Refund Policy
Effective date: September 29, 2026
What this policy covers
This policy covers the challenge fee you pay to You-thon through Stripe. Donations to charities are made through Every.org and are covered under "Donations" below. You-thon has no subscriptions and no recurring charges.
Cancelling a challenge
- A host can abandon (cancel) a challenge from its challenge page at any time before it ends.
- If you abandon a challenge after paying its fee, we automatically refund the full amount you paid to the card you paid with.
- Refunds usually appear within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank.
After a challenge ends
Once a challenge's end date has passed, its fee is not refunded automatically. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us and we will review it.
If a refund does not arrive
Automatic refunds can occasionally fail. If a refund has not reached you within 10 business days, email us and we will look into it.
Disputes
If you have a problem with a charge, please contact us first so we can put it right. You can also dispute a charge with your card issuer; we respond to disputes through Stripe.
Donations
- Donations are paid to the charity through Every.org. You-thon never receives donation money, so we cannot refund donations; contact Every.org about a donation.
- A supporter can cancel a pledge at any time before paying it; nothing is charged for a pledge.
