Refund Policy

Last Updated: November 2025

1. Overview

This Refund Policy explains TierSync's refund practices for subscription-based services. TierSync is operated by BuiltByInk and processes payments through Stripe.

By subscribing to TierSync, you agree to this Refund Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Service.

2. Subscription-Based Service

TierSync operates on a monthly subscription model. Subscriptions are billed in advance for the upcoming billing period.

3. General Refund Policy

3.1 No Refunds for Completed Billing Periods

We do not provide refunds for completed billing periods. Once a billing period has begun and payment has been processed, you have received access to the Service for that period, and no refund will be issued.

3.2 Pro-Rated Access Upon Cancellation

When you cancel your subscription:
- You retain access until the end of your current billing period
- No refund is provided for the remaining days in the current period
- Automatic renewal is stopped
- Access terminates at the end of the paid period

3.3 Example

If you subscribe on January 1st and cancel on January 15th:
- You paid for access from January 1st to January 31st
- You retain access until January 31st
- No refund is provided for the period January 15th to January 31st
- Your subscription will not renew on February 1st

4. Free Trial Period

4.1 Trial Refunds

During the 7-day free trial period:
- No payment is charged
- You may cancel at any time without charge
- If you cancel before the trial ends, no payment is processed
- If the trial period ends and payment is processed, standard refund policies apply

4.2 Trial-to-Paid Transition

If payment is processed at the end of your trial:
- The first billing period begins immediately
- Standard refund policies apply from that point forward
- No special refund provisions apply simply because you were on a trial

5. Exceptions and Special Circumstances

5.1 7-Day Trial Refund Exception

If you cancel within 7 days of your first paid billing period (not the free trial), you may be eligible for a refund of that first payment, subject to:

- The refund request is made within 7 days of the first charge
- You have not used the Service extensively during that period
- The refund is requested through our support channel
- We reserve the right to deny refunds if the Service has been used in a manner inconsistent with trial usage

This exception applies only to the first paid billing period after any free trial.

5.2 Service Failures

If TierSync experiences a significant service failure that prevents you from using the Service for more than 48 consecutive hours during a billing period, you may be eligible for a pro-rated refund or credit for that period. Contact support to request consideration.

5.3 Billing Errors

If you are charged incorrectly due to our error:
- We will refund the incorrect charge
- We will correct the billing issue
- We will ensure future charges are accurate

5.4 Duplicate Charges

If you are charged multiple times for the same billing period:
