Our refund policy is no exception and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve always offered a generous 90-days money back guarantee for each license.<\/p>\n<p>I am sad to report that in the past year, this policy was\u00a0<strong>abused and tarnished by people of bad faith <\/strong>(i.e. <em>bad apples<\/em>). As developers and people who earn their living working, we cannot build anything of value for the world if it gets abused and undermined by people who&#8217;s motives were never to build something of value but to <strong>abuse, exploit\u00a0and make a few bucks<\/strong> in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The future of this project and all the people who\u00a0already rely on us\u00a0depends on the predictable continuation of our commitment\/work. And that is why, effective today, <strong>we are changing\u00a0our refund period to a respectable 14 days<\/strong>. We want fewer bad apples spoiling the fun for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve made this decision\u00a0in the interest\u00a0of\u00a0our loyal customers who&#8217;ve been supporting us for many many years and rely on us to be here tomorrow and deliver.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you and don&#8217;t forget to <strong>be kind <\/strong>to each-other.
