    I have a client that has a website that hasn't needed any revisions for about two years. When I go to use my elegant themes product, nothing works. I spent hours online with their so-called "chat support" to absolutely no avail. I have not been able to contact this company directly other than via their completely incompetent chat team. I had a website that was functioning when I began, but because of the interventions of the support staff, my website is completely gone. The only thing I can do is send an email and wait hours maybe days for a response. I got an email from someone claiming to be the support manager, but I doubt if she was any kind of a manager at all. I need to hear from somebody from this company by phone. It is frustrating when a company hides behind a little chat system and refuses to acknowledge its customers needs. If this company cannot reach out to me by phone I will have to demand a complete refund.

    These people are nothing short of evil. I bought their basic package but didn't like it so I didn't renew. No problem.... they just renewed for me and charged my card.... something I NEVER authorized. And just try and find a phone number on their web site. Got a bot that told me I had to log on to talk to them. As if I remember any of that.

    Hi *******, We have been in contact with you, but it seems like you have been missing our email replies. It's possible they may have gone to your spam folder. We did refund your credit card ending in **** on March 21, 2022 when you initially requested a refund under our 30-day refund policy. I don't see any other recent charges. You can view the refund receipt on this link: ******************************************************** If you received a more recent charge, we will need help to locate that. If you could provide the last 4 digits of the credit card used and the date of the transaction along with the amount, we can then investigate it further.
