Refund Policy

I. INTRODUCTION

We at Secomapp are committed to providing a high-quality user experience and customer satisfaction. This refund policy outlines the terms and conditions under which refunds may be granted to the Search Pie app's users. Our refund policy adheres to the refund guidelines set forth by Shopify. For more information on Shopify's refund policy, please refer to their documentation at [https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/billing/purchase-adjustments/refunds]. Rest assured that all refunds are always made as quickly as possible.

II. PAYMENT INFORMATION

2.1. Monthly Plans

At Search Pie, we offer a variety of monthly subscription plans for our search enhancement app on the Shopify platform. According to Shopify's policies, all Search Pie monthly subscriptions are set to auto-renew, ensuring uninterrupted access to our app's features and benefits.

For instance, the date of Enterprise subscription activation is April 4th. The subscription cycle for this plan is 30 days, starting from the date of purchase. This means that the initial subscription period will run from April 4th to May 4th.

Upon reaching the end of the initial subscription period, the customer's subscription will automatically renew for another cycle, extending their access to the app's functionalities for an additional 30 days. In this example, the auto-renewal will occur on May 4th and run until June 3rd.

For more information on Shopify's app charges, please refer to their documentation at [https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-billing/your-invoice/apps].

2.2. Annual Plans

According to Shopify's policies, all Search Pie annual subscriptions are set to auto-renew, ensuring uninterrupted access to our app's features and benefits.

For instance, the date of Enterprise annual subscription activation is April 4th, 2022. The annual subscription cycle for this plan is one year, starting from the date of purchase. This means that the subscription period will run from April 4th, 2022 to April 4th, 2023.

2.3. One-time Payment

A one-time charge, which you'll see a separate bill for, is not billed on a recurring basis, and won't appear on your regular Shopify subscription bill.

Entity SEO package, VIP AI Generator and VIP SEO Scan package are the service packages that are currently charged one time in SearchPie.

III. TIMEFRAME & ELIGIBILITY FOR REFUNDS

3.1. Monthly Plans

Users must submit a refund request within [30] days from the date of monthly subscription activation. During the refund period, free cashback is acceptable. However, after exceeding that timeframe, we need to consider specific terms to continue evaluating your refund request.

Refunds for monthly plans of the Search Pie app may be considered in the following situations:

• Malfunction: If the app experiences technical issues or malfunctions that prevent users from accessing its features or using it as intended.

• Non-compatibility: If the app is incompatible with the user's device, operating system, or other necessary components, and such incompatibility cannot be resolved by our support team.

• Failure to deliver promised functionality: If the app fails to provide the functionality or features explicitly stated in its description or promotional materials.

If you are overdue for the free trial and the plan is partially used, we only refund you the amount of your unused days in the cycle.

If a user encounters any of the aforementioned situations and contacts our support team for assistance, we will make every effort to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe. Despite our best efforts, we are unable to resolve the problem within three days, a refund may be considered.

So, how can you receive a refund?

• Case 1: The billing cycle has been paid: we will arrange the refund for you within 7 business days.

• Case 2: The billing cycle has not been paid yet. In this situation, please send an email about your request for Payment Removal to Shopify and cc our emails: [e-mail] and [e-mail]. We will confirm it for Shopify to help remove the charge for you.

3.2. Annual Plans

Our team will review your case and contact Shopify to offer proper solutions.

IV. REFUND PROCESS

To request a refund, users must:

• Contact our support team at [e-mail] or through Livechat channel on the Search Pie app interface.

• Provide relevant information, including the reason for the refund request, purchase details, and any supporting documentation or evidence.

We review every refund request and aim to respond in two business days.

If you haven't received the refund you're expecting, but it's been fewer than 10 business days, the refund may still be in process. Refunds can take 3 to 10 business days to appear on your card statement.

[*] If the customer submits a refund request after uninstalling the app, please note that the refund process may experience delays as we will need to engage in collaboration with Shopify to facilitate the refund claim. This additional step is necessary to ensure a smooth and compliant refund procedure.

[**] For any transaction of app subscription, Shopify is entitled to retain a fee amount regarded as a processing fee and transfer the rest of the subscription fee to our account on a certain due date. Once it's time we did receive the money, we then go proceed to transfer it back to you instantly. That's why a refund request is successfully approved from our side, you might need to wait for a few more days to receive the balance though, and the refund fee might not be in full.

VI. REFUND APPROVAL AND DENIAL
