We understand that circumstances can change, and you may need to cancel your Style Elevation with Tara membership subscription or other services. This Cancellation and Refund Policy explains how cancellations work, whether refunds are available, and what you can expect in terms of continued access to content after cancellation. Our goal is to be transparent about our policies so you can make informed decisions.

(Note: This policy primarily covers our Style Membership Subscription service. If we introduce any other paid services or one-time purchases in the future, their cancellation/refund terms will be described at the time of purchase.)

1. Subscription Cancellation

How to Cancel: You may cancel your Style Membership subscription at any time, for any reason. There is no long-term commitment – you’re free to stop renewal whenever you choose. To cancel, you can:

• Log into your account on our Site, go to your Account Settings or Subscription section, and click the “Cancel Subscription” option. You may be asked to confirm the cancellation.
• Or, contact us directly via email at tara@styleelevationwithtara.com or by phone at (401) 578-7826, and our support team can assist with cancelling your subscription. (If emailing, please include your name and the email associated with your account so we can locate it. If calling and we miss you, leave a message and we will process the cancellation effective the date of your call or as specified.)

We recommend cancelling through your account dashboard for the fastest processing, but any contact method will suffice. There are no cancellation fees or penalties; we want the process to be as hassle-free as possible.

Effective Date of Cancellation: When you cancel your subscription, your membership will remain active until the end of your current billing period. We do not terminate your access immediately (since you have already paid for the ongoing period). Instead:

• If you are on a monthly plan and you cancel mid-month, you will retain access to all member content and features until your current month expires (on the date it was set to renew). For example, if your subscription normally renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 20th, you will still have access until the upcoming 15th.
• After the end of the paid period, your subscription will not auto-renew, and your membership will become inactive. At that point, you will lose access to new membership content and the community forum (subject to the grace period for past content – see Section 3 below).
• We will send a cancellation confirmation via email that states the date until which your membership benefits remain active. You are encouraged to save this confirmation for your records.

If you accidentally cancel or change your mind before the period ends, you may be able to reverse the cancellation by re-subscribing (you would need to re-enter payment info if the plan was fully canceled). Otherwise, you can always rejoin as a new subscription later.

Mid-Period Cancellation: As noted, cancelling mid-period does not trigger any prorated refund for the unused days. You simply get the full use of the service for that period and then it stops. We do this instead of prorating to keep things simple and fair, and because our content is digital and immediately accessible. Members often consume a month’s worth of value quickly (e.g., binge-watching videos or downloading guides), so pro-rating could be unfair to content that’s already been delivered or accessed.

2. Refund Policy

No Refunds on Subscription Fees: In line with standard practices for digital subscriptions, we do not offer refunds on membership subscription fees once a payment has been processed. This applies to both initial subscription payments and renewal payments. Key points:

• If you forget to cancel and your subscription renews, we generally will not issue a refund for that renewal. It is your responsibility to manage your subscription status. We do send renewal reminders in some cases (for example, if we ever offer an annual plan or a free trial that rolls into paid, we’d notify you) but for month-to-month, the expectation is you know the renewal date. As a courtesy, if you contact us very soon after an unwanted renewal (e.g., within 1-2 days) we may review on a case-by-case basis – but we do not guarantee a refund.
• If you cancel, as described above, you won’t be charged further but you also won’t receive a refund for the remaining days in the cycle; you’ll just continue to have access until it ends.
• If you are removed or banned due to violating our Terms of Service or Code of Conduct, you are not entitled to a refund. Misconduct leading to termination forfeits any fees paid, as stated in our Terms.
• If you decide to downgrade (if we had multiple plan tiers) or pause your membership, similar no-refund rules would apply to the current period, though downgrades would take effect from the next period.

Exceptional Circumstances: We understand that sometimes there are special situations. While our default is no refunds, you can always reach out to us if you believe there is a compelling reason for a refund and we will consider it. For example:

• If a billing error occurred (such as you were charged twice in one month due to a technical glitch) we will of course correct that and issue a refund or credit for the erroneous charge.
• If you were completely unable to access the content due to a technical fault on our side (for instance, our site was down for an extended period after you paid), we will make it right either by extending your membership or refunding the appropriate portion.
• If there is a medical or extreme personal situation that prevented you from using the service shortly after payment, and you have not accessed any content, you can explain the scenario to us. We are human and will try to accommodate if reasonable (e.g., offering a refund or credit in such hardship cases).

Any exceptions are at our sole discretion and do not waive our standard policy for future instances.

