KRATS REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Effective Date: 17 May 2026 Service Provider: KRATS Yazılım Faaliyetleri (Sole Proprietorship) — "KRATS"
This policy governs refunds, cancellation, and reimbursement for KRATS software subscriptions. Compliant with Turkish Consumer Protection Law, Distance Sales Regulation, and the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU).
1. PRODUCT NATURE
KRATS is a digital content / online service SaaS (Software as a Service) product:
- No physical delivery
- Instant digital access
- Continuous updates + cloud support
Therefore "shipping" or "physical returns" do not apply — however, cooling-off period + cancellation rights are explained under EU Consumer Rights Directive Art. 9 and Distance Sales Regulation.
2. 14-DAY COOLING-OFF (EU + UK + TR Consumers)
2.1 Statutory Cooling-Off Right
For consumer Users (natural persons, not acting for business/professional purposes):
- Cooling-off period: 14 days from agreement / first service access date
- Effect: Full refund to card account within 14 business days
- Method: Email to support@kratsonline.com → "Cooling-off request" subject, or via KEP
2.2 Exceptions to Cooling-Off (EU Directive Art. 16)
⚠️ NOTE: Cooling-off does NOT apply where:
- Service performance has started and User expressly waived the cooling-off right (consent at registration: "I waive my 14-day cooling-off period" checkbox)
- Digital content delivered and access/use began
- Fully paid service consumed entirely (e.g., one-day consultation)
2.3 KRATS Policy Preference
KRATS, more customer-friendly, applies:
- ✅ Cooling-off accepted even if service used in first 14 days
- ✅ Full refund (not pro-rata)
- ✅ Usage data (patient records) can be exported before refund
Exceptions:
- After 14 days, cooling-off no longer available
- Trial / Free plan users not eligible for cooling-off (already free)
3. SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION
3.1 Cancellation Method
By User:
- Portal → Account Settings → "Cancel Subscription" button
- Or: Email to support@kratsonline.com requesting cancellation
- Or: Direct cancellation via Paddle payment portal
By KRATS (with 10 days' notice):
- Non-compliance with these terms
- 30-day payment delay
- Legal obligation
3.2 Effect of Cancellation
Automatic renewal stops:
- Cancellation effective immediately
- Current subscription period continues with usage until end
- Service ceases at period end
- 30-day data export window (Section 6)
No early refund (general rule):
- Monthly subscription cancellation mid-month → no refund for unused days
- Annual subscription cancellation mid-year → no refund for remaining months (except 14-day cooling-off)
KRATS policy flexibility:
- For annual subscriptions cancelled after 14 days with material reason (e.g., clinic closure), pro-rata refund may be granted (at KRATS's discretion)
- Request via email; KRATS evaluates within 7 days
4. PARTIAL REFUND (PRO-RATA)
4.1 When Applicable
KRATS issues pro-rata refund in the following cases:
- SLA Breach — if uptime falls below 99.5% → pro-rata of affected period
- Material Feature Removal — if a critical plan feature is removed, User may terminate → refund of remaining period
- Annual Subscription Early Cancellation (discretionary) — KRATS may grant in case of material reason (e.g., clinic closure)
4.2 Calculation
Pro-rata refund = (Annual fee × Remaining months) / 12 months
Example: 10,000 TRY annual subscription, cancelled after 4 months → pro-rata refund = 10,000 × 8/12 = 6,667 TRY
5. NON-REFUNDABLE CASES
KRATS does NOT refund:
- ❌ 14-day cooling-off expired + no early cancellation reason
- ❌ Account closed for terms-of-service violation (Section 5 — TOS)
- ❌ Trial / promotional periods
- ❌ "I don't like it" subjective reason (after 14 days)
- ❌ Third-party vendor outages (Cloudflare, Paddle, etc. — KRATS not responsible)
- ❌ Force majeure (earthquake, war, epidemic)
6. DATA EXPORT AND DELIVERY
