 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
Within the last 24 hours, I have still received e-mail from this business and it has been more than 10 days since I requested to be unsubscribed.
Regards,
[redacted]

The customer was issued a refund for the renewal transaction. The customer did not attempt to contact support prior to billing. We have support available to assist customers and the account information is made available to them whenever they login to their account. We state up front that the account...

must be cancelled prior to renewal if the customer no longer wishes to maintain access to the account. Doing nothing to the account does not turn off automated billing.If the customer rejoins the site in the future we will not be able to issue any further refunds.

Hello,We have refunded the customer. I have attached copies of two long email threads between the customer and our representatives and I am more than happy to send along the other two emails from the customer that have a very similar tone. At no point was legal action threatened on our end,...

however legal action was threatened by the customer.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:Your response does not reflect the reality of my interactions with your company. I fail to see any agreeable outcome. Exactly which resolution you would have liked me to accept? Being screwed or being screwed? As per the attached screenshot, my only option was to remain a 'paying member'. Let me remind you that I had asked for a refund of the money that you debited from to my account without my consent and was told no. I called in moments after I received the invoice email. I had not downloaded anything and was shocked at the charge. And after finally searching the internet, it was evident that VideoBlocks fails to respect customers (i.e. prey) unless they file complaints through the Revdex.com.

Hello,
A refund has been issued.
Please note that should the customer rejoin our site in the future no further refunds will be processed as we have made a one time accommodation in this case

The customer was refunded on 1/16/17He said he did not want to renew his subscription and wanted to get a refund on the charge that was just placed to his accountJAN 14TH, 2017 AT 2:03PM(3 DAYS AGO)HEADERSHTMLTEXTBen P[redacted]To: <[redacted].com>From: "[redacted]"...

<support@[redacted].com>Reply-to: support@[redacted].desk-[redacted].com�... [redacted],I really appreciate you taking the time to email me today! My name is Ben and I am an experience expert here at [redacted]. Let's figure out what I can do to get this issue resolved for you today!First, I sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding regarding your subscription. Like other subscription-based services, your subscription automatically renews to ensure that service is able to continue without interruption. This is what appears to have happened here. The original sign-up date for your yearly subscription was Januay 7, 2016 and the account renewed on January 6, 2017 (one day earlier due to the leap year). Our goal is to be as transparent as possible about our policies and the nature of our business, so during the sign-up process for your subscription, our site states that the account will automatically renew every year. We have also placed the recurring billing information and subscription end date on your Member Dashboard for reference and the automatic renewal information can be found on our FAQ page:http://support.[redacted].com/customer/portal/articles/[redacted]-why-was-i... also completely understand that eventually, a customer may no longer require a subscription to our site. In this case, the account may be canceled at any time online or by calling ###-###-#### or emailing support@[redacted].com Monday through Friday 9AM-6PM EST before the end date on your Member Dashboard. This ensures that the customer isn't billed again and they still retain access to their account and the ability to download through the remainder of their current billing period.One month before your account was scheduled to renew, we sent you an e-mail that notified you of this change in pricing, as well as your upcoming reactivation. This e-mail included a promotion that would allow for you to sign-up for one additional year at the original rate of $99. Our annual subscribers are free to cancel their account at any time if they do not wish to continue service. However, it does not appear that you accepted this offer or canceled your account and as such, you were billed $149 to continue your service.If you wish to review these emails, they were sent during the following dates with these titles:MUST READ: Exclusive Early Renewal Special – December 7, 2016DON'T MISS OUT: Early Renewal Offer Inside – December 21, 2016FINAL HOURS: Exclusive Early Renewal Special – December 28, 2016Last chance to lock in your early renewal special – January 1, 2017Because we've provided notification of your renewal, we would be unable to issue a full refund of the most recent payment. However, if you would like, I can refund $50 and allow you to opt-in to one more year of [redacted] access at the $99 rate.Alternatively, I would be happy to close your [redacted] account and apply your renewal charge to a year of access to [redacted] or [redacted] instead.Let me know if you'd like me to proceed with making these changes to your account. Have a great day! JAN 14TH, 2017 AT 3:20PM(3 DAYS AGO)HEADERSHTMLTEXT[redacted]To: <support@[redacted].desk-mail.com>From:�... <[redacted].com>No, I didn't receive those emails even though you sent them.