One-Time Purchases or Services: (For completeness) Currently, all our offerings are either free (like the quiz) or subscription-based (membership). If in future we sell one-off digital products (like an eBook or course) or physical goods, we will outline the refund policy for those at purchase. Generally, digital downloads are not refundable once downloaded, and physical goods might have a separate return policy.

3. Access After Cancellation

We have a unique approach to content access post-cancellation which is designed to be fair to both our members and our business model:

• Grace Period for Past Content: After your membership ends (either through cancellation or non-payment), we allow a grace period of 2 months during which you can still log in to your account and view the membership content that was released during your paid subscription period. This is essentially read-only access to what you had previously. We provide this grace period so that if you had missed some of the content or need to save any resources from the time you were subscribed, you have an opportunity to do so. It also gives you time to consider re-subscribing without losing what you already had.
  • During this grace period, you will not receive new content updates, but your account credentials still work and your profile and past content library remain intact.
  • If you do nothing and do not renew, at the end of the 2-month grace period, your account will be deactivated (meaning you can no longer log in), and all your member content access will be removed. The previously accessible materials will become inaccessible to you. Essentially, your membership record is archived. (We may keep basic info internally for record-keeping, but you won’t have access to the members’ area.)
• Reactivation Within 2 Months: If you change your mind and re-subscribe during the 2-month grace window, it’s almost as if your membership never left – your access to previous content is restored (since it never fully went away in grace period) and you’ll start receiving new content as well. The new subscription will pick up from the day you re-subscribe and move forward.
• After Account Deactivation: If more than 2 months have passed since your last paid period and you did not renew, your account is considered fully deactivated. If you later decide to join again, you would essentially be starting fresh as a new member. You can sign up with your old email (we can reactivate it, or you might have to create a new account if the old one was purged) and you will have access only to content from the new subscription date onward. You will not regain automatic access to the content from your previous subscription. That content was available during your membership and grace period, but once that window closed, it’s as if that library closed its doors. We make this clear to set expectations – we don’t want someone to resubscribe after a long gap expecting to see everything they missed in the interim or what they had before.
• 30-Day Content Catch-up: We have a special accommodation for short breaks: If your subscription lapses or is canceled but you come back within 30 days of the last active date, we will “fill in” the gap in content. This means any membership content that was published in the interim (up to one month’s worth) will be unlocked for you once you resubscribe. We offer this to cover situations like a credit card failure that took a couple weeks to sort out, or if someone forgot to update their payment and missed one cycle but returns quickly. We treat it as a continuous membership for content purposes.
  • Example: Your last payment was January 1 (covering January). You don’t renew on Feb 1. In mid-February (say Feb 15), you re-subscribe. Normally, you wouldn’t have February content because you weren’t active then. But since it’s within 30 days, we will grant you access to the content released in February that you missed, so you’re caught up.
  • On the other hand, if you return after, say, 45 days, we will not retroactively give you the content from that gap (in this example, February content remains inaccessible). You’ll just have March content onward, presuming you resubscribed in March.
• Content Subject to Change: Keep in mind that membership content might be updated or archived over time. Even as an active member, some older content could be rotated out or refreshed. Our policy above ensures you don’t lose access arbitrarily while a member, but after a long absence, some specific items from years past might no longer be available anyway if we’ve revamped the program. However, the spirit is that content you paid for is accessible during your membership.

4. Failed Payments and Account Holds

We mentioned this in our Terms, but reiterating key points in context of cancellation/refunds:

• If your payment method fails on a renewal date, we will usually attempt to notify you (via email) and will retry the charge after a short interval (a few days). During this retry period, your account might enter a “payment grace” state – we may allow a short grace period where you still have access while we attempt to collect payment. If payment succeeds on retry, your membership continues uninterrupted. If payment ultimately fails and isn’t resolved, your membership will be ended (effectively cancelled for non-payment). The date of last paid coverage is considered your end date, and the above rules (grace period access, etc.) apply from that date.
• We encourage you to keep your billing information up to date to avoid unintentional lapses. You can update card details via your account portal, and in many cases if a card expires, our payment processor might update via card updater services or we’ll prompt you.
• We do not charge late fees or anything like that; it’s either we get the subscription payment or the service stops.
• If your account was suspended due to violations and is under investigation (as per Terms), during suspension you won’t be able to access content. If the investigation goes past your billing renewal and we end up terminating you, we will not charge again. If somehow you were suspended but eventually cleared of wrongdoing and reinstated, we would ensure you get the service time you paid for (e.g., extend your membership to make up for time lost in suspension).

