Refund Policy
Last Updated: July 27, 2026
1. Introduction
This Refund Policy explains how QuantumByte ("we," "us," "our," or "Company") handles refunds for purchases made on QuantumByte (the "Service"), including subscription plans and credit top-ups. This policy is part of our Terms of Service.
If you do not agree with this Refund Policy, please do not purchase paid features of the Service.
2. Free Plan
The Free plan requires no payment and no payment card. We encourage you to use the Free plan to evaluate the Service before purchasing a paid plan.
3. General Policy: All Payments Are Non-Refundable
Except as described in Section 5 (Refund Requests) and Section 6 (Statutory Rights), all payments are final and non-refundable. This includes:
- Monthly and annual subscription payments
- Subscription renewals
- Credit top-ups
- Plan upgrades
By purchasing a paid plan or credits, you acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to a refund for any payment already made.
4. Subscriptions, Cancellation, and Credits
4.1 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation:
- Stops future billing
- Keeps your paid features active until the end of your current billing period
- Does not trigger a refund for the current or any past billing period
4.2 Renewals
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) unless cancelled before the renewal date. Renewal charges are non-refundable. We recommend cancelling in advance if you do not intend to renew.
4.3 Annual Plans
Annual plans are billed upfront for 12 months at a discounted rate and are non-refundable, including for partial or unused periods. Cancelling an annual plan stops the next annual renewal.
4.4 Upgrades and Downgrades
- Upgrades take effect immediately. Any unused portion of your current plan is credited toward the new plan on a prorated basis.
- Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing period. No refund is issued for the difference in the current period.
4.5 Credit Top-Ups
Credit top-ups are non-refundable once purchased. In exchange, unused top-up credits never expire and remain available on your account, including if you downgrade your plan. Monthly credits included with your subscription expire according to your plan terms. Credits have no cash value.
5. Refund Requests
While payments are non-refundable by default, you may submit a refund request to support@quantumbyte.ai. We review each request individually and may, at our sole discretion, issue a full or partial refund — for example in cases of:
- Duplicate charges or verified billing errors
- Unauthorized charges, after verification (we may ask for supporting information)
- Extended service outages attributable to QuantumByte that materially prevented use of the Service
- Other exceptional circumstances
To submit a request, email support@quantumbyte.ai with:
- Subject line: "Refund Request"
- The email address associated with your account
- The date and amount of the charge
- A brief description of the reason
We respond to refund requests within 5 business days. Approval of a refund request does not create an obligation to approve similar requests in the future.
6. Statutory Rights (EU, UK, and Other Jurisdictions)
Nothing in this policy limits rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law.
If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days. By starting to use paid digital services during the withdrawal period, you consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you may lose the right of withdrawal, or that any refund may be reduced proportionally to the service already provided, as permitted by law.
If the law of your country grants you refund rights beyond this policy, those rights prevail.
7. Processing of Refunds
If a refund is approved:
- It is issued to the original payment method via our payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)
- It typically appears within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer
- It is issued in the original currency of the charge; we are not responsible for exchange-rate differences or bank fees
- Associated paid features and credits may be removed from your account
8. Chargebacks
If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer without first contacting us, we may suspend your account while the dispute is investigated. We encourage you to contact support@quantumbyte.ai first — most billing issues can be resolved faster and without account interruption.
9. Enterprise Plans
Refund and cancellation terms for Enterprise customers are governed by the applicable order form, master services agreement, or other written contract. Where that contract is silent on refunds, this Refund Policy applies.
10. Changes to This Refund Policy
We may update this Refund Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the Service, and reflected in the "Last Updated" date above. Changes apply to purchases made after the effective date of the change.