I'm very sorry that we could not come to a solution that works for you. I want to resolve this issue to your satisfaction, so I am forwarding your case to my supervisor to see what they can do for you.We would suggest that you do not yet issue a dispute with your bank, as this can severely limit the options available to us to be able to assist you.Please allow 2 full business days for a reply. We very much appreciate your patience as they review your case.Have a great day! JAN 16TH, 2017 AT 10:41AM(A DAY AGO)HEADERSHTMLTEXT[redacted]To: [redacted] <[redacted].com>From: "[redacted]" <support@[redacted].com>Reply-to: support@[redacted].desk-mail.com Hello [redacted],Thanks for your patience as I've reviewed your account.First off, let me apologize for any miscommunication regarding our service or how we operate. It's certainly not our intention to bill our customers without their knowledge or to deceive them in any way. Our billing practices are identical to most other online subscription-based services, including [redacted], and [redacted]; all of which bill directly after a subscription period is complete. By agreeing to our terms of service, customers acknowledge that they understand that their account will be billed on their renewal date if it is not canceled. The following clause is included in that contract:"Automatic Renewal. Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a "Renewal Commencement Date") and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Company's then current price for such subscription. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at any time prior to the Renewal Commencement Date by logging into your Account or calling us at ###-###-####. If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please log in and go to the "Change/Cancel Membership" page on your "Account Settings" page. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize Company to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if Company does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (i) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and/or (ii) you agree that Company may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received.). We reserve the right to change the subscription fee for any renewal term to be effective upon the renewal of your subscription"That being said, we understand that not everyone has the time or energy to read a length terms of service document. As such, the customer is notified during registration that the account is a subscription service that will automatically renew if it is not canceled. This information is provided directly next to the field where you enter your credit card so that it is easily visible. The customer can cancel their account at any point during their subscription period if they decide that it is no longer of use.We also display your activation date every time you login to your account to ensure that you are notified exactly when to expect your next billing cycle. We wanted to make sure that it was easily available to you at any time.Lastly, and probably most significantly, we send four reminder e-mails before the customer's account is renew – 30, 14, 7, and 3 days before the charge – to ensure that they are aware of the upcoming payment.Typically, our subscriptions are non-refundable because we provide our users with a license to distribute our content commercially. However, it's clear that there was some misunderstanding regarding your account. As such, I am willing to make a one time exception and refund the total of $149 back to your account. Before I can do so, please confirm that you have not yet disputed the charge through your bank, as this would freeze the funds while they investigate, preventing the refund from going through.I look forward to your confirmation. Have a great day! JAN 16TH, 2017 AT 10:45AM(A DAY AGO)HEADERSHTMLTEXT[redacted]To: <support@[redacted].desk-mail.com>From:�... <[redacted].com>Thank you. I have not contacted my bank.

[redacted],Thanks for getting back in touch with us.As promised, your account has been cancelled and you will receive an email confirmation. You have also been issued a refund of $149 as a one-time exception to our policy, which will take approximately 3-5 business days to post back to your account.Please note that because we generally operate under a strict no-refund policy that we will not be able to issue any further refunds at this point.I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.Have a great day!

Hello,
Your account was successfully cancelled on 7/25/14. There was a charge for the monthly upgrade, however that has now been refunded and notification was sent via email. 
If you do not attempt to login to the cancelled account you will not be prompted to...

make a payment. The reason that offer was given was because you were already billed and it was offering you the option to upgrade to the $99 annual subscription. 
Our apologies for any confusion or inconveniences that were caused.

A refund has been issued for the the renewal charge and I have included the exchange between the customer and the customer service representative for the Revdex.com's records. The customer does agree to an automatically renewing subscription when the register for an account on our site. We also do...

disclose the renewal date in the customer's account information and have support available Monday-Friday 9am-6pm EST for the customer to contact us to cancel they account prior to billing. The customer is also able to cancel their account on their own through the site as well. We must inform both the customer and the Revdex.com that because we have issued a refund in this instance we are not able to issue any further refunds to the customer should they decide to rejoin the site in the future.  Billing QuestionsTo: Submitted via WebFrom: [redacted].comI would like to cancel my account, and be refunded the $99 you charged me.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is no tnfull satisfactory to me. However, I will accept only for this time. You said "customer s have multiple options to Cancel" However what to be fair, customers should be able to turn off auto renewal thru the system or should not be able to sign up subscription thru online or only allowed to subscribe it over the phone or email.

I am rejecting this response because:It does not go far enough to resolve this matter.Additionally, I believe that it is verified via recent communication with a representative of GraphicStock, how difficult it may be to have communication stopped with this business. In this instance, I believe that it would be beneficial for Revdex.com to also verify that the e-mail that I stated was sent to me was as I claimed.There has been no agreement regarding my request for full resolution.That stated, I now include all of the requested information (including full header indicating when the last GraphicStock e-mail advertisement was sent to me - well after cancellation of service (note some irrelevant information has been removed from the e-mail; although full context is in play):

Hello, We have issued a refund as a one time exception to our no-refund policy.  The customer is capable of contacting support by phone or email to request that their auto-renewal be turned off prior to billing, so that they may maintain access for anytime they have paid for. We also...

explain that we do not send notifications via email in our FAQs and provide the renewal date information on the customer's account when they log in. There are multiple resources available to the customer to address the issues they had prior to them becoming issues.

Hello,
Our records show that the customer did sign up for a 7 day trial, but during the trial period the customer accepted an offer to upgrade to the $99 subscription and then continued to use the account to download content from our site. I have attached a screenshot showing the...

download history as well as the trial sign up action and the pop-up acceptance action.
We have a strict no refund policy, which is why a refund was not issued when the customer contacted support. Our refund policy is made available on our site under the FAQs, here is the link for that information. Because the customer accepted the offer and used the site do download content we can not issue a refund for the charge. The autorenewal on the account has been turned off and he will have access for a year of unlimited downloads. The account will not automatically renew at the end of the subscription period.
