if applicable. Always review the specific refund policy, as terms can differ significantly among plans. Make sure to read the contract carefully before signing to understand the specific refund and cancellation terms.
