BookRoar TM is committed to providing a fair and transparent refund policy for all subscription plans. Please read this policy carefully to understand your rights and options regarding refunds.
Subscription Plans Overview
BookRoar offers three subscription tiers:
- Basic Plan ($6/month): Maximum of five books to be reviewed every 30 days (with two day waiting period)
- Standard Plan ($10/month): Unlimited books to be reviewed per calendar month (with two day waiting period)
- Extra Plan ($18/month): Unlimited books to be reviewed per calendar month with additional features (with two day waiting period)
All subscriptions are billed monthly on a recurring basis.
Refund Eligibility & Statutory Cooling-Off Rights
14-Day Statutory Cooling-Off Period (UK / EU Consumers)
In compliance with UK and European consumer protection regulations (such as the Consumer Contracts Regulations), you are entitled to a statutory 14-day cooling-off period starting from the day your subscription contract begins, during which you can cancel for any reason and receive a full refund.
Immediate Service Performance & Waiver of Cooling-Off Rights
Because BookRoar grants immediate digital access to select books and submit reviews upon signup, you expressly request and consent to the immediate performance of the service. By beginning to use the platform, you acknowledge that you may lose your statutory right to a full cooling-off refund once the service has been fully performed, or you agree to pay a proportional amount for the services utilized up until the point of cancellation.
BookRoar 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee (First-Time Subscribers Only)
If you are subscribing to BookRoar for the first time, you are eligible for a full refund within 14 days of your initial subscription payment, provided that:
- You have not selected more than one book for review
- You have not submitted any completed reviews
- You request the refund within 14 calendar days of the subscription start date
To request a refund under this policy, please Contact Us with your account email and subscription details.
Service Failure or Technical Issues
If you experience technical issues that prevent you from accessing core BookRoar features (such as selecting books, submitting reviews, or accessing your account), and these issues are not resolved within 5 business days of reporting them, you may be eligible for a prorated refund for the affected billing period.
To report technical issues, please Contact Us with detailed information about the problem.
Non-Refundable Circumstances
Refunds will NOT be issued under the following circumstances:
- Subscription cancellations after the cooling-off or guarantee period has expired (for first-time subscribers)
- Cancellations made after selecting multiple books or completing reviews (where services have been rendered)
- Change of mind after using the service
- Failure to cancel a subscription before the next billing cycle
- Account suspension or termination due to violation of our Terms and Conditions
- Disputes regarding the quality of books available on the platform
- Inability to complete reviews due to personal circumstances
Subscription Cancellation & Auto-Renewal Reminders
Auto-Renewal & Advance Notice
Your subscription automatically renews on a recurring monthly basis. We strive to provide transparent billing, and where required by local regulations, we send electronic notifications ahead of upcoming renewals so you have an opportunity to review or cancel your plan.
How to Cancel
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings:
- Log in to your BookRoar account
- Navigate to My Account
- Select View Subscription
- Click Cancel Subscription
Alternatively, to ensure consumer flexibility and fair access, you may also submit a formal cancellation request directly by contacting our support team via email or through our designated Contact Us support channels.
When you cancel your subscription:
- You will retain access to your subscription benefits until the end of your current billing period
- No refund will be provided for the remaining days in the current billing cycle (except during the statutory cooling-off or guarantee period)
- Your subscription will not renew for the next billing cycle
- Any unused Credits remain in your account upon cancellation. They can be used as normal
- Any books currently selected for review must be returned or completed before the billing period ends
Plan Changes and Downgrades
If you upgrade your subscription plan (e.g., from Basic to Standard), the change takes effect immediately, and you will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the billing cycle.
If you downgrade your subscription plan (e.g., from Standard to Basic), the change will take effect immediately, with the prorated cost being deducted from your next billing cycle.
Processing Refunds
Approved refunds will be processed within 10 business days of approval and will be returned to the original payment method used for the subscription purchase. Please allow 5-10 additional business days for the refund to appear in your account, depending on your financial institution.
