Important to Know

Your Legal Rights

Nothing in this policy limits your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection laws. Where required by law, refunds may be issued outside this policy.

Your Data After Refund

After a refund, you'll have 90 days of read-only access to export your diary entries. After 90 days, your data will be permanently deleted per our Privacy Policy, unless retention is required by law.

Partial Refunds

We don't offer partial refunds for unused subscription time, except where required by law. If you cancel mid-period, you keep access until the end of your billing cycle.

Multiple Purchases

The 14-day refund window applies only to your first purchase. Subsequent renewals or plan changes are not eligible for refunds.

Subscription Renewals

Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel. We will send you a reminder email at least 7 days before your renewal date. You can cancel anytime before the renewal date to avoid being charged. Cancellation is easy and can be done directly from your account settings or by contacting support.

Fair Use

We reserve the right to deny refunds in cases of abuse or fraud, including but not limited to: repeated refund requests, obvious service misuse, or fraudulent payment activity. We trust our users, but we need to protect the sustainability of haru for everyone.

Cancellation vs. Refund

Cancellation

Stop future billing, but keep access until the end of your current period. No refund for current period.

Refund

Get your money back within 14 days of first payment. Access ends immediately after refund is processed, unless otherwise required by law.
