3. Subscription and Refund Policy

Membership Services

Billing and Renewals

By purchasing a membership, users authorize recurring billing through approved payment processors including Stripe. Subscriptions may automatically renew unless canceled before the next billing date.

Users are responsible for maintaining accurate payment information.

Cancellations

Users may cancel subscriptions through account settings or by contacting support. Cancellation requests stop future renewals but do not automatically generate refunds for prior charges.

GPN reserves the right to deny refund requests involving:

• Abuse of the platform
• Fraudulent activity

Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Users agree to contact GPN support before initiating chargebacks. Fraudulent or abusive chargebacks may result in account suspension, permanent bans, collections activity, or legal action where permitted.
