Refund policy

How refunds work for Docszero subscriptions, who processes them, and how to ask for one.

last updated

Refunds

We offer refunds within 14 days of purchase for eligible Docszero subscriptions. If we approve a refund, Creem, our Merchant of Record, returns the money to the original payment method. Refunds include applicable taxes where required.

Refund requests may be submitted through the billing or support option in your Docszero account. Refunds are generally processed within several business days, although the time required for the funds to appear depends on your payment provider.

Refunds may be denied in cases of fraud, abuse, or repeated refund requests. This policy does not limit any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

Where your local law gives you a stronger right than this policy, that right applies.

What is eligible

A first payment on a paid plan is eligible for 14 days from the date of the charge. This covers both monthly and yearly subscriptions.

Renewals

A renewal charge is eligible on the same terms as a first payment: you have the same window from the date of that charge. We send a receipt for every charge, so a renewal you did not intend is easy to spot and easy to reverse.

Partial periods

We do not pro-rate unused time outside the refund window. If you cancel, you keep the plan you paid for until the end of that billing period and are not charged again.

How to ask for a refund

Write to hello@docszero.com from the address on the account, or open Settings → Billing in your dashboard and use the billing portal link. One line about what went wrong is enough. There is no form.

You do not need to give a reason. It helps us if you do, but we will not ask you to justify it.

Creem refunds to the same payment method wherever that is possible. If that method has expired or closed, Creem will contact you about an alternative.

Cancelling instead

Cancelling and refunding are different things, and cancelling is often what you actually want.

  • You can cancel at any time from Billing in your account.
  • You keep your plan until the end of the period you have already paid for.
  • After that the account returns to Free. Nothing is charged again.
  • Sites over the Free limit are never deleted. You cannot create more until you are back under the limit, and every export still works.

Export is available on every plan, including Free, before and after you cancel. Your documentation is yours to take with you.

When we decline

We may decline a refund where:

  • the request falls outside the window and no statutory right applies;
  • the account shows signs of fraud or payment abuse;
  • the same account has repeatedly bought and refunded the same plan;
  • the plan was used in a way that breaches our Terms of service.

If we decline, we will say which of these applies and why. You can reply and ask us to look again.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with a refund decision, reply to our email or write to hello@docszero.com with "complaint" in the subject. A person reads it. We aim to acknowledge within 1 business day and to resolve within 10 business days, and we will tell you if something will take longer.

If you are unhappy with the outcome you can raise it with Creem at support@creem.io, and with your card issuer or your local consumer protection body. Nothing in this policy removes those routes.

Who takes the payment

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Creem (Armitage Labs OÜ, Estonia). Creem is the Merchant of Record for every Docszero order, so Creem issues the money either way.

Refund decisions are ours: write to us and we approve or decline, then Creem returns the money to the card you paid with.
