# The LifeDAO Refund Policy

### Refund Eligibility

Members may request a refund within **14 days** of payment.

If a refund request is submitted within this 14-day period, the payment may be returned according to the applicable membership terms.

Refund requests submitted after the 14-day period will not be eligible for a refund.

### After the 14-Day Period

If a refund request is not made within 14 days:

* The payment will be considered waived or donated to the community fund
* The associated free Life Protection plan will be cancelled
* Membership benefits linked to that payment will no longer apply

### Grace Period & Consequences of Non-Payment

If a Member fails to make their scheduled contribution within the 14-day Grace Period:

* The Member's Contract will be **automatically cancelled**
* **100% of the Member's tokens will be burned immediately**
* Membership cancellation will include cancellation of all additional services, including but not limited to Farewell Service and Community Life Fund Services (as applicable)

### Membership Cancellation

Members may terminate their membership at any time. However, refunds are only available during the initial 14-day refund window.

No refunds will be issued for unused Dues after this period.

### Enforcement and Termination

The LifeDAO reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership in cases including:

* Breach of terms
* Non-payment of Dues
* Fraudulent activity
* Harmful conduct within the community

Termination of membership does not automatically create eligibility for a refund outside the 14-day refund window.
