Refund Policy

Last Updated: 27 November 2025

Refunds and Cancellations

Standard Refund Policy:

Due to the nature of AI-powered services and the computational costs incurred from the moment you begin using Sam One, all subscription fees are non-refundable except as outlined below or where required by applicable law.

14-Day Money-Back Guarantee:

If you are a new subscriber and are not satisfied with Sam One within the first 14 days of your initial subscription, you may request a full refund by contacting us at hello@usesam.co with the subject line "Refund Request."

To be eligible:

  • You must be a first-time subscriber (this guarantee applies once per customer)

  • The request must be made within 14 days of your initial subscription payment

  • The account must not have violated these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy

We will process approved refunds within 3 - 5 business days.

Refunds for Service Failure: If Sam One experiences a sustained service outage exceeding 72 consecutive hours due to our systems (not including third-party service disruptions, scheduled maintenance, or force majeure events), you may be eligible for a prorated refund for the affected period at our discretion.

Cancellations:

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting hello@usesam.co. Upon cancellation:

  • You will retain access to Sam One until the end of your current billing period

  • No refund will be issued for the remaining days in your billing cycle

  • Your subscription will not auto-renew

  • You will have 30 days to export your data before account deactivation

Chargebacks:

Initiating a chargeback instead of contacting us for a refund may result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of access to your data. Fraudulent chargebacks may be reported to payment fraud prevention services.

Exceptions:

Nothing in this policy limits your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable law, including consumer protection laws in South Africa, the European Union, or other jurisdictions that may apply to you.
