The 7 days start at the time of purchase shown on your receipt. Every plan is a one-time purchase, so there is never a renewal to cancel.

Email support@tomfiction.com from any address, with the email you used at checkout, or simply reply to your receipt email from Stripe.
A parent or guardian who paid can ask on the student's behalf.
You don't need to give a reason.

We refund the full amount to the original payment method through Stripe, usually within a day of your request. Your bank then takes about 5 to 10 business days to show it.
The plan's remaining access (for example, new essays under a Season Pass) ends when the refund is issued.
Essays you already made stay yours. They are your words, saved on your device, and we don't take them back.

Refunds after 7 days are at our discretion, but we always refund:

a duplicate or mistaken charge;
a purchase you couldn't use because of a problem on our side that we couldn't fix;
the unused part of a paid plan if we discontinue it before its term ends.

Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank. A refund from us is faster, and you don't need a reason.
