Charles Refund Policy

Version 2.0, effective November 7, 2026

This policy covers the one-time "Set it up for me" fee ($29.99). The Charles software itself is free, so there's nothing to refund for it. It's part of our Terms of Service and License Agreement.

1. Automatic refunds

We refund the whole fee automatically, without you asking, if:

We email you when we do.

2. Refunds on request

For any reason, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days of paying, even if your setup worked. Email support@charles-bot.xyz from any address with your order number (it's in the emails we sent you). After 14 days, refunds are up to us, except where the law requires one.

3. How refunds are paid

Refunds go back to the card or payment method you paid with, through Stripe, including any sales tax you paid. Most banks show them within 5 to 10 business days.

4. What we can't refund

DigitalOcean bills you directly for your server, and other services you use (your broker, AI providers) bill you directly too. We can't refund their charges. To stop DigitalOcean's charges, destroy the server in your DigitalOcean account. That also deletes Charles and everything stored on that server, so save anything you want to keep first.

5. If something's wrong

Please email us before disputing a charge with your bank. We'll fix the problem or refund you, usually within one business day.
