What it is

Strava generally does not provide refunds for subscription fees, except that users outside the US may be entitled to a 14-day cooling-off refund under local law.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The no-refund policy establishes Strava's standard position on subscription payments, while the carve-out for non-U.S. residents reflects jurisdictional compliance with consumer protection regimes that mandate cooling-off periods. This provision structures the financial terms governing subscription termination.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

US-based Strava subscribers cannot obtain a refund for subscription fees under any circumstances recognized in the Terms, creating financial risk if a subscription is accidentally renewed or the service does not meet expectations.
