Australian Consumer Law Commitment

This Refund Policy is prepared in compliance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) — Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the ACL that cannot be excluded by agreement.

01 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

ClearAd offers a full 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid subscription plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise). If you are not completely satisfied with the Service for any reason, you may request a full refund within 30 calendar days of your payment date — no questions asked.

Simply:

  • Contact us within 30 calendar days of your payment date;
  • We will process a full refund with no conditions or exceptions.

02 Your Rights Under Australian Consumer Law

Under the ACL, you may also be entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement where a service:

  • Has a major failure that cannot be remedied within a reasonable time;
  • Does not match its description or is not fit for its advertised purpose;
  • Is not provided with due care and skill.

These statutory rights are in addition to our 30-day guarantee and cannot be limited or excluded by contract. To exercise these rights, contact support@clearad.ai or your State/Territory consumer protection agency.

05 After the 30-Day Window

After the 30-day guarantee period, subscriptions are non-refundable. You may cancel at any time to prevent future charges — your access continues until the end of the current billing period, then automatically reverts to the Free plan.

Free plan usage is not subject to any charges and therefore not eligible for a refund.

07 Payment Processing by Paddle

All payment transactions are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited, which acts as the Merchant of Record for ClearAd subscriptions. This means:

  • Refunds are issued by Paddle directly to your original payment method;
  • For technical payment issues, you may also contact Paddle Support at paddle.com;
  • Accepted payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal.

ClearAd does not store your full card details. All card data is handled securely by Paddle under PCI DSS Level 1 compliance.

08 Currency & GST

All prices are displayed in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the prevailing rate of 10% (A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999).

Refunds will be processed in AUD to your original payment method. ClearAd is not responsible for any foreign exchange fees or variances charged by your bank or card issuer.

A GST invoice will be provided for all subscription payments upon request — email support@clearad.ai.

09 Dispute Resolution

If your refund request is denied and you believe this is in error, you may:

  1. Reply to our refund decision email requesting escalation to our senior support team;
  2. If still unresolved, contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) at accc.gov.au;
  3. Contact your State or Territory Consumer Protection Agency (e.g., NSW Fair Trading, Consumer Affairs Victoria);
  4. For disputes involving digital goods, you may file a claim with the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) or equivalent in your State/Territory.
