Refund Policy
This document compiles the provisions relating to refunds by excerpting the relevant parts from the DARE Terms of Service and the DARE Privacy Policy provided by SystemMetrix Co., Ltd. for the international (Covered Territory) services.
The principal provision governing refunds is Article 9 (Cancellation and Refunds) of the Terms of Service. The remaining excerpts are related provisions that reference refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, or payment processing.
The excerpted text is reproduced from the source documents without modification. These excerpts are provided for reference only, and in the event of any inconsistency, the original Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (each effective May 29, 2026) shall prevail.
Part 1. Terms of Service
Article 1 (Definitions)
10. "Paddle" means Paddle.com Market Limited or the relevant Paddle group entity that, as merchant of record, handles sales processing, payment, billing, taxes, receipts, refunds, chargebacks, and other purchase-related processing in connection with purchases of Paid Licenses through the DARE Store.
Article 7 (Purchase and Payment Processing by Paddle)
2. Sales processing, payment, billing, taxes, receipts, refunds, chargebacks, and other purchase-related processing for purchases of Paid Licenses through the DARE Store are handled by Paddle, the merchant of record.
3. In addition to these Terms, purchases by the User may be subject to buyer-facing terms, refund policies, and other purchase-related terms established by Paddle.
8. After a purchase through Paddle is successfully completed, the Company is responsible for issuing or making available the applicable Paid License. If there is a discrepancy between payment completion and license activation, the User shall contact the Company in the manner prescribed by the Company. However, payment, refund, chargeback, and other purchase-related procedures may be processed through Paddle.
Article 8 (Subscriptions and Automatic Renewal)
4. Cancellation of a Subscription stops future renewals or charges after the end of a Free Trial, and does not mean that the User is automatically entitled to a refund for a usage period that has already begun.
5. Even after cancelling a Subscription, the User may use the Paid License until the end of the usage period that is valid at the time of cancellation. This shall not apply if the Company suspends the Paid License for legitimate reasons, including unauthorized use, a refund, a chargeback, a payment cancellation, or a notice from Paddle.
6. If payment cannot be confirmed, payment is rejected, a chargeback occurs, a refund is made, or Paddle notifies the Company that a purchase, renewal, or payment has not been completed, the Company may suspend or terminate provision of the Paid License.
Article 9 (Cancellation and Refunds)
1. The User may cancel automatic renewal of a Subscription through the subscription management screen of the DARE Store or by another method designated by the Company. The cancellation procedure may be conducted through a buyer portal provided by Paddle.
2. Due to the nature of digital software and licenses, all fees incurred after purchase or renewal of a Paid License or after the end of a Free Trial are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable laws, Paddle’s refund policy, the terms displayed at the time of purchase, or as otherwise approved by the Company.
3. If a technical payment error attributable to the Company or Paddle, an erroneous charge, duplicate charge, or other billing error occurs, a refund or adjustment may be made in accordance with the method established by the Company or Paddle. Duplicate purchases caused by the User’s operational error, incorrect selection of purchase details, or the User’s convenience are not eligible for refund, except as required by applicable laws, Paddle’s refund policy, the terms displayed at the time of purchase, or as otherwise approved by the Company.
4. Refunds, chargebacks, cancellations, and other purchase-related procedures may be processed in accordance with Paddle’s buyer-facing terms and refund policy.
5. Nothing in this Article limits any cancellation, refund, withdrawal, or other rights that a User who is a consumer may have under mandatory laws of the country or region in which the User resides.
Article 13 (Data Communications and Privacy)
3. Information acquired or processed by Paddle in connection with payment, billing, taxes, receipts, refunds, chargebacks, and other purchase-related matters may be subject to Paddle’s privacy policy, buyer-facing terms, and other terms established by Paddle.
Article 19 (Suspension of Use and Termination)

3. payment delay, payment rejection, chargeback, fraudulent payment, refund, payment cancellation, or other payment-related problem occurs;
7. Paddle notifies the Company of a problem relating to purchase, renewal, payment, refund, chargeback, cancellation, or other purchase-related matters, and the Company reasonably determines that suspension of the Paid License, suspension of the DARE Account, or other measures are necessary; or
