Refund Policy

Refund Policy

📅 Last Updated: July 14, 2026

We want you to feel confident purchasing ShortlistsAI. Here's exactly how refunds work for both our one-time purchase and Pro subscription plans.

01 One-Time Purchase ($2.99 CV Optimize)

This is a single-use, instant-delivery digital product — you receive your optimized resume text immediately after purchase. Because the service is delivered instantly and the AI-generated output cannot be "returned," this purchase is non-refundable once the optimize has been generated.

Exception: if a technical error on our end prevented you from receiving your optimized resume (e.g. payment succeeded but the optimize failed and could not be retried), contact us within 7 days and we'll issue a full refund or re-run the optimize for you free of charge.

02 Pro Subscriptions (Monthly / Yearly)

You can cancel your Pro subscription at any time from your dashboard's Account & Billing page. When you cancel:

New subscribers: if you subscribe and decide within 48 hours that ShortlistsAI isn't right for you, and you have not used more than 1 optimize, cover letter, or proposal generation, contact us for a full refund of that first payment.

03 Billing Errors & Duplicate Charges

If you were charged more than once for the same purchase, charged after a subscription was already cancelled, or believe there's a genuine billing error, contact us immediately — these are corrected in full, no exceptions.

04 How Refunds Are Processed

All payments are processed by Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record. Approved refunds are issued back to your original payment method (card, PayPal, or UPI) and typically appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or provider.

05 What's Not Covered

We don't offer refunds based on job search outcomes (interviews, callbacks, or offers), since these depend on many factors outside our control — including the employer, the role, and the market. Our ATS and ShortlistsAI scores are guidance tools, not guarantees of hiring outcomes.