5. Deleting Your Account

If you choose to delete your user account entirely (not just cancel subscription), that is treated as a form of cancellation as well. Deleting your account will:

• Immediately revoke your access to the members’ area and any content (since the account no longer exists to log into). Even if you had remaining paid time, deleting the account forfeits that. We typically recommend canceling and letting the period run out rather than deleting immediately, so you don’t lose remaining access that you paid for.
• Not trigger a refund of any kind (as per our no-refund policy). It’s considered your choice to end the service immediately. We will warn you of this consequence if you initiate deletion while you have an active subscription (“Are you sure? This will terminate access now and you will not be refunded the unused time”).
• Remove your personal data from our user database (though we’ll retain transactional records as needed). If you delete before your subscription end date, we may anonymize your data but keep a record of the subscription for our internal accounting.
• Follow the same content removal as post-cancellation deactivation – you won’t have content access anymore, and if you rejoin later, it’s like a new user. So please only delete if you’re sure you don’t mind losing what’s left. Alternatively, just cancel and maybe leave the account if you think you might return.

6. Changes to Services or Pricing

While not exactly a “cancellation” from your side, we want to address what happens if we (the company) cancel or change something:

• If we discontinue the membership program entirely (for instance, decide to shut down the subscription service), we will notify you and automatically cancel your subscription at the end of the current billing cycle. If we were to end the service earlier than your current period, we would provide a refund for the unused portion. (E.g., if we decide to close operations effective immediately, and you paid for a full month, we’d refund the remaining days of the month.)
• If we temporarily suspend the service (maybe for a major site overhaul), we’d extend your subscription accordingly or prorate.
• If we change the price of the subscription or the billing frequency, we will inform you in advance. You would have the opportunity to cancel before the new pricing takes effect. If you continue, it means you accept the new price. No retroactive price changes will affect you mid-cycle.
• If we offer new plans (like an upgraded tier) and you switch, the billing will handle it such that you don’t lose value (prorating upgrade costs or downgrades taking effect later). Specific terms will be given at that time.

7. Contact Us for Cancellation Support

We aim to make self-service cancellation easy. However, if you encounter any issues with the cancellation process or have questions about your account status, please contact us. Our support is here to help and to clarify anything about your membership.

• Email: tara@styleelevationwithtara.com
• Phone: (401) 578-7826 (you can call or text this number if texting is easier; if texting, please identify yourself and your request clearly).

When contacting, providing your registered email or username will speed up locating your account. We may need to verify identity for security (especially if via phone, we might ask you to confirm a piece of info or use the email on file).

Our customer support hours are [business hours/days]. We generally respond within 1-2 business days at most (often sooner). If you email and don’t hear back in a reasonable time, please check spam folder or try again – we’re committed to addressing your needs.

8. No Resubscription Penalty

If you cancel, know that you are always welcome back! There are no reactivation fees or penalties for returning. You might end up paying a different price if our rates changed for new subscribers, but we often value returning customers and might have special offers.

If you canceled and later want to rejoin, simply subscribe again through the website. If your account was still existing (not deleted), you may log in and re-subscribe from your dashboard. If you deleted or if the account was deactivated after 2+ months, you’ll sign up like new. In either case, it’s straightforward – and you can use the same email unless we inform you otherwise.

One caveat: if your account was terminated by us for serious violation, we reserve the right to prevent rejoining under the same or any account (as per our Terms). Banned users are not allowed to circumvent bans. But for ordinary cancellations, come on back anytime.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cancellation and Refund Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes (for example, if we were to introduce a refund window or modify grace periods), we will notify active subscribers via email or a prominent site notice. Minor tweaks or clarifications may be updated here with a new “Last Updated” date.

It’s a good practice to review these terms periodically, especially before making a transaction. By continuing to use the membership or by signing up, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this policy. If you disagree with any future changes, you can cancel prior to the next billing as your remedy.

10. Summary

• Cancel Anytime: You have control. Cancel when you need to; you’ll keep access for the paid term but won’t be charged further.
• No Refunds: Generally, we do not refund subscription payments. Once a billing occurs, that period is set. Manage your account to avoid unwanted renewals. Exceptions are rare and at our discretion (billing errors, etc.).
• Post-Cancellation Access: We offer a 2-month post-cancellation access to past content as a courtesy. After that, account closed. Rejoin within 30 days to get missed content; otherwise, you resume fresh.
• No Hard Feelings: You can always come back, and we’ll welcome you. We stand by our content value and hope you enjoy it while you’re with us, and even after you leave, no pressure or gimmicks.

Thank you for being a part of Style Elevation with Tara. We appreciate your support and hope our policies demonstrate fairness and transparency. If anything is unclear, we’re one message away to help you out.

Remember, the fashion journey is ongoing – whether you’re a member or not, keep elevating your style! And if the time is right, we’ll see you again in the members’ area. Happy styling!
