Refunds.
Effective: April 2026
RecipeGen is currently free at every feature, so for now there is nothing to refund. The framework below describes how refunds will work once the premium tier launches.
The current free tier — every recipe, plan, pantry, grocery, and AI feature within the daily budget — has no charge and therefore no refund.
Premium subscriptions and any one-time purchases will be processed by Apple (on iOS) and Google (on Android) under their standard in-app purchase systems. Refunds for those transactions follow each platform’s standard process:
- App Store (iOS / iPadOS / macOS): use reportaproblem.apple.com, or in the app go to Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → cancel. Apple’s standard refund window is 90 days from purchase.
- Google Play (Android): use the Play Store app → Account → Order history → Report a problem. Google handles refunds within 48 hours of purchase automatically; beyond that, IdeaGen can request a refund on your behalf — email us.
Apple and Google make the final decision on these platform refunds; we don’t override them.
If the platform refund flow is unresolved or doesn’t apply (e.g. you’ve been charged for a service we didn’t deliver, or the app hasn’t worked correctly for an extended period), email james@ideagen.tech with:
- The Apple ID / Google account email used for the purchase
- The transaction ID or receipt screenshot
- A short note about what went wrong
We’ll respond within two business days and either issue the refund directly or escalate it with Apple / Google on your behalf.
When premium launches, cancelling a subscription stops future billing but does not automatically refund the current period. You keep premium features until the period you’ve already paid for ends. Cancel anytime — Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on iOS, or Play Store → Subscriptions on Android.
Where local consumer-protection law grants stronger rights — the EU 14-day cooling-off period for digital purchases, UK Consumer Rights Act, California digital-purchase rules, Malaysia’s Consumer Protection Act — those rights apply on top of this policy. We don’t try to contract around them.
