Refund Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

1. Overview

AI ASSIST SMES LTD, trading as AI-Assist for SMEs (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to fair and transparent refund practices. This Refund Policy applies to all subscription plans purchased through our platform. It sits alongside your legal rights, which are described in Section 9.

By subscribing to our Service, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy. Please read it carefully before making a purchase.

2. Cancelling in Your First 14 Days

2.1 During a free trial

If your plan starts with a free trial, you can cancel at any time before the trial ends and you will not be charged anything. Turn off renewal in Dashboard → Billing, or use the link in your trial reminder email.

2.2 After your first payment

You can cancel and get a full refund of your first payment if you tell us within 14 days after the day it was taken. This applies to the first payment of each new subscription. If your plan didn’t start with a free trial, that is 14 days after the day you subscribed. We offer this to every customer, whether you buy as a consumer or for your business. We don’t deduct anything for the days you have already used the Service.

2.3 How to cancel

Email info@aiassistsmes.co.uk saying that you want to cancel and receive a refund. Any clear message is enough. Putting “Refund Request” in the subject line helps us find it quickly, but it isn’t required. You can also use the model cancellation form in Section 10. We’ll confirm by email that we’ve received your request.

2.4 When you’ll be refunded

We’ll refund you to the card or payment method you paid with, without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the day you tell us. Your bank may take a few more working days to show it.

2.5 What happens to your plan

See Section 3, “What happens when we refund”.

These rights are in addition to your legal rights, which are described in Section 9.

3. What Happens When We Refund

Full refund of your latest payment. Your plan stops renewing, so no further payments are taken. You keep access until the end of the period you had paid for, and we’ll email you to confirm the exact date. After that date your account and data stay in place on the free plan until you delete them.

Changed your mind? Before that date you can switch renewal back on in Dashboard → Billing. You won’t be charged again for the period we refunded; your next payment is taken on your normal renewal date.

Partial refund (for example, a goodwill credit after an outage). Your plan carries on as normal and will renew unless you turn renewal off.

If your subscription has already been cancelled when we refund it, there is no paid period left, so access ends when the refund is made.

Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights.

4. Cancellations After the First 14 Days

If you cancel after the 14-day period in Section 2, no refund is given for the current billing period. You keep access to the Service until the end of the period you have paid for, your subscription will not renew, and no further payments are taken. All plans are billed monthly; we do not currently offer annual plans.

5. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund within the 14-day period in Section 2, contact us:

  • Email: Send your refund request to info@aiassistsmes.co.uk
  • Subject Line: Putting “Refund Request” in the subject line helps, but isn’t required

It helps if you include:

  • Your full name and the email address associated with your account
  • The date of your subscription purchase
  • Your plan (for example, Solo or Starter)
  • The reason for your refund request (optional, but appreciated)

We aim to acknowledge refund requests within 2 working days, and we make the refund no later than 14 days after you tell us. Refunds go back to the payment method you paid with.

6. Exceptional Circumstances

We will always refund a charge taken in error (for example, if you were charged twice for the same period) or taken without your authorisation (once we have checked it). We may also, at our discretion, give refunds or credits if the Service has been unavailable for a significant part of your billing period because of a problem within our control. This does not affect your rights in Section 9.

7. Auto-Renewal and Cancellation Control

All paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period using the payment method on file. You can disable auto-renewal at any time using either of two self-serve paths:

  • From your dashboard: sign in, go to Dashboard → Billing, and click Turn Off in the Auto-Renew card.
  • From your renewal reminder email: click the “Cancel in one click” link included in every renewal reminder we send. The link takes you to a confirmation page and requires no login.

Either path produces the same result: your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period and no further charges will be taken. We send you a confirmation email so you have it in writing.

Disabling auto-renewal is not the same as a refund request — you will retain access to the Service for the period you have already paid for. To request a refund within the 14-day period, see Sections 2 and 5. You can re-enable auto-renewal from your dashboard at any time before the period ends if you change your mind.

8. Promotional Codes and Discounts

From time to time we offer promotional codes that reduce the price of a subscription or add-on at checkout. Where a promotional code has been applied:

  • Refund amount: Any refund will be calculated based on the actual amount paid after the discount, not the original list price.
  • Single code per checkout: Only one promotional code can be applied per transaction. Codes cannot be combined or stacked.
  • Not retroactive: Promotional pricing is not applied retroactively to previous purchases.
  • Code-specific terms: Individual promotional codes may carry their own terms (validity period, eligible plans, usage limits). Those terms are displayed at the point of redemption and take precedence where they conflict with this section.

9. Your Statutory Rights

The 14-day refund in Section 2 is our own promise to every customer. Separately, the law gives you rights that this policy does not reduce or replace:

  • If you are a consumer (an individual buying wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession): under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 our service must be provided with reasonable care and skill and match what we told you about it. If it doesn’t, you can ask us to put it right or, if that isn’t possible or isn’t done within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you, to reduce the price, which can mean a full refund. Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 you can also cancel until 14 days after the day the contract is made.
  • If you buy for your business (including as a sole trader): the law implies a term that we will provide the service with reasonable care and skill (section 13 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982), and nothing in this policy limits any liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

Consumers can get free advice from Citizens Advice or their local Trading Standards office.

10. Model Cancellation Form

You can use this form if you wish, but you don’t have to — an email saying you want to cancel is enough.
