7-Day Refund Policy Explained
Quick Answer
You can request a refund for purchased leads within 7 days of purchase by contacting support via chat or email. Each request is evaluated on a case-by-case, good-faith basis, with responses typically within 48 hours. Refunds are not automatic but consider factors like lead quality, contact information accuracy, and your attempt to reach the client.
