Refund & Subscription Policy

GATHWAYVersion 1.0 (Founder's Edition)
Effective Date: August 9, 2026

1. Purpose

This Refund & Subscription Policy explains how subscriptions, billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and promotional offers work for GATHWAY.

This policy should be read together with our:

Terms of Service

Privacy Policy

2. Subscription Plans

GATHWAY may offer both free and paid subscription plans.

Examples include:

Free

Pro

Premium

Team

Enterprise

Available plans, features, and pricing may change over time. Current pricing will always be displayed before purchase.

3. Billing

When purchasing a paid subscription, you authorize GATHWAY or its payment processor to charge the applicable fees.

Billing cycles may include:

Monthly

Annual

Other promotional billing periods

All prices are displayed before payment and may include or exclude applicable taxes depending on your location and legal requirements.

4. Automatic Renewal

Unless you cancel before the renewal date, subscriptions may renew automatically for the same billing period.

You may cancel automatic renewal at any time through your account settings or the platform where you purchased your subscription (such as the Apple App Store or Google Play Store).

Cancelling automatic renewal prevents future charges but does not generally result in a refund for the current billing period, unless required by law or stated otherwise.

5. Free Trials

GATHWAY may offer free trials for certain subscription plans.

If you begin a free trial:

The trial duration will be disclosed before activation.

If payment details are required, your subscription may automatically convert to a paid plan at the end of the trial unless you cancel beforehand.

Trial availability may be limited to new users or specific promotions.

6. Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time.

Upon cancellation:

Your paid features generally remain available until the end of the current billing period.

Your account reverts to the applicable free plan after the paid period ends, unless otherwise stated.

Cancellation does not delete your account or personal data.

7. Refund Policy

We want users to feel confident when subscribing to GATHWAY.

Refund eligibility depends on:

The platform used to purchase the subscription.

Applicable consumer protection laws.

The circumstances of the request.

Purchases through Apple App Store

Refund requests for subscriptions purchased through Apple must be submitted through Apple's refund process. Apple determines refund eligibility under its own policies.

Purchases through Google Play

Refund requests for subscriptions purchased through Google Play are generally handled in accordance with Google's policies, although certain requests may also involve GATHWAY where permitted.

Direct Purchases from GATHWAY

For subscriptions purchased directly from GATHWAY, refund requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account applicable law, the reason for the request, and whether the subscription has been substantially used.

Nothing in this policy limits any refund rights you may have under applicable law.

8. Price Changes

We may update subscription pricing from time to time.

Where required:

Existing subscribers will receive advance notice.

Changes will apply to future billing periods.
