Last Updated: January 15, 2025

Quick Overview

Our Refund Policy outlines when and how refunds may be issued for BulkSMS.ca services. Wallet recharges may be refunded if unused, while campaign and API services are generally non-refundable once initiated. All refund requests are subject to review and applicable service usage conditions. We aim to process requests fairly within 7-14 business days.

Refund Overview

BulkSMS.ca operates on a prepaid credit-based system. We understand that situations may arise where you need a refund. This policy outlines when refunds may be considered and how they are processed.

Refund requests are subject to review and applicable service usage conditions. Not all purchases are eligible for refunds.

We review each request individually based on the service type, usage history, and reason for the request. Our goal is to be fair while maintaining the integrity of our prepaid service model.

Wallet Recharge Policy

Wallet recharges are the primary way to fund your BulkSMS.ca account. Our policy for recharge refunds:

  • Unused wallet recharges may be eligible for refund within 7 days of purchase.
  • If any credits from the recharge have been used, the remaining balance may be refunded at our discretion.
  • Fully used recharges are not eligible for refund.
  • Bulk recharges with volume bonuses may have adjusted refund calculations.
  • Refund amount excludes any processing fees charged by payment gateways.

To request a wallet recharge refund, contact our support team with your transaction ID and reason for the request.

Eligible Refund Cases

Refunds may be considered in the following cases:

  • Technical failures on our platform that prevented message delivery.
  • Unused wallet recharge within 7 days of purchase.
  • Duplicate charges or billing errors.
  • Service not delivered as described due to our error.
  • Account termination by us without cause (unused credits refunded).
  • Legal requirements mandating refund.

Each request is reviewed case by case. Approval is at our discretion and subject to verification.

Fraud Prevention

To prevent fraudulent refund claims:

  • We verify all refund requests against account activity.
  • Suspicious patterns may result in refund denial.
  • Accounts with repeated refund requests may be flagged for review.
  • Refund abuse may lead to account suspension.
  • We reserve the right to deny refunds that appear fraudulent.

Chargeback Handling

For chargebacks and disputes:

  • We encourage contacting our support first before initiating chargebacks.
  • Chargebacks may result in account suspension pending resolution.
  • We provide transaction evidence to payment providers when needed.
  • Resolved chargebacks may still incur processing fees.
  • Repeated chargebacks may lead to permanent account termination.

We prefer resolving issues directly through our support team rather than chargeback disputes. Contact us first for faster resolution.
