Refund Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

Shiftctl is operated by an ABN-registered Australian sole trader. This policy applies to all paid subscriptions and is designed to comply with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and applicable US state laws.

Free tier

Shiftctl offers a permanent free plan. You can fully evaluate the core product before upgrading to a paid plan. No payment details are required to use the free tier.

Change of mind

We do not offer refunds for change of mind once a billing period has started. This applies to both monthly and annual plans.

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain full access to your paid plan features until then.

Annual plans

Annual subscriptions are non-refundable. If you cancel an annual plan, you will retain access to your paid features until the end of the paid period. No partial refunds are issued for unused months on annual plans.

Service failure

If the Service fails to function materially as described, or experiences significant unplanned downtime attributable to Shiftctl, we will provide a pro-rata credit or refund for the affected period. To request a remedy, contact us at support@shiftctl.com within 30 days of the incident.

Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes any rights you have as a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law. If the Service has a major failure, you are entitled to a remedy under the ACL regardless of this policy. "No refund" clauses do not apply to faulty or misdescribed services under Australian law.

UK — Consumer cooling-off right

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, UK consumers normally have a 14-day right to cancel a digital service contract. However, this right is waived where you explicitly consent to immediate access and acknowledge the loss of the cancellation right before the service begins.

At checkout, UK subscribers are required to tick a checkbox confirming that the service begins immediately and that the 14-day cancellation right is waived. If you did not see or complete this step, please contact us at support@shiftctl.com within 14 days of subscribing.

US — Auto-renewal disclosure

Shiftctl subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current rate until cancelled. This applies in all US states, including California and New York, where explicit auto-renewal disclosure is required by law.

You will be notified of any price change at least 30 days in advance. You can cancel at any time from Settings → Billing → Manage subscription.

How to request a refund

  • Email support@shiftctl.com with your account email, the reason for the request, and any relevant details.
  • We will respond within 5 business days.
  • Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within 5–10 business days via Stripe.

Disputes

If you believe a charge was made in error or you have a dispute, please contact us before initiating a chargeback. Most issues can be resolved quickly. Chargebacks initiated without prior contact may result in suspension of your account while the dispute is investigated.
