Your rights

While Grammarly's terms generally state auto-renewal charges are non-refundable, many companies offer goodwill refunds if you haven't used the service since renewal. If they refuse, you may be able to initiate a chargeback through your bank, disputing the transaction as an unauthorized or unexpected charge, especially if you can prove non-use.

Step by step

1Immediately check your Grammarly account to confirm the auto-renewal date and verify that you haven't used the service since the charge. Take screenshots if possible.
2Contact Grammarly support directly through their website's help center or by email as soon as possible after the charge. Speed is crucial.
3Clearly explain that you were charged for an auto-renewal you did not intend to continue and have not used the service since the renewal date. Politely request a full refund.
4If Grammarly refuses a refund, contact your bank or credit card provider to discuss initiating a chargeback. Provide them with all relevant details, including your attempts to resolve the issue with Grammarly and proof of non-use.

What they'll say, and your comeback

“Our terms and conditions state that auto-renewal charges are non-refundable.”

Comeback, I understand your policy, but I haven't used the service since this renewal. I am requesting a goodwill refund given my lack of usage.

“You agreed to auto-renewal when you signed up for the subscription.”

Comeback, While I may have initially agreed, I overlooked the renewal notification and have not benefited from the service during this billing period. I'd appreciate a refund.

FAQ

How long do I have to request a refund for an auto-renewal?

It's best to act immediately, ideally within a few days of the auto-renewal charge. The longer you wait, especially if you use the service, the harder it becomes to get a refund.

Will cancelling my Grammarly subscription prevent future auto-renewals?

Yes, cancelling your subscription ensures that you will not be charged again in the future. However, it does not automatically refund any charges that have already been processed.
