Refund Policy

Effective date: September 3, 2026. This policy explains refunds and cancellations for paid IGCSE Pseudocode Compiler plans.

What this covers

  • This policy applies to paid subscriptions purchased on this site (for example Student, Starter, and Pro), including monthly and yearly renewals.
  • The compiler, practice questions, and other free features do not require payment, so they are not part of this policy.
  • Custom school or Advanced licences quoted by email follow this policy unless the written quote says otherwise.

14-day refunds

  • You can request a full refund within 14 days of a purchase or renewal charge.
  • If we approve the request, we refund that charge in full to the original payment method.
  • Paid-plan access may end once the refund is processed. Free features stay available.

How to request a refund

  • Email hello@pseudocode-compiler.sherlemious.com from the address you used at checkout.
  • Include the plan name, the approximate purchase or renewal date, and your Paddle receipt or transaction ID if you have it.
  • We aim to reply within two business days.

Cancellations

  • You can cancel a subscription at any time to stop future charges. You keep paid access until the end of the current billing period.
  • Cancelling does not automatically refund time already paid. Ask for a refund separately if you are still inside the 14-day window.

Exceptions

  • Duplicate charges, tax mistakes, and other billing errors are always refunded.
  • Requests after 14 days are considered case by case, for example if paid features were unavailable for an extended period.
  • We may decline a refund if the account was closed for violating the Terms, or if repeat requests look like abuse.

Paddle and your rights

  • Payments are processed by Paddle, who is the Merchant of Record for purchases on this site.
  • Refunds are issued by Paddle to the original payment method and usually appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer.
  • This policy does not limit any rights you have under applicable consumer law, including UK and EU cooling-off rules where they apply.
  • If you need to dispute a charge, contact us first. Chargebacks opened without notice may lead to the paid account being suspended while they are investigated.

Policy updates

  • We may update this policy to reflect legal, billing, or product changes.
  • The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
