1. Introduction
At Zipy, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which we issue refunds for our subscription plans and services. By purchasing or using our services, you agree to this Refund Policy.
2. Free Trial
We offer a 14-day free trial for all our paid plans. During this period, you can explore all features of Zipy at no cost.
2.1 Trial Period
The free trial begins when you create your account and lasts for 14 consecutive days. No payment information is required to start your trial.
2.2 After Trial Ends
At the end of your 14-day trial, your account will automatically convert to a paid subscription if you have entered payment information. You may cancel anytime before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
2.3 Canceling During Trial
You can cancel your subscription during the trial period with no charges. Simply go to Account Settings > Billing > Cancel Subscription. No further action is required.
3. 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
We stand behind our product with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with Zipy for any reason, you can request a full refund within 30 days of your initial payment.
3.1 What's Covered
The money-back guarantee applies to your first payment on any paid plan (Monthly or Annual). This includes:
• Starter to Pro plan upgrades
• Annual subscription payments
• Add-on purchases made within 30 days
3.2 What's Not Covered
The following are not eligible for the money-back guarantee:
• Subsequent renewal payments (after the first 30 days)
• Enterprise custom contracts (subject to separate agreement)
• Add-ons purchased more than 30 days ago
4. Subscription Refunds
This section explains how refunds work for different subscription types and scenarios.
4.1 Monthly Subscriptions
For monthly subscriptions, refunds are only available within the first 30 days of your initial payment. After this period, monthly subscriptions are non-refundable. However, you can cancel at any time to stop future charges.
4.2 Annual Subscriptions
For annual subscriptions, you may request a prorated refund within the first 90 days of your subscription. The refund amount will be calculated based on the unused portion of your annual term, minus a 10% processing fee.
Example: If you cancel after 60 days of a 365-day annual plan, you would receive approximately 83% of your payment (305 unused days / 365 days), minus 10% processing fee.
4.3 Upgrades and Downgrades
• Upgrades: When you upgrade your plan, you are charged the prorated difference immediately. These upgrade charges are eligible for the 30-day money-back guarantee.
• Downgrades: When you downgrade your plan, the new rate applies at your next billing cycle. No refund is issued for the current period, but you receive a credit toward future bills.

Refunds for add-on purchases follow these guidelines:
5.1 Add-on Eligibility
• Visitor tracking add-ons: Refundable within 14 days of purchase if unused
• Chatbot add-ons: Refundable within 7 days of purchase if usage is below 100 conversations
