PAID-FOR VERSION CONSUMER USERS, PLEASE NOTE:

For UK based customers, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that you have a 14 day right to change your mind and get a full refund on the services you have paid for. This is known as the “cooling off period”. If you are not based in the UK but are based within the EU you may be entitled to equivalent rights under the law of the member state in which you are domiciled. You do not have this right to receive a full refund if you have started to receive the services within the 14 day cooling off period, provided you have been told this and have acknowledged this. By agreeing to our terms and conditions for consumers you have done both. Once we make the Finimize Services and Platform available for you to access, we consider you to have started to use our services and you cannot rely on your right to cancel and receive a refund. If you sign up for a free trial, the cooling off period will end 14 days after your start the trial. How to cancel: If you wish to cancel, you can log into your Finimize account at any time and cancel your subscription. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says that paid-for digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. If your paid-for digital content is faulty, you are entitled to a repair or a replacement. If the fault cannot be fixed, or if it has not been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some, or all of your money back. Whether you are a Free Version or Paid-for Version consumer user, if you can show that a digital content fault has damaged your device and we have not used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation.
