Free Trial Period Eligibility

The availability and duration of the free trial period are subject to change and may not be available at all times. The current trial and pricing information is available on our pricing page.

If you have not previously benefited from a free trial of our service, you may be eligible to receive a trial period at no cost.

During the trial period, you will be charged $0.00, although a small authorization charge (typically $1) may be applied to verify your payment method. This authorization charge will be refunded within 3-5 business days.

Payment Following Trial

Upon the conclusion of the trial period, you will automatically be charged the applicable subscription fee unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the trial period.

You will not receive a notice from us that your trial period has ended or that the paying portion of your subscription has begun.

Cancellation and Refund

You are eligible for a full refund of the subscription fee if you cancel your subscription within the free trial period. Cancelling your subscription after the trial period or failure to cancel within the trial period will result in the forfeiture of your eligibility for a refund.

If your subscription plan did not include a free trial period, you are not eligible for a refund on your subscription fee.

You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting https://music.soundgrail.com/account and navigating to the Billing section of your account. Any other method of cancellation including email, phone, or other means will not be accepted unless otherwise stated or required by law.

Any other purchases, including one-time payments, add-ons, or other sales on our site that do not include a free trial period are final and non-refundable once processed.

Should you request a refund, we will determine the eligibility of your refund. If approved, you will be refunded via the same payment method you originally used. Requests can be made using our refund request form.
