      <body>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We do not provide refunds for our charting service memberships under any circumstances.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before someone can sign up for our service or renew an existing membership, they must check a checkbox acknowledging that they understand that their order is &quot;NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only exception to this policy is for people who are signing up for our Fully-Refundable Trial Subscription.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.stockcharts.com/forums/31090/entries/21837&quot;&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&amp;nbsp; All other subscription payments are non-refundable including all ExtraRT payments, multi-month subscriptions, and Upgrade orders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reasons for this policy:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For members that sign up for our &quot;ExtraRT!&quot; service and complete the exchange agreements, we have to pay the stock exchanges up front for each members' use of our site.&amp;nbsp; The payment that we make to the exchanges is non-refundable, thus we cannot provide a refund option to &quot;ExtraRT!&quot; subscribers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An unfortunate reality of our business is that people try to rip off our charts all the time.&amp;nbsp; Because we are a service and because our charts are only &quot;valuable&quot; for a very short period of time, we cannot &quot;recover&quot; our charts from someone who steals them.&amp;nbsp; Any refund policy that we create would be subjected to abuse and fraud by a significant number of people and we would have no way to stop that abuse - short of re-establishing a &quot;no refund&quot; policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;</body>
