Refund Policy

Founding Membership is a one-time purchase. This page explains when we refund it and what happens to your account afterwards.

Last updated 18 August 2026

Requesting a refund

Email founders@truvela.org from the address on your account with your Founder number or receipt. We review every request and reply with a decision.

What happens to your Founder number

When a refund is issued, the Founder number and Founder-specific premium access are released. Founder numbers already assigned to other members are unaffected.

You keep your account

A refund never deletes your account. Your free membership and your Access Passport remain exactly as they were, and you can purchase again later at the then-current price.

Failed and abandoned payments

If a payment fails or a checkout is abandoned, no charge is captured, the reserved slot is released, and your free account is untouched.

Chargebacks

A disputed or reversed payment is treated the same as a refund: Founder benefits are revoked while your free account and Access Passport are preserved.

Timing

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. How quickly it appears depends on your bank or card issuer.
