Refund Policy

2. RATIONALE FOR NO-REFUND POLICY

A no-refund policy is standard for digital products because:

• Digital products are instantly accessible and cannot be physically returned
• Once downloaded and accessed, the product has been delivered in its entirety
• Digital content cannot be "restocked" or resold after access is granted
• There is no way to verify the condition of digital products after delivery
• Refunding digital products would expose our business to potential fraud and abuse

3. SUBSCRIPTION MEMBERSHIP TERMS

Subscription memberships renew automatically on the date specified in your account. Refunds are not available for:

• Current billing periods after payment is processed
• Partial months if you cancel mid-cycle
• Unused portions of your subscription
• Any fees charged for failed or declined payment methods

To stop recurring charges, you must cancel your subscription before the next billing date through your account dashboard. Cancellation takes effect on your next billing date, not immediately.

4. CANCELLATION VS. REFUND

Cancelling your subscription does not trigger a refund. Cancellation only prevents future charges from occurring on your account. Your access to the membership content continues until the end of your current billing period.

5. PAYMENT PROCESSING

All payments on The Vault Pass are processed securely through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. Your payment information is encrypted and handled according to Stripe's security standards. Payments are processed by:

By making a purchase, you authorize The Vault Pass to charge your payment method. All transactions are final and non-refundable.

6. EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES

Refunds will not be issued under any circumstances, including but not limited to:

• Change of mind or decision to no longer use the product
• Failure to download or access the product within a certain timeframe
• Dissatisfaction with the quality or content of the product
• Finding similar or lower-priced content elsewhere
• Technical issues or difficulties understanding the material
• Account suspension or termination due to violation of our Terms of Use
• Unauthorized purchases (contact support with proof of unauthorized access)

7. DISPUTED CHARGES

If you believe you have been charged in error or fraudulently, you must contact our support team immediately with documentation of the issue. While we maintain a strict no-refund policy, we investigate claims of:

• Duplicate charges
• Unauthorized transactions
• Technical errors in payment processing

Disputes must be reported within 30 days of the transaction date. If a legitimate error is confirmed, we will work with Stripe to issue a correction.

8. CHARGEBACK POLICY

Initiating a chargeback with your bank or credit card company without first contacting us is considered a violation of our Terms of Use. Unauthorized chargebacks may result in:

• Immediate account suspension
• Loss of access to all products and services
• Addition of chargeback fees to your account
• Referral to collection agencies if chargeback fees are not paid
• Legal action to recover costs associated with the chargeback

Customers are required to work with us directly to resolve payment disputes before pursuing chargeback claims.

9. CONTACT SUPPORT

If you have questions about a charge, experience a technical issue, or believe an error has occurred, please contact our support team through the contact form on our website. We will investigate legitimate claims of billing errors, but cannot issue refunds under our no-refund policy.
