ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The non-refundable default means Customer cannot recover fees already paid if service is cancelled or terminated, subject only to the exceptions in section 3.2.

Interpretive note: The content of section 3.2 exceptions is not available in the excerpt; those exceptions may materially limit the practical scope of the non-refundable rule.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Fees you pay are not refundable unless you qualify for an exception described in section 3.2.
