FAQ
Q: What if the company's refund policy says 'no refunds' after a certain period?
A: Politely cite any state/country consumer laws that may override the policy or request an exception as a goodwill gesture.
Q: Should I mention I will dispute the charge with my bank?
A: Only mention it in a final, firm follow-up if they ignore you; leading with it can sometimes slow resolution.
