Refund Policy
Last updated: August 13, 2026
1. Overview
At DuckScript, we strive to provide the best meeting transcription service. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds may be issued for our subscription services.
2. 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee
2.1 First-Time Subscribers: If you subscribe to DuckScript Pro or Business for the first time, you are eligible for a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase, no questions asked.
2.2 How to Request: To request a refund during this period, contact us at support@duckscript.com with your account email and subscription details.
2.3 Processing Time: Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days and will be returned to your original payment method.
2.4 Account Closure: Upon refund, your account will be downgraded to the Starter (free) plan, and any Pro/Business features will no longer be accessible.
3. Subscription Renewals
3.1 No Refunds on Renewals: Subscription renewals (monthly or annual) are not eligible for refunds after the 14-day guarantee period has expired.
3.2 Cancellation Before Renewal: You can cancel your subscription at any time before the next billing date to avoid future charges. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund for the current billing period.
3.3 How to Cancel: Go to Settings → Billing → Manage Billing, or contact support at support@duckscript.com.
4. Prorated Refunds (Downgrades)
4.1 Not Eligible: If you downgrade from a higher-tier plan (Business → Pro or Pro → Starter), you will not receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of your current billing period.
4.2 Access Until End of Period: You will retain access to your current plan's features until the end of your billing period. The downgrade will take effect on the next billing date.
5. Annual Subscriptions
5.1 14-Day Guarantee Applies: Annual subscriptions are eligible for a full refund within 14 days of the initial purchase date.
5.2 After 14 Days: Annual subscriptions are non-refundable after the 14-day guarantee period, even if the subscription is canceled.
5.3 Cancellation of Annual Plans: You may cancel at any time, but you will continue to have access until the end of the 12-month period. No partial refunds will be issued.
6. Exceptions to the Refund Policy
We may issue refunds outside of the standard 14-day period in the following exceptional circumstances:
- Service outages lasting more than 72 consecutive hours
- Critical bugs that prevent you from using core features for more than 7 days
- Duplicate charges or billing errors on our part
- Account suspension due to our error
Refunds for exceptional circumstances are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Contact us at support@duckscript.com with documentation of the issue.
7. Non-Refundable Items
The following are not eligible for refunds under any circumstances:
- Subscription renewals after 14 days from the original purchase
- Partial months or unused time in a subscription period
- Changes in exchange rates for international payments
- Account termination due to Terms of Service violations
- Starter (free) plan usage
8. Payment Failures and Chargebacks
8.1 Failed Payments: If a payment fails (e.g., insufficient funds, expired card), your subscription will be marked as "Past Due." You have 7 days to update your payment method before your account is downgraded to the Starter plan.
8.2 Chargebacks: If you initiate a chargeback through your bank or credit card company, your account will be immediately suspended pending resolution. We encourage you to contact us first to resolve billing disputes.
8.3 Chargeback Fees: If a chargeback is found to be invalid, you may be charged for the chargeback processing fee ($15-$25) in addition to the original subscription amount.
9. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund (within the 14-day guarantee period or for exceptional circumstances):
- Email us at support@duckscript.com
- Include the following information:
- Your account email address
- Subscription plan (Pro or Business)
- Date of purchase
- Reason for refund request (optional but helpful)
- We will respond within 1-2 business days
- If approved, the refund will be processed within 5-7 business days
10. Refund Processing
10.1 Processing Time: Approved refunds are processed within 5-7 business days.
10.2 Payment Method: Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for the purchase (e.g., credit card, PayPal).
10.3 Bank Processing: After we process the refund, it may take an additional 5-10 business days for the funds to appear in your account, depending on your bank.
10.4 Confirmation: You will receive an email confirmation once the refund has been processed.
11. Free Starter Plan
The Starter (free) plan does not involve any payment and therefore is not subject to refunds. You may use the Starter plan indefinitely at no cost, subject to its usage limits (3 hours/month, 6 AI summaries).
12. Currency and Exchange Rates
Subscription prices are listed in Euros (€). If you pay in a different currency, your bank or payment provider may apply exchange rate fees. DuckScript is not responsible for exchange rate fluctuations or associated fees. Refunds are issued in the original payment currency.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of DuckScript after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
