Normally our policy is no refund. We do refund only for very rare cases.
The main problem with refunding has to do with taxation. It is very difficult to cancel an invoice since it is considered suspicious for tax authorities.
Ether Mailer sends you automatic emails both 5 days and 1 day before your auto subscription renewal as a reminder. You have 5 days to cancel your subscription.
