Hi Andy,
We’re truly sorry to read about your experience. Your frustration is totally understandable, and we would like to apologize for any confusion regarding the billing.
We have replied to you via email, but would also like to provide some further clarification here in case you didn't receive it:
1. You signed up for our $15 trial and ended up being charged for the yearly subscription: During our checkout process for our annual plan, it is mentioned several times that the fee is charged yearly. It is transparently written on our pricing page and also when one enters their credit card information. Since we directly send out invoices after one completes this process, this mistake can hopefully be quickly noticed. For such cases and others, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. Furthermore, we try to make it as simple as possible for our customers to request a refund by providing them with a self-service button on our website: https://www.virtualstagingai.app/refunds
2. Our chatbot didn’t work for you: Very rarely, there might be some issues on the server side that should not affect the chatbot for longer than a couple of minutes. I would like to apologize for any technical hiccups and have forwarded this feedback to our development team for further investigation.
3. You canceled the subscription but were surprised to learn that this doesn’t automatically issue a refund: Many customers who cancel their subscription with us intend to use it for the period they have paid for. Therefore, cancellations and refunds have to be handled as two separate issues. However, as mentioned above, we try to make requesting a refund as simple and transparent as possible.
4. You were worried we would take too long to reply to your email: We aim to respond to all customer inquiries within one to two business days. In your case, our customer success team replied to you in less than 17 hours and immediately processed a refund.
If you have any further concerns or feedback you’d like to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to contact us again via [email protected].
Many thanks and best regards,
Victor from the Virtual Staging AI team
