      Open Text Corporation is the parent for REMOVEDwhich has been unable or unwilling to resolve my renewed license issue.

      I purchased two licenses valid through 12/10/2029 at $259.17 each – REMOVEDDespite NUMEROUS contacts with REMOVED, the license assigned to REMOVEDstill carries a message that the license has expired, even though the payment was processed and that I was billed four times for the two licenses. My efforts to resolve this with REMOVED, to date, have failed.

      Hi REMOVED,
      I want to help resolve this issue for you, but I cannot do so without the information I have requested.

      Your responses so far have not provided the details needed for me to investigate and assist further.

      I have also noticed that portions of your message are written in all capital letters, which can come across as confrontational.

      I would appreciate it if we could keep our communication professional and focused on resolving the issue.

      Please provide the requested information at your earliest convenience so I can continue my review.
      Regards,
      REMOVED

      I am writing to file a complaint against REMOVEDan Open Text Corp product regarding their refusal to provide a partial refund for services I can no longer use. * REMOVED 
      1)I have been a loyal REMOVEDcustomer since 2016, paying annually via automatic renewal.

      2) On 1-27-2021, I received an offer to prepay for three years of REMOVEDservices, which I accepted.

      3)The service automatically renewed on 3-26-2024, for an additional three years at $356.37.

      4)There was no mention in the offer or receipt that this payment was non-refundable.

      5)Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am required to close my business and no longer need the service.

      6)I contacted REMOVEDto request a partial refund and was informed they only offer refunds within 30 days of purchase.

      7)I explained I was simply requesting credit for 16 months of unused service—about $158.00—but they refused.

      8)I asked to escalate the matter and was told on 11-10-2025 that a supervisor would call me back within 25 minutes. No one called.

      9)On 11-11-2025, I reached out again, started over with a new rep who transferred me to a supervisor.

      10)The supervisor reiterated the same refusal...my refund window had expired.

      11)I asked to speak with someone in upper mgmt, but was told they do not take calls and that their email addresses are private. REMOVED

      Complaint: REMOVED



      In response to REMOVED’s request for documentation, I am providing the following details:  REMOVEDthe first representative I spoke with was REMOVED, who provided me with Case Number REMOVED. REMOVEDstated that a supervisor would contact me by phone within approximately 25 minutes. No one contacted me.

      The following day, I reached out to REMOVEDagain. I explained the situation to the representative I was connected with, and she informed me she would transfer the chat to a supervisor. I was eventually connected with a supervisor. Unfortunately, I do not have the names of either the representative or the supervisor from this second interaction.

      I logged into my REMOVEDaccount today in an attempt to retrieve the chat transcript, but it is no longer available for me to view. I am hopeful that REMOVEDwill still have access to those communications on their end, as they are relevant to my case.



      Sincerely,

      Hello REMOVED

      It seems you had spoken to REMOVED, he is a manager, it also seems that the services have been accessed as of this November. 

      Therefore, no refund is due.

      Complaint: REMOVED



      I am rejecting this response because: One of the representatives I spoke with in November told me to be sure to download any items that I may need prior to closing the account and I did so. Please note, I am simply requesting credit for the 16 months of "unused service", about $158.00.

      Open Text Inc. is charging REMOVEDfor a service we do not want and requested to cancel. We thought it was cancelled a year ago and haven't used the service. We were told we need to pay for the service first, and then they will reimburse us. They won't cancel it without this full payment. REMOVEDWe want the charges dropped, as we don't want the service and have emailed them twice about cancelling the service. We only received demands to pay and no indication that the service is cancelled.

       It appears that they I’m still being expected to pay for a service and to extend it until June 2026. So NO, it hasn’t been resolved. Can you please help me resolve this issue?

      Good Afternoon

      After further investigation from our billing teams, the cancellation was not submitted to the appropriate area, however, it has been decided that opentext will approve the cancellation and credit the amount outstanding.
