1. INTRODUCTION
At Aesthetica Magazine, we stand behind the quality of our artistic content. We understand that preferences vary, and we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. This Refund Policy outlines our procedures for refunds and is designed to be straightforward and customer-friendly.
2. NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED REFUND GUARANTEE
2.1 Our Promise
We offer a simple, no-questions-asked refund guarantee:
- If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase for any reason whatsoever, you are eligible for a refund
- We will not ask you to explain or justify your refund request
- The process is designed to be hassle-free and automated
2.2 What’s Covered
Our refund policy applies to:
- Individual lookbook purchases
- Premium subscription fees
- VIP subscription fees
2.3 Refund Amount
When you request a refund, you will receive:
- The full purchase price minus only the actual payment processing fees charged by our payment processor
- These processing fees typically range from 2.9% to 3.5% plus a small fixed fee (approximately $0.30)
- We do not retain any portion of your payment beyond these third-party processing costs
3. HOW TO REQUEST A REFUND
3.1 Automated Process
We’ve made requesting a refund as simple as possible:

5. SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATIONS

5.2 Prorated Refunds
For subscription cancellations:
- You may request a prorated refund based on the unused portion of your current billing period
- The prorated amount will be calculated automatically by our system
- The same payment processing fee deduction applies to prorated refunds
6. LIMITATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS
While we strive to maintain our no-questions-asked policy, we reserve the right to limit refunds in certain exceptional cases:
6.1 Abuse Prevention
We may restrict refunds in cases of:
- Systematic abuse of our refund policy (such as repeatedly purchasing and refunding the same content)
- Evidence of content redistribution or unauthorized sharing
- Fraudulent payment activity
6.2 Time Limitations
Refund requests should generally be submitted within:
- 30 days of purchase for individual lookbooks
- 14 days of the most recent billing date for subscriptions
However, we evaluate requests outside these timeframes on a case-by-case basis, maintaining our customer-friendly approach.
7. AUTOMATIC PROCESSING
7.1 System Automation
Our refund system is designed to be automated:
