1. Wallet Top-Up Refunds
If you deposit money into your AskMentor wallet and have not used any credits, you may request a full refund within 7 days of the transaction.
If you have partially used credits, a pro-rated refund for the unused portion may be issued at our discretion. Cashfree processing fees (if any) are non-refundable.
2. Mentor Unlock Refunds
When you unlock a mentor's bot, you receive a credit pack valid for a fixed duration. Refunds for mentor unlocks are subject to the following:
Full refund if mentor bot was unavailable
If the mentor's bot was in a broken or non-ready state at the time of unlock, we will issue a full refund to your wallet.
Refund if no interaction took place within 24 hours
If you unlock a mentor but do not start any interaction within 24 hours, contact support for a refund review.
Non-refundable after first interaction
Once you have sent at least one message to a mentor (even if the answer was unsatisfactory), the unlock is considered used and is non-refundable.
Expired access non-refundable
Access that has expired (after 7/14/30 days per tier) is not eligible for refund regardless of credits remaining.
3. Voice Interaction Refunds
Voice interactions (real-time audio sessions) consume 5 credits per turn and incur third-party TTS/voice API costs. Once a voice session turn has been processed, the credits are non-refundable.
