Refund & Cancellation Policy

How to cancel, when you can get a refund, and how long it takes. No hassle, no hidden conditions.

Effective 2026‑09‑30 Operator Theme Park AG · Zurich Web via our checkout

In plain English

  • Supporter renews until you cancel — cancel any time, and you keep it to the end of the period you've paid for. No retroactive refund for time already used.
  • Bought on the web? A first‑time purchase can be refunded within 48 hours — just ask. In the EU and the UK you also have a 14‑day right of withdrawal (below).
  • In‑app subscriptions are billed and refunded by Apple or Google Play under their policies.
  • Founding contributions (Early Bird, Pioneer, Patron, Founder) are one‑time — nothing recurs. The app shipped on 30 September 2026, as promised.

Cancelling your subscription

Supporter renews automatically until you cancel. Cancel any time:

Cancelling stops the next charge. You keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for.

Refunds

Right of withdrawal — EU and UK

If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may withdraw from a Supporter subscription bought on the web within 14 days, without giving a reason: tell us in the DudesChat app, in your chat with the official DudesChat account, or by email to support@mail.dudes.chat (a model form is in our Terms). Because you asked for Supporter to start straight away when you bought it, we refund the price minus the value of the days you already had Supporter, within 14 days. The 14 days apply to a new purchase, not to a renewal. Our 48‑hour refund for first‑time purchases still applies in full. App Store and Google Play purchases follow the store's own rules.

Founding contributions

The founding tiers — Early Bird (CHF 59), Pioneer (CHF 99), Patron (CHF 199) and Founder (CHF 499) — are one‑time contributions in CHF, not subscriptions, processed through Open Collective (Stripe). They funded the build, and the campaign closes at 23:59 on 30 September 2026, Zurich time. The app shipped on 30 September 2026, which met the ship‑or‑refund guarantee. Questions about a contribution: message us via the contact form with the email on your contribution.

How to request a refund

For a web subscription or a founding contribution, message us via the contact form with the email you paid with — we refund to your original payment method. For an in‑app subscription, request the refund from Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play, since they processed the charge.

How long it takes

You'll usually get a response within 1 business day, and up to 4 business days at most. Once a refund is issued, the time it takes to appear depends on your bank or card issuer.
