Refund Policy
Effective 2026-07-19 · draft — for founder review before publish
This policy covers only your Backten seller subscription — livestock purchases between buyers and sellers are private deals, off-platform, and not covered here.
1. Cancel anytime
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of your current paid period — we don’t cut you off mid-cycle, and we don’t charge a cancellation fee.
2. Pro-rated refund for service faults (7-day window)
If Backten fails to deliver the service you paid for (e.g. a verified payment that never gets activated, or a platform outage materially preventing you from using paid features) within 7 days of your payment, you’re entitled to a pro-rated refund covering the unused portion of that period. Email carlomigueldy@gmail.com with your reference code (BKT-<tenant-id>) and what went wrong.
3. What is not covered
- Livestock transactions between buyers and sellers — Backten is a venue only and never holds that money (see Terms of Service §3).
- Simple change of mind after the 7-day window on an already-delivered subscription period.
- Account suspension/ban resulting from a Terms of Service violation — access loss in that case does not trigger a refund, since the fault is the violation, not a service failure.
4. How refunds are paid
Refunds are issued via the same rail you paid with (GCash, Maya, GoTyme, or bank transfer) — we don’t substitute a different payout method. Refund decisions and amounts are logged in Mission Control for audit purposes.
5. Expiry and grace period (not a refund event)
If your subscription simply lapses unpaid, you get a 5-day grace period with full access, then drop to the free Libre tier (listings beyond 2 are hidden, not deleted). This is not a cancellation and does not trigger a refund — reactivate anytime by submitting a new payment.
6. Disputes
If you believe you paid but were never activated, email us with your receipt and reference code. We check the payment rail history and resolve claimed-paid-but-not-received disputes within 48 hours.
