Nieuczciwe podejście do klienta! Reklamowana jako darmowa aplikacja, okazuje się płatną, po 14 dniach za 14,99zl, koszt wrasta do 99zl za miesiąc! Nierzetelna informacja konsumencka. Niezwłocznie proszę zwrot niesłusznie pobranych pieniędzy z mojej karty kredytowej. W przeciwnym razie zgłaszam sprawę o wyłudzenie!

Cześć,

Przepraszamy za wszelkie zamieszanie i niedogodności. Warto zauważyć, że nasze usługi oferują darmowy dostęp do pobrania wersji tekstu prostego. Jednak pewne funkcje premium wymagają subskrypcji. Chcielibyśmy skorzystać z tej okazji, aby wyjaśnić wszelkie wątpliwości.

Nie oferujemy opcji jednorazowej płatności. Nasza 14-dniowa wersja próbna automatycznie odnawia się na dostęp miesięczny, dopóki nie zdecydujesz, że spełnia Twoje oczekiwania i nie zdecydujesz się anulować subskrypcji. Aby uniknąć jakichkolwiek nieporozumień, ta informacja jest udostępniana przed, w trakcie i po zakupie subskrypcji. Udostępniamy również tę informację w mailu powitalnym wysłanym podczas zakupu.

Chcielibyśmy pomóc Ci w zgłoszeniu zwrotu. Proszę sprawdzić wiadomość od nas, w której poprosimy o informacje dotyczące Twojego konta. Jesteśmy zdecydowanie zaangażowani w zmianę Twojego zdania o nas i zapewnienie, że otrzymasz doskonałą obsługę klienta, na którą z dumą liczymy.

Dziękujemy za poświęcony czas!

We’d like to clarify that our basic access accounts allow you to create and download a plain text version using our examples and tips.

However, if you would like to download, print or email a professionally formatted version of your new document using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format you’ll need to subscribe first for a small fee which we offer a 14-day trial option.

In addition, we do grant a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee if you are not satisfied with the end result!.

Hello,

We are very alarmed to know that you feel this way and are certainly prepared to change the experience you had with us. We would like to take this time to clarify any doubts. We provide multiple options available that include free and paid subscriptions. Our basic access allows you to create and download a plain text version using our examples and tips; however, if you would like to download, print, or email a professionally formatted version of your new document using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format, you will need to subscribe first for a small fee that provides you a 14-day trial—the same auto-renews to our monthly access until you decide that it has met your expectations and proceed to cancel your subscription.

In order to avoid any misunderstanding, this information is provided before, during, and after the subscription is bought. We also provide this information in the welcoming email sent during the purchase.

We have located your account and verified that your bank has issued multiple refunds. Your subscription has been canceled. Rest assured, you will not be charged again. We apologize for any misunderstanding.

Your website presented the service as "free". I only needed 1 resume to download to my computer. I choose your website because it led me to believe that the service was free. Please change website to make plain the cost for your service even if it is only $2.95.

When you cancel, be sure to get a Confirmation # and Confirmation email. These p.o.s. Charged me foe 4 months of usage, when I never even knew I had their service (as I had cancelled their service a week into the free 2 week trial). I noticed the charges and called to cancel and get a refund. The first person kept repeating the same info and then hung up on me when he went to get a manager. I called back and the next guy kept telling me I was talking to the right person when I asked for a manager. Absolutely horrendous company...avoid them. There are way better companies to use.

Hello, Elizabeth

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, we'd love to take this chance to explain some misinformation about our services. When you sign up for our 14-day trial, you’re automatically enrolled in our monthly subscription service, which we let you know at this stage that you may cancel at any time. Also, when we request your credit card information, we clearly explain that unless you self-cancel or request a cancellation before the end of your trial you authorize us to charge your credit card every four weeks at the regular price of the subscription.

As for the refund policy, we do not process any refunds on recurring charges as stated on our Terms and Conditions page. Our policy is as follows, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the end result during the first 14-days once those days are up we do not process any refunds. For more information please refer to our Term and Conditions page

In addition, we offer two types of accounts, the first one being a basic access account that gives you the chance to try out our builder before deciding to purchase our premium features, this account allows you to download the plain text version completely free. We also provide a full access account for a small fee that grants you 14-days to print, email, or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are not listed within the free account.

That being said, we hope that this helps clear out any confusion and if you have any other questions or concerns just simply contact our Customer Service Team for immediate assistance using the link provided below.
