Refunds and Cancellation

VERSION 1.1 · EFFECTIVE 10 OCTOBER 2026

How to cancel Premium, what happens to the period you have paid for, the fourteen day cancellation right in the European Union and the United Kingdom and when immediate access gives it up, and how venue credits work. It also says which company took your payment, because that decides where a refund comes from.

DRAFT, NOT THE FINAL PUBLISHED VERSION

The operating entity, the governing jurisdiction and the designated copyright agent are not filled in yet, so every place this document names one reads as unfinished. Fill in legal/entity.json and re-run node legal/sync.mjs before launch.

1Who took your money

A refund can only come from whoever holds the transaction, so this is the first thing to establish.

If you subscribed through the website, you were sent to our payment provider's own hosted checkout. They are the merchant of record for that purchase and the refund is processed through them by us. We never receive or store your card number.

If you subscribed inside the Android application installed from Google Play, Google Play Billing took the payment, because the store requires it for digital goods. Google holds that transaction and Google's refund rules apply to it. Asking Google is usually faster than asking us, because we cannot reverse a charge that never reached us.

If you are not sure which it was, your receipt says so, and so will we if you write to support@inaff.app with the date, the amount and the currency.

2Cancelling Premium

You can cancel at any time, from your account settings, without speaking to anybody. There is no retention call, no exit survey you have to finish, and no offer you have to decline three times.

Cancelling stops the next renewal. The period you have already paid for runs to its end and you keep Premium until then, which means cancelling on day two of a month is not a mistake you have to undo.

We do not pro rate a partial period. Section 9 of the Terms of Service says the same thing and this is the plain version of it.

There is no annual plan to be trapped in. The longest thing sold is three months, because the product is twenty quests and then it withdraws, and selling somebody a year would be selling them a year of needing us.

3The fourteen day cancellation right, and when you give it up

If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you normally have fourteen days to withdraw from a contract made at a distance, without giving a reason and without a penalty. A subscription bought in an application or on a website is such a contract.

There is one exception and it is the one that applies here. Where you ask for the service to be supplied immediately, and you acknowledge that doing so means losing the right to withdraw once supply has begun, the right ends when it begins. Premium is that situation: it is active the moment the payment clears, because a subscription that waits fourteen days to start is not one anybody would buy.

That waiver only counts if you were actually asked for it, so here is the position stated in the direction that favours you. Where the checkout asks you to confirm both things, that you want access immediately and that you understand the fourteen day right ends once you have it, then agreeing is what ends the right, and declining simply means not completing the purchase with nothing charged. Where you were NOT asked, the right was not given up, and you keep the full fourteen days from the date of purchase.

We would rather write that down than rely on you not knowing it. If you bought Premium and were never shown that confirmation, you can cancel within fourteen days under this section and the paragraph below about proportionate use is the only thing that limits what comes back.

Where you cancel within fourteen days having already used Premium, we may keep an amount in proportion to what you used before cancelling. That is what the law permits and it is not a fee. Where you cancel within fourteen days and have not used it at all, you get the whole payment back.

To use this right, write to support@inaff.app saying you are cancelling, with the date and the amount. No particular wording is needed. We confirm in writing and refund to the original payment method, without charging you for doing it, normally within fourteen days of being told.

4When we refund without being asked

If we take money for something we cannot deliver, we give it back. That is the rule behind the specific cases below rather than a sentiment.

If Premium was charged on an account that cannot use it, the charge is returned. Premium cannot be bought on an unverified account for the reason given in section 9 of the Terms of Service: everything it accelerates runs through walls an unverified account cannot pass, and selling somebody speed through a door they cannot open is taking money for nothing.

If the same payment was taken twice, the duplicate comes back. That is an error, not a purchase.

If a quest or a feature you paid to reach was withdrawn before you could use it, tell us and we will put it right rather than argue about whether the subscription technically delivered.

A charge you never authorised is not a refund question. Tell us and tell your bank.

5Venues and credits

A venue buys credits, and credits buy arrivals rather than impressions. This is a business purchase rather than a consumer one, so the consumer cancellation right in section 3 does not apply to it.

Credits do not expire. They are not refundable once they have been consumed, and they carry no cash value, which is set out in section 10 of the Terms of Service.

Credits you have bought and not yet consumed are a different matter. We may decline, suspend or refund a venue at our discretion, including where an area simply does not have enough members for arrivals to be plausible. We would rather return the money than take it for a number we cannot deliver, and that sentence is in the Terms because it is meant to be relied on.

There is no auction, no bidding and no weekly rate, so there is no spend that can run away from you between the time you approve it and the time it happens.

A venue that wants to stop simply stops. Unconsumed credits stay on the account, and if you would rather have the money than the balance, ask.

6Chargebacks, and why asking us first is better for you

You can go to your bank and we are not going to pretend otherwise. We would rather you came to us first, for a practical reason: a chargeback is decided by the card scheme on paperwork and takes weeks, while a refund we agree to usually takes days.

Where a chargeback is raised on an active subscription, the subscription stops while it is resolved, because the payment behind it is in dispute.

Where a pattern of chargebacks looks deliberate rather than mistaken, it is handled as misuse under section 7 of the Terms of Service rather than as a billing question.

None of that is a reason to avoid your bank if we have failed you. It is what happens, written down, so the choice is an informed one.

7Your statutory rights, and how to complain

Nothing here reduces a right you have under the law of the country you live in. Where a term in any document of ours is less favourable to you than a protection your local law gives you, your local law applies and the term does not.

That includes rights about digital content that is faulty, not as described or not fit for purpose. Those are separate from the cancellation right in section 3 and they are not limited to fourteen days.

If you are unhappy with how a refund was handled, or a ticket has not solved a billing problem, say so at support@inaff.app and ask for it to be looked at again. It is read by a person and never automated. A ticket is usually the faster first step, and for a billing complaint either route reaches us.

If we cannot settle it between us, you may be able to take it to a consumer dispute body or to a court where you live. The governing law clause in section 15 of the Terms of Service does not take away the protection of your local consumer law, and cannot.

Formal notice can be sent to Apps I Think at Your Real Address or Registered Agent Address.

QUESTIONS

Open a ticket at /support and say it is a legal matter. It goes straight to a person, the automatic first line is not allowed to touch legal, press, safety or data-access requests. Serious matters also have an email address, read by a person: a problem a ticket has not solved, a data request, a legal complaint, or formal legal notice, which should be sent there directly: support@inaff.app.
