Refund Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2025
Our Progress Guarantee
At Access Assured, we're confident in our ability to help you recover your account. That's why we offer a Quality Guarantee: if we don't provide a clear, actionable recovery plan for your specific situation, you'll receive a full refund.
Important: We guarantee progress, not account recovery. The final decision on account access rests with your email provider (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, etc.). However, we commit to making measurable progress toward recovery or giving you your money back.
Service-Specific Refund Terms
Free Assessment ($0)
No charge, no refund needed. You can use our free assessment as many times as you'd like.
Recovery Guide ($29)
Refund Window: 7 days from purchase
Delivery Guarantee: We must provide you with a comprehensive recovery plan immediately upon payment.
What Counts as Delivery:
- Delivery of a detailed, custom recovery checklist specific to your situation
- Provider-specific documentation templates tailored to your case
- Access to our knowledge base of recovery strategies
- Email and call scripts prepared for your use with providers
Eligible for Refund If:
- We fail to generate/deliver the recovery guide
- The materials provided are generic and not customized to your situation
- The guide is completely irrelevant to your selected provider
How to Request a Refund
To request a refund, please email support@accessassured.co with "Refund Request" in the subject line. Please include:
- Your order number or email address used for purchase
- Brief explanation of why you're requesting a refund
- Any relevant details about our service or communication
Response Time: We'll respond to refund requests within 2 business days.
Processing Time: Approved refunds will be processed within 5-7 business days. Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at purchase.
Situations Outside Our Refund Policy
While we're committed to customer satisfaction, refunds may not be granted in these situations:
Provider Denials After Proper Submission
If we've submitted properly documented recovery requests to the provider and they deny access, this doesn't qualify for a refund. We've fulfilled our obligation by providing the strategy and tools. Provider decisions are outside our control.
Example: We submit your recovery request to Google with all required documentation, and Google responds that they cannot verify your identity based on the information provided. We've delivered the guide and strategy, so the guarantee is fulfilled.
Incomplete Information from Customer
If you don't provide requested information or documentation within a reasonable timeframe (typically 7 days), we can't guarantee progress. The timeframe clock pauses while we're waiting for information from you.
Service Already Completed
If you've regained access to your account (whether through our service or independently), you're not eligible for a refund. You've received the value you paid for.
Change of Mind After Documented Progress
Once we've delivered the digital guide (as defined above), refunds based solely on a change of mind are not granted. However, if you're unsatisfied with our service quality or communication, please contact us—we want to make it right.
Beta Pricing Considerations
As an early customer during our beta period, we may offer additional accommodations beyond our standard policy. If you encounter any issues or have concerns about our service, please reach out to us directly. We're committed to:
- Learning from every customer interaction
- Being flexible with beta customers who help us improve
- Going above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction
During beta, we may offer service credits, extended support, or other accommodations even in situations that wouldn't normally qualify for refunds.
Partial Refunds
In some situations, we may offer partial refunds:
Work Partially Completed
If we've made some progress but not met all commitments, we may offer a partial refund proportional to the work completed.
Customer Recovers Access Independently
If you regain access to your account before we complete our work (using information or guidance we provided), we may offer a partial refund based on the stage of service delivery.
Delayed But Successful Recovery
If recovery takes significantly longer than expected due to provider delays (not our fault), but is ultimately successful, we may offer a partial refund or service credit as a goodwill gesture.
Subscription Services (Future)
If we offer subscription services in the future, the following will apply:
- You can cancel subscriptions anytime with no penalty
- Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period
- No refunds for partial months—you receive service through the end of your paid period
- If you cancel within 7 days of your first subscription payment, you're eligible for a full refund
Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
If you dispute a charge with your credit card company or payment processor without first contacting us, we may be unable to provide a refund through our normal process. Chargebacks also typically result in:
- Immediate suspension of services
- Forfeiture of any progress made on your case
- Potential inability to use our services in the future
Please contact us first. We're committed to resolving any issues directly and will work with you to find a fair solution.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy periodically as our services evolve. When we make changes, we'll:
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
- Notify active customers via email
- Post a notice on our website
Changes will not affect refund eligibility for purchases made before the policy update.
