Refunds and cancellation
Cancel whenever you like and keep access to the end of the period you paid for. If the service did not do what it says on the pricing page, ask us for your money back and we will give it to you.
Effective 12 August 2026
Cancelling
Cancel from the Polar customer portal — the link is in the receipt Polar emailed you. Cancelling stops the next renewal. Your credential keeps working until the end of the period you have already paid for, and the entitlement check turns it off after that.
There is no notice period, no cancellation fee, and nothing to ask us for first.
The refund we offer
If you are within fourteen days of your first payment and Jackdaws has not been useful to you, email us and we will refund that payment in full. You do not have to justify it, and we will not try to talk you out of it.
After that first period the subscription is charged monthly in advance and renewal payments are not routinely refunded — cancelling stops the next one rather than reversing the last. Two exceptions, and we apply them without argument: a renewal you did not intend and have not used, and a period where the service was substantially unavailable or broken.
Where the money actually comes from
Polar Software Inc. is our merchant of record, so they took the payment and they issue the refund. We authorise it; they process it. The money returns to the original payment method, usually within five to ten business days once Polar has issued it, though the exact timing is your bank’s.
Tax charged on the original payment is refunded with it.
Something more useful than a refund, sometimes
If what went wrong was a lost credential, a client that will not connect, or a tool refusing calls it should have allowed, tell us before you ask for the money — those are usually fixed the same day. We would rather the subscription work than end. The refund stays available either way.
How to ask
Email hello@hazeleyconsulting.com from the address on the subscription, and say which payment you mean. That is the whole process — there is no form.
