Refund Policy
Service Quality Guarantee on First Sessions: We are committed to providing high-quality, impactful sessions every time you use coto. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of services of your first session with a new expert, we empower you to request a refund. This refund, including coto gains (if any) will be credited directly to your coto wallet, ensuring you have the freedom to choose another expert or service that better meets your needs. Please note, this quality guarantee is applicable only to your first session with any new expert. Repeat sessions with the same expert will not be eligible for refunds on ground dissatisfaction with the services of the Expert.
Refund for 1:1 sessions: Sessions that run for ten (10) minutes or more shall be strictly non-refundable under any circumstances. This rule applies irrespective of the user’s level of satisfaction, disagreement with the expert’s guidance, or subjective experience with the session. A session lasting exactly 10:00 minutes shall be treated as exceeding ten (10) minutes and will be non-refundable. Sessions that conclude before ten (10) minutes may be eligible for a refund, subject to a manual review by Coto. Refunds for such sessions are not automatic and will be granted only after assessing session logs, communication patterns, and the reason submitted by the user. For the purpose of calculating session duration, the time shall commence from the moment the expert joins, accepts, or otherwise establishes a live connection for the session on the Coto platform and shall continue until the session is terminated by either the expert or the user. All decisions made by Coto regarding refunds shall be final and binding.
Technical Difficulties: Full refund will be credited to User into the User’s coto Wallet if the service commerce session is unable to begin or an on-going session is interrupted due to any technical error attributable to coto. However, refunds will not be provided for user-side or network-related issues (e.g., device malfunction, poor connectivity, app not updated, user error).
Time Limit for Initiating Refund Request: To request a refund due to service quality or technical issues, you must do so within 12 hours of your session's conclusion. No refund requests will be considered after this 12-hour period has expired.
How to Request a Refund: To request a refund, please navigate the transaction list in your coto wallet and select the transaction that is available for refund. Once a refund request is submitted, you can view the status of your refund in the transaction details section in your coto wallet. If your refund request if approved, we will communicate the same to you via in-app notification and we credit the amount in your coto wallet including coto gains (if any). If your refund request is rejection, we will communicate the same to you via in-app notification. Should you wish to escalate the rejection, please contact our grievance team through our app or send us an email at grievance@coto.world from your registered email ID. Provide details of the session ID and the issue encountered. Please mention your username and phone number in your email.
Number of refunds permitted: Refunds requested due to service quality issues are subject to an overall ceiling limit. You are eligible to request a maximum of two refunds per month, with an annual limit of five refunds per year. Refunds requested due to technical difficulties are not subject to any ceiling limit.
Rejection of refund request: If your refund request is denied due to invalid reasons, policy abuse, suspicious behaviour, attempts to exploit session duration thresholds, fraudulent claims then you can't make further requests for the same transaction.
No refund of free credit: In the event that a user’s wallet is credited with bonus funds given by coto, it's important to understand that these funds are not eligible for a refund. These bonus credits are essentially a complimentary benefit provided by coto, intended to enhance the user experience on our platform. They are not tied to any financial transaction made by the user, and as such, the stipulation of no refunds on the usage of bonus credits is a standard policy. Therefore, once these bonus credits are used within our platform, the user will not be able to request a refund on these specific amounts. This policy applies to all users, without exception, aiming to maintain a fair and consistent approach throughout our platform.
Cancellation Policy
Presently our app exclusively supports the live commerce feature, where users have the opportunity to join a call with an expert in real time, as and when they require assistance. This unique format, crafted to ensure immediate access to expert advice, does not include a cancellation policy as there is no need for pre-scheduled bookings. This approach has been designed keeping in mind the spontaneity of user needs. However, we understand that as our platform evolves, the need to schedule sessions with our experts in advance may arise. With that in mind, we are considering adding a feature that will allow users to book sessions with experts ahead of time. Once this feature is implemented, it will necessitate the introduction of a cancellation policy. We assure you that when this happens, we will promptly update our policy documents and communicate the new terms to our users. We believe that this will provide flexibility and better planning for our users, while preserving our commitment to providing high-quality, on-demand services.
Subscription Policy:
You can buy a Subscription Pack for an expert only after you have completed at least two paid sessions with that expert. This helps ensure you already know the expert’s style and services before you commit to a longer subscription. Any normal paid session with the expert counts as a regular paid session. However, free trials, 5-minute samplers, fully free or 100% discounted sessions, sessions that were cancelled or not completed are not counted as a paid session. If you are eligible, you will see subscription options for that expert.
We may offer Packs with different durations such as weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Each Pack includes a fixed number of minutes and a fixed validity period. A few important things to know:
Unused minutes do not roll over after the validity period ends unless we specifically say so.
Subscription Packs are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Subscription Packs renew automatically by default. That means the same Pack will renew for the same duration (for example, weekly to weekly, monthly to monthly) and the same payment method will be charged automatically. You can turn off auto-renewal anytime directly in the app. Turning off auto-renewal won’t cancel the minutes you already paid for, and you won’t get a refund for a Pack that has already been charged.
Your subscription can run for a maximum of 12 months from the date of first purchase. After that, you will need to start a new subscription if you want to continue.
If we suspend or block your account because of misconduct or policy violations, (i) Your Subscription Pack will be paused during suspension and (ii) You won’t be charged during the paused period.
If we later delete your account because of a violation then, (i) Your Subscription Pack will be cancelled; (ii) Any remaining minutes will be forfeited, and (iii) No refunds will be provided. We take safety and community guidelines seriously, and we may pause or cancel subscriptions if we need to investigate misuse or violations.
If you choose to delete your coto account, (i) Your Subscription Pack will be cancelled immediately, (ii) Any unused minutes will be lost, and, (iii) No refunds will be provided.
We may add new Packs, remove Packs, change prices, update eligibility or modify these terms. If you continue using subscriptions or the platform after changes, it means you accept the updated terms. If you have any question about the policy, please reach out to us at support@coto.world
