VERY DISSAPOINTED ::: NO FREE TRIAL
VERY DISAPPOINTED! NO FREE TRIAL.. MY CARD WAS CHARGED WITHOUT MY CONSENT. During the " free trial," the software asked me to make a choice between monthly billing and annual billing - I HAD NO idea that I was canceling my free demo in the first 3 minutes and was billed for the annual plan. Then I looked around, hit a couple of download buttons, and got an email from my bank saying my card had been charged. I was DUMBFOUNDED - since I thought I was, of course, on a 3-day demo - I immediately canceled my account. And after asking repeatedly for a refund, it was denied because I " UPGRADED " AND " DOWNLOADED. " This website is full of trickery to get you to subscribe... and they didn't even give me one hour of a free trial. IT WAS NOT INDICATED THAT I WAS UPGRADING. In fact the software told me that it was ONLY AUTHORIZING my credit card.. and I never accepted the $197 charge.. It doesn't help that the online servece was glitching - and i had to restart my browser. I was ONLY shopping the service - and quickly realized that it was not what I needed. So... $197 dollars completely shot - I WILL NEVER EVER come back ...

Hi Scott, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that all customers begin with a 3-day free trial. During the trial, customers have the option to remain on the free trial or deliberately upgrade to a paid membership by selecting a plan and confirming the upgrade. This is a separate process from the card verification completed when starting the trial. Our records show that an annual membership was activated through the upgrade process and that content was subsequently accessed from the account. In accordance with our refund policy, activated memberships with accessed content are not eligible for a refund. I can see you've canceled your plan, however we can immediately activate it again so you can continue use your account. That said, we genuinely appreciate your feedback regarding the sign-up experience. We are continually reviewing the customer journey and take comments like yours seriously as we look for ways to make it even clearer. If you would like to discuss your experience further, our Customer Experience team remains happy to assist. Thanks, emanuals Team.
