Refund Policy

Last updated: 27 July 2026

1. If you're in the EU: your 14-day right of withdrawal

As a consumer in the European Union, you normally have the right to withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days, without giving a reason, and get a full refund.

For digital content like Root Access — where you get access immediately, before the 14 days are up — EU law lets us ask you to give up that right in exchange for immediate access. We only treat that right as waived if you explicitly agreed to it at checkout (a separate checkbox, not pre-ticked, stating that you consent to immediate access and acknowledge you lose the withdrawal right once it begins). If you didn't see and tick that checkbox when you subscribed, your 14-day right still applies in full, and we will refund you in full if you ask within that window.

2. After the 14 days, or outside the EU

Once the withdrawal window has passed (or been validly waived), or if you're subscribing from outside the EU, refunds are not automatic but we do consider them — for example if the service was unavailable due to a fault on our side, or you were charged in error. Email support and we'll look at it in good faith. We do not offer refunds simply because you changed your mind after using the content extensively.

3. Cancelling vs. refunding

These are different things:

  • Cancelling your subscription stops future renewals. You keep Root Access until the end of the period you already paid for — see our Terms of Service, Section 11.
  • Refunding returns money already charged, per this policy.

You can cancel any time from your account page.

4. How to request a refund

Email us at thehacksparrow.com/contact with the email address on your account and the reason for your request. We review and approve refunds ourselves — Stripe is our payment processor, not an independent party you need to contact separately for a refund. Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method; processing times depend on your bank or card provider.
