  I signed up for a 7- day free trial and Angeles the service with 24 hours. When doing so they stated that the service I used was not a part of the 7 day trial. When I went in to cancel it showed a pending charge. I contacted them and they said I would not be issued a refund and as the problem was a personal issue since I used a service that was not included in the free trial which is not made clear in their site. Apparently this has happened to multiple clients and they are not transparent in the details of the free trial. They are getting peoples money for a service they will never use again and falsely promoting a 7 day free trial.

  Hi ******, thanks for bring you concern to our attention. It seems that there is some misunderstanding between us, wed like to explain it in more detail and see how we could assist further.
  
  Actually, yes, the 7-day trial is only for Effects & Plugins, it does not include the Filmora subscription. To bring a cool experience for users, Filmora team did their best to compatibility Effects & Plug-ins including ***** FX, NewBlue FX, Filmstock, and AI Portrait features within the program, it would be free for use within 7 days. So, when you select to buy, you will be charged for Filmora itself immediately. You may know more details from Filmora's purchasing page. We appreciate your feedback, and we'll keep improving and bring a better and better experience for our users!
  
  Back to your refund request, if there is a technical issue that cannot be resolved or a compatibility issue within 30 days after purchase, we will offer a refund. Here is our refund policy for your further reference.
  *********************************************************
  
  To help you out, our support team will evaluate your refund request further and then get back to you soon. Your patience is highly appreciated!

  As many others have detailed below, I signed up for a subscription to Wondershare ******* on 10/10/2023 thinking I was signing up for a 7-day trial. I was simply seeking to see if the product allowed me to help with a work project - I am NOT a video editor and have no use for this product otherwise. I only subscribed because I was under the impression it was a 7-day trial. It was not what I needed and I quickly canceled my subscription in less than 30 minutes from when I originally subscribed. However, I found that I was still charged $54.94. When I reached out to customer support they notified me that I had actually purchased the product license and the ***** trial only applied to a specific set of sub-features ****************Ins). I did not know I was also opting into that subscription as many others have noted here. It is unclear on the website and throughout the subscription process, despite their claims that the teeny checkbox at the bottom "is clear". Luckily I was told this and was able to cancel my second subscription, otherwise I would have been charged another $20 unwillingly. After requesting a refund for the $54.94 given my lack of use of the product license, I was promptly denied and given very condescending customer support resource that said I was "confused". Despite a second polite request to reconsider the circumstances, I was again denied because of my "confusion". It's clear from complaints here and elsewhere that I am not the only one "confused" by this misleading marketing tactic. To deny a refund seems like a very poor business practice and I am appalled at their inflexible customer service approach. I have never encountered this type of service from another business. They intentionally make it so that you are opting in to these additional subscriptions, make it unclear what falls under the 7-day trial and what doesn't, then refuse to offer any refunds. It all feels very ******

  On Sept 30, 2023, I purchased a license for the ****** *** (the "***") offered by Wondershare - purchase price $131.61 Order No.: #***********. At the company's website, it states that this *** is compatible with the ******, even including a picture of the ****** etc. On October 2, 2023, since the *** kept crashing on my PC and would not install on my ******, I contacted Wondershare. Wondershare confirmed that the ****** *** is not compatible with the ******. To this I requested a full refund on October 2, 2023 (First Request); October 8, 2023 (Second Request); October 9, 2023 (Third Request); and I made a Fourth Request on October 10, 2023. To date, the company refuses to refund my money, and instead coerces me in bad faith to UPGRADE to purchase the ************ 15 ***, which is something I do not want or need. Please assist. Wondershare has all information about this matter to proceed to issue a refund per e-mails exchanged with the same.**************************

  Purchased software from wondershare. software is very buggy, corrupted my system, and did not do what it was supposed to do. I have tried through chat room tech support, on phone support,I have to roll my computer back to a previous restore point in order to restore it to functionality.I have only purchased it 4 days ago, and (1) it doesn't work (doesn't deliver what it claims) (2) make it very difficult to get a refund( they want me to work with their software engineers to resolve the problem - that's their job not mine)

  1 year ago I paid $50 for a "permanent" license for Filmora. On September 22, 2023 they charged me an additional $49.99 which had not been authorized and as I do not use the software, I had not been in to order anything more. This new charge was never authorized by me and I want that $49.99 refunded.

  Business Response

  Date: 26/09/2023

  Thanks for sharing your problem here. Upon checking, we found that you purchased a yearly license for Filmora on 21 September 2022 (check details in the attached invoice) and the auto-renew will go on if you have not canceled it manually. That is the reason you were deducted $49.99 again this year.

