Kindly note that if the sign-up displays the full subscription price for Prequel Gold, it indicates that you are not eligible for a Free trial.

4.4. When you purchase a subscription, you undertake an in-app purchase, and the payment for such purchase will be processed directly by the owner of the app store, and will be governed by their terms and conditions as well as other applicable policies. Please review and accept the terms and conditions of the app store with regard to your rights to cancel orders and get related refunds.

You agree that you will not receive money or other compensation for unused services.

While all purchases made through the Services are final and non-refundable, we do not restrict your right to request a refund directly through the app store where the purchase was made, in accordance with their respective policies and in cases where a refund may be applicable.

In such cases, we reserve the right to provide the app store with information regarding the user's in-app purchase consumption. This includes the following data: app usage time, anonymous account identifier, the total amount spent, and the total amount refunded.

This data will be shared solely to facilitate the refund evaluation process as required by the respective app store's policies and in compliance with applicable laws.

Following this approach, you consent to the collection and sharing of the consumption data with the respective app store in accordance with our Privacy Policy (available at https://prequel.app/privacy-policy). If you do not agree with this, you should not proceed with the purchase of a subscription or any other paid service within the app.
