Last updated: September 23, 2026

1. Overview & Commitment

At BugViso, we want you to be completely satisfied with our website auditing tools and diagnostic reports. We believe in transparent, honest pricing with zero hidden traps.

This Cancellation and Refund Policy outlines your rights regarding cancellations and refund requests for both our one-time downloadable audit reports and recurring SaaS subscription plans.

2. Merchant of Record Disclosure

Mandatory Paddle Reseller Disclosure

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

All billing and payment transactions are fulfilled through Paddle, which handles invoicing, currency conversion, sales tax/VAT compliance, and automated refund distribution.

3. 2-Day / 48-Hour Refund Policy (Subscriptions)

1. Contact Within 2 Days (48 Hours)Submit your refund request within 48 hours of initial subscription purchase.
2. Scanned Fewer Than 3 DomainsYour account must have audited fewer than 3 unique domains (0, 1, or 2).

We offer a transparent 2-day (48-hour) refund policy on all new recurring subscription plans (including Developer and Agency tiers), subject to usage limits:

  • Domain Scan Threshold: To be eligible for a refund, your account must have scanned fewer than 3 unique domains.

4. Single Audit Report Purchases

Individual, one-time audit unlocks (e.g. $1.49 USD single PDF report) are instantly generated and delivered digitally upon payment confirmation.

  • Technical Defects or Generation Failures: If an audit report fails to generate, crashes, or encounters an irrecoverable server error on our end, contact us immediately. We will promptly re-run the crawl at no additional cost or issue a 100% full refund.
  • Accidental Duplicate Charges: If you are accidentally billed multiple times for the exact same report due to a network glitch, we will instantly refund the duplicate charge.
  • Completed Reports: Because downloadable digital reports cannot be un-downloaded, successfully delivered reports are generally non-refundable once accessed, except where mandated by applicable consumer protection laws.

  • The request is made after 2 calendar days (48 hours) from initial purchase, or the account has scanned 3 or more unique domains;
  • The user's account has been terminated due to serious violations of our Terms of Service (e.g. attempting DDoS attacks or unauthorized security scanning).
