No. All payments are final and non-refundable, including for unused time, except where a refund is required by South African consumer law. We offer a 7-day free trial so you can fully evaluate the product before paying — no card is charged during the trial.

Is my data private?

We store only your account, favorites, and viewing history. We never store patient-identifiable information.
