The Constitution of India and Compare Acts content in the App are free to read and are not affected by this policy. This page covers refunds for the optional Premium subscription only.

1. Billing Through Apple & Google

Premium is sold as an auto-renewing subscription processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not receive or store your payment details, and we cannot issue refunds directly — all refund requests and approvals are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies.

2. Requesting a Refund

• iOS/App Store: Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, or Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your device.
• Android/Google Play: Open the Google Play app → Menu → Payments & subscriptions → Budget and orders, and select the order.

3. Cancelling Your Subscription

You can cancel at any time from the same App Store / Google Play settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not automatically refund the current billing period.
