Can I get a refund from Lightreel?

Lightreel advertises a **7-Day Money-Back Guarantee** on its Pro plan. If you've been charged, contact support within 7 days of the charge and reference the guarantee plus your exact billing date. The detailed terms aren't published, so keep your receipt. UK and EU customers may also have statutory refund rights, and a card chargeback is a fallback if support goes quiet.

Is there a cancellation fee for Lightreel?

No cancellation fee is advertised. Lightreel's pricing page states 'Cancel at any time' with no exit charge mentioned. You simply stop the renewal from your account. The main cost to watch is the $199/month plan itself and the short 3-day trial window before billing begins.

What if Lightreel ignores my cancellation or refund request?

Email support again in writing, quoting the advertised 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee and your charge date. If there's still no response, dispute the charge with your card issuer or PayPal, recurring AI-tool charges are a common, well-recognised chargeback category. UK/EU customers can also invoke statutory consumer rights. Keep every screenshot and email as evidence.

If you're charged and want your money back, request a refund within 7 days of the charge by contacting support.

How long does a Lightreel.ai refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note Lightreel.ai’s own policy works on a 7-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
