Refund Policy

Understand our 7-day cancellation & refund terms for subscription fees and WhatsApp API usage charges.

Last Updated: September 22, 2026

Overview

At WhatknotAI, we strive to provide the best WhatsApp marketing platform for businesses. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for requesting refunds on subscription fees and WhatsApp API charges.

Important: Our refund policy differs for subscription fees vs. WhatsApp API usage charges. Please read carefully to understand what is refundable.

7-Day Cancellation & Refund Window

We do not offer a free trial. Instead, every new subscription comes with a 7-day cancellation & refund window starting from the date of your first payment. This gives you:

  • Full access to all features of your subscribed plan
  • The ability to test real campaigns with live WhatsApp messages
  • A full refund of your subscription fee if you cancel within 7 days
  • No cancellation fees and no questions asked

We strongly encourage you to fully explore our platform during the 7-day window. If WhatknotAI isn't the right fit, simply reach out within 7 days of purchase for a full refund of your subscription fee.

Note: The 7-day refund applies only to the subscription fee. WhatsApp API usage charges billed by Meta are non-refundable (see below).

Subscription Fee Refunds

Refundable Scenarios

You may be eligible for a full or partial refund of subscription fees in the following cases:

  • 7-Day Cancellation Window: Cancel within 7 days of your first paid subscription for a full refund of the subscription fee
  • Platform Downtime: Extended service outages exceeding 48 consecutive hours (pro-rated refund)
  • Billing Errors: Accidental double charges or incorrect billing amounts
  • Service Not Delivered: If we fail to provide the subscribed services

Non-Refundable Scenarios

Subscription fees are NOT refundable in the following situations:

  • After the 7-day cancellation & refund window has expired
  • Cancellations requested mid-billing cycle (service continues until period end)
  • Annual subscriptions after the 7-day window has passed
  • Account termination due to Terms of Service violations
  • Change of mind or business strategy changes
  • Unused features or incomplete utilization of the service

WhatsApp API Usage Charges

WhatsApp conversation charges are NON-REFUNDABLE. These charges are billed directly by Meta (Facebook) at their official rates with 0% markup from WhatknotAI.

Once a WhatsApp message is sent and a conversation is initiated:

  • The conversation charge is immediately incurred from Meta
  • These charges cannot be reversed or refunded
  • WhatknotAI acts only as a pass-through billing agent for Meta charges
  • You are responsible for managing message volumes and costs

Tip: Use our message preview and test features to verify your campaigns before sending to avoid unnecessary charges.

Cancellation Policy

You can cancel your WhatknotAI subscription at any time through your account dashboard:

  • Within 7 Days: Full refund of subscription fee — no questions asked.
  • After 7 Days (Monthly Plans): Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing month. You retain access until then. No partial refunds.
  • After 7 Days (Annual Plans): Cancellation takes effect at the end of the annual period. No partial refunds.
  • No Cancellation Fees: We do not charge any cancellation or account closure fees.
  • Data Export: You can export your data before cancellation. Data is retained for 30 days after cancellation.

  • The downgrade takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle
  • You continue to have access to current plan features until the cycle ends
  • No partial refunds are provided for the difference in plan pricing
