Non-Refundable Situations
Refunds will generally not be provided in the following situations:

3. Review Process
Our customer support team will review your refund request and may contact you for additional information if needed. We aim to complete the review process within 5 business days of receiving a complete refund request.
4. Refund Decision
You will be notified of the decision regarding your refund request via email. If approved, we will process the refund according to the timeframes outlined below.
Refund Processing Timeframes
If your refund request is approved, the processing time depends on your original payment method:
- Credit/Debit Cards: Refunds typically appear on your statement within 5-10 business days after processing. However, some card issuers may take longer to reflect the refund on your statement.
- PayPal: Refunds are usually processed within 3-5 business days.
- Bank Transfers: Refunds via bank transfer typically take 7-10 business days to process.
- Other Payment Methods: Processing times vary. Our billing team will provide specific timeframes when approving your refund.
Note that while HellxCase processes refunds promptly upon approval, the time it takes for the refund to appear in your account is subject to your financial institution's policies and processing times.
Refund Methods
Refunds are typically processed using the same payment method used for the original purchase:
- Payments made by credit or debit card will be refunded to the same card
- PayPal payments will be refunded to your PayPal account
- Bank transfers will be refunded to the originating bank account
In certain circumstances, such as when the original payment method is no longer available or valid, we may issue refunds using an alternative method. In such cases, our billing team will contact you to arrange an appropriate refund method.
Partial Refunds and Credits
In some situations, we may offer partial refunds or account credits instead of full refunds:
Partial Refunds
Partial refunds may be offered when:
- The service has been partially used during the refund eligibility period
- Only some aspects of the service experienced issues
- The service was used for a significant portion of the billing cycle
Account Credits
Account credits may be offered when:
- The refund amount is small
- You plan to continue using other HellxCase services
- The original payment method cannot be refunded
- As compensation for service interruptions or inconvenience
Account credits will be applied to your HellxCase account and can be used for future purchases or subscription renewals. Credits do not expire and are non-transferable.
Cancellations vs. Refunds
Subscription Cancellations
Canceling a subscription prevents future billing but does not automatically initiate a refund for previous charges. If you cancel a subscription:
- Your service will continue until the end of the current billing cycle
- You will not be charged for the next billing cycle
- You will retain access to all features until the end of the current billing period
To Cancel a Subscription
You can cancel your subscription at any time by:
- Logging into your account and navigating to Billing & Subscription
- Selecting "Cancel Subscription" and following the prompts
- Alternatively, contacting our customer support team for assistance
If you wish to both cancel your subscription and request a refund for the current billing period, you must explicitly request a refund using the process outlined in the "Refund Request Process" section above.
Special Circumstances
Promotional or Free Trial Periods
If you signed up for a service with a promotional or free trial period and were charged after the trial ended:
- You may be eligible for a refund if you cancel within 7 days of the first charge after the trial
- You must not have substantially used the service during the paid period
Service Discontinuation
If HellxCase discontinues a service for which you have a paid subscription:
- You will be notified in advance whenever possible
- You will receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of your subscription
Account Terminations
If your account is terminated due to violations of our Terms and Conditions:
- You generally will not be eligible for a refund
- Exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis
