Refund Policy

At SchoolPen, we prioritize delivering high-quality digital products and educational content, ensuring every purchase meets the expectations of our users. We understand that sometimes, a product may not fully satisfy your needs or expectations. In such cases, SchoolPen offers a 7-day refund policy for eligible digital products and SaaS services. This policy outlines the conditions, guidelines, and procedures to request a refund, as well as the cases where refunds may not be granted. Please read this policy carefully to understand your rights and responsibilities as a SchoolPen customer.

Overview of Our Refund Policy

Our 7-day refund policy allows customers to evaluate and test most of our products to ensure they are satisfied with their purchase. If you decide the product isn’t the right fit, you have a window of 7 days from the date of purchase to request a refund. However, to protect the value and integrity of our digital content, courses and certain digital products are non-refundable once they have been accessed or consumed in full or extensively. This policy is designed to balance user satisfaction with fair use practices, given the nature of digital goods and educational materials.

Eligibility Criteria for Refunds

To qualify for a refund, the following criteria must be met:

  1. 7-Day Window for Refund Requests:
  • Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days from the date of purchase.
  • Refunds requested after this period are generally not eligible, except under specific circumstances outlined below.
  1. Conditions for Digital Products:
  • Refunds for digital products (e.g., downloadable educational resources or tools) will only be issued if the product has not been fully downloaded, accessed extensively, or used in a way that would suggest full consumption.
  • This policy helps protect our content from unfair usage, while still allowing users to evaluate the product within a reasonable timeframe.
  1. Courses and SaaS Services:
  • Non-Refundable Once Accessed: Courses are considered “consumed” once they have been accessed beyond an introductory portion (e.g., more than one module viewed), and thus are non-refundable after this point. By “consumed,” we mean extensively used, downloaded, or otherwise fully accessed.
  • Partially Accessed Content: For courses that were only partially accessed (less than one module viewed) and if reported within the 7-day period, we may consider a refund. This is to ensure that our users are protected while maintaining fairness to the integrity of our digital offerings.
  1. Subscriptions to SaaS Services:
  • Refunds are available for subscriptions within the 7-day window if the service has not been extensively used. However, if a subscription has been fully utilized during the refund period, a prorated refund may be offered depending on the level of usage.
  1. Special Cases:
  • Technical Issues: If technical issues prevent you from accessing or using a product within the 7-day period, we encourage you to contact our support team at info@schoolpen so that we can provide assistance. If the issue cannot be resolved, a refund may be issued.
  • Duplicate Purchases: In cases where duplicate purchases occur, we will issue a full refund for the duplicate transaction.

Products Not Eligible for Refunds

While we aim to accommodate refund requests within our policy, certain products and services are not eligible for refunds:

  • Fully Consumed or Accessed Courses: As mentioned above, courses are not refundable once they have been fully accessed or consumed. This policy protects the educational value and prevents potential misuse of our content. Please review the course previews and descriptions carefully before making a purchase.
  • Customized Digital Products and Services: Any product that has been customized or personalized for an individual user is non-refundable.

Refund Request Process

To request a refund, please follow the steps below to ensure a smooth process:

    • Your full name

    • Date of purchase
    • Reason for refund request (briefly explain why the product did not meet your expectations)
  1. Response and Verification:
  • After receiving your request, our team will verify your eligibility based on the policy criteria. This process may include checking the access history to determine whether the product has been consumed or accessed extensively.
  • If the request is unclear or requires further information, our team may contact you for additional details.
  1. Approval and Processing:
  • Once verified, we will process the refund within 5-10 business days. Refunds will be credited to the original payment method, and processing times may vary based on your bank or credit card provider.
  • If the request does not qualify, our support team will explain why and may offer alternative solutions, such as troubleshooting or account credits for future purchases.

Alternative Solutions

If a refund is not available based on our policy, SchoolPen may offer alternative options to help you resolve your concern:

  • Product Support and Troubleshooting: For technical difficulties or user issues, our support team is available to help. In many cases, technical issues can be resolved without requiring a refund.
  • Discounts or Credits: In certain cases, we may provide store credits or a discount for future purchases to accommodate your needs.