  On September 4, 2023 I purchased a digital copy of ******* Video Editor from Wondershare. When I tried to run the program, it froze my computer. Since this project needed to be submitted the following Monday, I tried to contact support from Wondershare but was unsuccessful. With no other options, I was forced to purchase a different program from another source which works fine. I've tried to contact Wondershare for a refund with no success. I filed a complaint with *** *** but, I guess I slipped through the cracks and was denied a refund. I'm not too happy with ****** right now but, Wondershare is absolutely a *******.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. Their reply is that they are sorry and are looking into the matter and ask for my patience.  At this point they have NOT offered a satisfactory resolution but, I will give them a week or two to "look into the matter".  As I said in my original complaint: the project was due on Monday and a response from Wondershare over a week-end wasn't going to happen, so I was forced to purchase another video editor.  Therefore, I am not interested in Wondershare making their product work, I am only interested in a refund.  Should their resolution be anything other than a refund, I will file another complaint with the BBB.

  So I purchased a one-time license for the ******* product from Wondershare on 7/3.
  
  Apparently, there is a thing in their cart where you have to opt out of a second subscription product by unchecking a box. (Not sure that is actually legal?)
  
  Anyway, I didn't uncheck the box to opt out because honestly, it's buried on the sales page and I certainly wasn't expecting them to try to trick me into buying a subscription.
  
  I was charged two subscription fees that I didn't intend to buy at $20.88 (total cost $41.76).
  
  When I realized I was going on, I canceled the subscription. I also contacted the company, because I wasn't actually sure why I was being charged. When they told me that it was something I needed to opt out of on the sales page, I requested a refund.
  
  They refused a refund, saying they'd send me an email before withdrawing my money. The thing is, they send A LOT of emails! I honestly think it's part of the deception. There are more sales emails than you can read, which allows them to get away with tricking you into this subscription.
  
  When I pressed them, service rep Ezra told me I had personal problems.
  
  I would like my $41.76 refunded. I feel like I was tricked into this subscription purchase in a way that was ***** and possibly illegal in the jurisdiction where I live.

  Thanks for sharing your experience. I understand your feelings, it would be
  very doubtful if were renewed without being
  aware of it. Upon checking, we found that you purchased a ********* license
  of ******* together with a 7-day free trial plan of Effects & Plug-ins.
  
  To bring a cool experience for users, *******
  team did their best to compatibility Effects & Plug-ins including Boris FX,
  NewBlue FX, Filmstock, and AI Portrait features within the program, it would be
  free for use within 7 days and the user will be automatically charged per month
  if he/she has not canceled before the trial duration ends. This is the reason you were deducted money after one week. To avoid any trouble
  caused by it, we have especially explained this point in more detail before the
  customer purchases it from the shopping cart. To better address your concern, our ****** support will investigate this matter further and then keep you

  I am rejecting this response because:

  You need to refund my money IMMEDIATELY. No more messing around. You used deceptive and possibly illegal sales techniques to trick me into buying that subscription. I'm not sure how you keep getting away with it, but you need to refund the people you've deceived, starting with me.

  I have been fairly quiet with my story, but definitely won't hesitate to share my experience with FTC, the media, and all over the Internet if my money isn't refunded promptly.

  I understand your

  I purchase a subscription to Wondershare ******* on 8/9/2023 under the impression that is was a 7 day free trial that would not be charged to me as long as I canceled it in a timey manner, which I did. However, one month later when I was reviewing my charges I see that I was in fact charged $54.94 for a subscription even though I had canceled it and even received a confirmation email that it had been canceled. I immediately gave them a call and was informed that I had only canceled Effects and Plug-in's. I was unaware that when I had signed up I had purchased two separate subscriptions and so I has still being charge for *******. The representative went on to tell there was no way a refund could be issued because I was two days outside of the 30 day period in which refunds are granted. I asked to speak with someone else an was very rigidly denied and told I would not be getting any money back. I went back through my email to see if I ever got notification of the $54.94 purchase and found a very shady invoice. The email was from Wondershare and was titled "******** ** ******* ******** **** ***********". In the email you had to click on a link that would take you to their site where you have to follow some more steps to access the invoice. If I had done this to begin with I would have seen the charge and disputed it, but the email had seemed strange and a hassle so I had ignored it knowing I was canceling the subscription anyway. It would seem to me this is by design so people don't actually know what they are being charged. I was sent a separate email with confirmation of my one year registration information that detailed no charges.

  This business is profiting off of misleading information and unreasonable return policies. They know exactly what they are doing by ******** people into a no refund policy unless you have a very specific technical issue. They have no intention of changing this because it is working..$$. I was ******* into thinking I was signing up for a 7 day trial, when I went to cancel it because I wasn’t happy with the product. I looked at my bank and saw a charge for $79 for a one year subscription. Of course they will not refund this because that is the whole ****. They have done a very good job at making it very confusing for the customer and putting things in tiny print. I am asking for a full refund.

To bring a cool experience for users, ******* team did their best to compatibility Effects & Plug-ins including ***** **, ******* **, *********, and ** ******** features within the program, it would be free for use within 7 days.  So, when you selected to buy, you would be charged for ******* itself immediately. You may know more details from *******'s purchasing page.
  
  We believe that our policy is fair and reasonable, as it reflects the costs and effort involved in processing refunds. Please note that refunds are only provided under certain circumstances, in accordance with our policy.
