Refund & Withdrawal Policy
This policy covers Lifetime, Monthly and Founder licences purchased through Polar.
Updated August 26, 2026
1. No voluntary refunds
Purchases are final and do not include a voluntary refund, return period or money-back guarantee. This rule applies only to discretionary refunds and never excludes or reduces a right or remedy that cannot legally be waived.
2. Mandatory rights override
This policy never excludes or reduces rights that cannot legally be waived. If consumer law requires a full refund, longer period, repair, replacement, price reduction, termination or another remedy, that remedy applies. Defective, inaccessible, duplicate or materially misdescribed purchases are assessed under applicable law as well as this policy.
3. EU/EEA withdrawal and conformity
An EU/EEA consumer generally has 14 days from conclusion of an online distance contract to withdraw, subject to applicable exceptions and the facts of the supply. A valid statutory withdrawal may require a full refund. The required checkbox inside Polar checkout agrees to the Terms; it does not say that the withdrawal right is waived.
EU rules also provide mandatory remedies when digital content or a digital service does not conform. Depending on the supply and law, these can include bringing it into conformity, price reduction or termination, and applicable liability periods may continue after purchase.
4. Request and confirmation
Open https://themarkdowneditor.app/refunds during an applicable period. Choose the request, provide purchaser name, purchase email and Polar order reference, review the summary, then use the final confirmation button. Statutory withdrawal does not require a reason.
The system sends an email acknowledgment with the submission timestamp. You may also send an unambiguous withdrawal statement to help@themarkdowneditor.app with the same identifying details. Do not send card data.
5. Review, amount and timing
We aim to respond within 2 business days. Approved refunds go through Polar to the original payment method. Polar, the card network and bank control settlement timing. Currency conversion, rounding, tax and processor line items can affect the display, but mandatory amounts and deadlines are not reduced. Statutory refunds are processed within the deadline required by law.
6. Subscription cancellation
Cancel Monthly at https://themarkdowneditor.app/portal. Cancellation stops future renewals and normally preserves access through the paid period; it does not itself refund that period. A mandatory refund or statutory termination may end access when issued. Monthly renews at EUR 8 or the fixed local price shown at checkout.
7. Licence effect and contact
A refunded Lifetime or Founder licence is revoked after approval; a refunded Monthly entitlement ends as stated in the approval. Markdown files remain on disk. Questions: help@themarkdowneditor.app. Privacy details: https://themarkdowneditor.app/privacy
