Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: 1 January 2026
1. Free trial
All new Wapai accounts begin with a 14-day free trial. During the trial:
- No payment card is required to start
- You have access to all features on the Starter plan
- You can upgrade to Pro or Business at any time during your trial
- At the end of your trial, your account moves to the free tier unless you choose a paid plan
We do not automatically charge you when your trial ends. You will be prompted to select a plan to continue using paid features.
2. Cancellation
- You can cancel your subscription at any time from the Settings page
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period
- You retain full access to the Service until the end of the period you have paid for
- You will not be charged for any subsequent periods after cancellation
3. Refunds
Our policy is no refunds for partial months. Specifically:
- Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable once the billing period has started
- We do not offer pro-rated refunds for unused time within a billing period
- If you upgrade your plan mid-month, you will be charged the pro-rated difference immediately; this charge is non-refundable
We understand this may seem strict. In practice, because we offer a 14-day free trial, we encourage you to fully test the Service before subscribing.
4. How to cancel
- Log in to your Wapai account
- Go to Settings → Billing
- Click "Cancel subscription"
- Confirm your cancellation
Alternatively, email support@wapai.com with the subject "Cancel my account" and we will process it within 1 business day.
You will receive an email confirmation of your cancellation.
5. What happens after cancellation
- You retain access to Wapai until the end of your paid billing period
- After that, your account moves to a read-only state for 30 days so you can export your data
- After 30 days, all your data (customers, conversations, orders, catalogue) is permanently deleted
- We send an email reminder 7 days before deletion
- We cannot recover data after it has been deleted
To export your data before cancellation, use the Export My Data feature in Settings → GDPR.
6. Exceptional circumstances
We may issue refunds at our sole discretion in exceptional circumstances, such as:
- A significant service outage caused by Wapai that materially impacted your use of the Service
- A billing error on our part (e.g. double-charged)
- Exceptional hardship cases reviewed on a case-by-case basis
To request an exceptional refund, email support@wapai.com with details of your circumstances. We will respond within 5 business days.
