This policy explains our current free access and our intended approach to refunds and cancellation if paid subscriptions become available. It forms part of our Terms of Service.
1. Current access: free research preview
material.codes currently offers a free research preview, subject to usage limits. No paid subscriptions are available, and no credit card is required. There are no subscription charges to refund during the preview.
2. Future paid subscriptions
If paid subscriptions are introduced, our intended policy is that subscription payments are non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law. This includes partial refunds for unused time or unused allowances within a paid period. Prices, billing terms, and the applicable policy will be shown before you subscribe.
3. Cancelling a future subscription
Under this planned model, cancelling renewal will stop the next subscription charge. Your paid plan will remain active until the end of the period you have already paid for, with its features and usage limits. Cancellation will not end your paid access immediately.
Keeping access means keeping the remainder of the paid subscription period; unused allowances will not extend that period. Paid access will end when that period expires unless you renew.
4. Statutory rights
Nothing in this policy limits consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law, including any mandatory right to a refund. Where those rights apply, they take precedence over this policy.
