1. Introduction
- Purpose of This Policy
This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which users may be eligible for a refund for purchases made through the DojoWell platform. Our goal is to provide clarity, fairness, and transparency in how we handle payment-related matters, while staying true to the purpose-driven design of the DojoWell experience.
- Relationship with Terms of Service
This policy forms part of the broader DojoWell Terms of Service. By purchasing any subscription or access plan, you agree to abide by both the Refund Policy and the Terms of Service.
- Scope of Application
This Refund Policy applies to all users who make purchases via our platform, including monthly, annual, or lifetime subscriptions. It also applies to refunds processed through our payment partner, Paddle.
2. Free Access and Subscription Model
- What Is Included for Free
DojoWell is a wellness app offering rich content and habit systems free of charge to all users. Every user can access:
- A fully unlocked Level 1.1 sub-level, including habit journeys, audio sessions, and features
- A permanently available foundation to explore and build wellness routines
- Continued free use without time limits or trial restrictions
This free tier allows users to experience meaningful value before making any purchase decision.
- Sub-Level Progression System
The DojoWell app follows a guided progression system, where content is organized into levels and sub-levels. Users unlock each subsequent sub-level only after completing the required points and reflections in the previous one. This is an intentional wellness design—not a paywall—to support sustained behavioral change.
- Explanation of Progressive Unlocking
Unlike traditional content platforms, DojoWell does not release all paid content at once. Instead, each sub-level unlocks in sequence, based on meaningful engagement and habit completion. This model promotes:
- Mindful pacing
- Prevention of content overload
- A wellness journey aligned with your real-life growth
- Why Immediate Access Is Not Offered
We intentionally avoid binge-style consumption models. DojoWell's mission is to reduce digital overstimulation, not reinforce it. Deliberate access pacing is a core part of our user experience, designed to foster genuine transformation—not superficial completion.
3. Paid Access Tiers
- Monthly and Annual Subscriptions
Users who choose to subscribe can select from:
- A Monthly Plan, billed every 30 days
- An Annual Plan, billed once every 12 months at a discounted rate
These plans grant access to all additional sub-levels beyond the free tier, subject to progressive unlocking based on user progress.
- Lifetime Access Plan
The Lifetime Plan is a one-time payment granting full access to all current and future content available on DojoWell for the operational lifetime of the platform. This does not imply indefinite support but reflects access as long as DojoWell remains live and maintained.
- What Paid Users Receive
Subscribers and lifetime access holders benefit from:
- Guided access to all content across all levels
- Advanced wellness audio sessions
- A curated and distraction-free habit journey
- A commitment to a purpose-driven, ad-free experience
4. Refund Eligibility
- General Policy on Refunds
Refunds are generally not issued for subscriptions or purchases, except under specific conditions outlined in this policy. Our refund framework reflects the value-first structure of DojoWell, which offers substantial free content upfront and progressive value delivery.
However, purchases made via Paddle are subject to Paddle’s Buyer Terms , which include a 14-day right to cancel and receive a full refund.
- Conditions for Refund Approval
Refunds may be approved only under the following circumstances:
- The DojoWell app becomes unavailable during an active subscription period
- A Lifetime Plan user requests a refund within 365 days of purchase, provided they have not accessed or completed a significant portion of the content
Refunds will not be granted for reasons such as:
- User misunderstanding of progressive content delivery
- A change of preference or loss of interest
- Failure to complete progress milestones required to unlock content
- Refunds Due to App Discontinuation
If DojoWell is permanently discontinued:
- Monthly or Annual Subscribers will be refunded a prorated amount for the unused portion of their subscription
- Lifetime Plan users will be eligible for a refund only if the discontinuation occurs within 365 days of purchase
- Refund Eligibility for Lifetime Plan
Lifetime access holders may request a refund within the first year only if:
- The request is made within 365 calendar days of purchase
- They have not accessed or completed a significant portion of the content
Refund requests after this 1-year window will not be honored, regardless of platform changes or personal circumstances.
5. Refund Exclusions
- Ineligibility Due to Content Consumption
Refunds will not be issued if a substantial portion of the paid content has been accessed, completed, or interacted with. This includes:
- Listening to multiple premium audio sessions
- Completing several sub-levels
- Engaging with personalized features that deliver significant value
We reserve the right to evaluate content usage logs to determine eligibility.
- No Refund for User Preference Change
Refunds will not be granted for changes in user interest, personal circumstances, or subjective dissatisfaction that is not based on failure of service delivery. For example:
- "I no longer want to use the app."
- "I expected a different style of content."
- "I didn’t know I had to unlock levels progressively."
Our philosophy and usage model are clearly explained before purchase.
- No Refund for Unlock Timing Expectations
As DojoWell intentionally delivers content through progress-based unlocking, refunds will not be issued due to expectations of immediate access to all content. The progressive delivery structure is:
- Central to our wellness methodology
- Explicitly communicated prior to and during purchase
- Designed to promote meaningful growth over binge consumption
6. Cooling-Off Period (EU/UK Buyers Only)
- Explanation of 14-Day Right of Withdrawal
Under EU and UK consumer law, digital goods buyers have the right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days unless the digital content is made available immediately and the user agrees to waive this right.
- Waiver of Cooling-Off Period upon Purchase
To comply with this regulation, DojoWell requires users to explicitly agree to waive their withdrawal rights when purchasing a digital subscription. This is necessary because access to progressive content begins immediately upon subscription, even though full content is not unlocked at once.
- Checkbox Consent at Checkout
At the time of purchase, users will see the following consent:
“I understand that my subscription begins immediately and I waive my 14-day right of withdrawal under EU/UK digital content law.”
This checkbox is mandatory and must be checked before purchase can be completed.

Lifetime access may be terminated if:

- Frivolous or dishonest chargebacks will be contested fully under applicable laws.

We reserve the right to deny refund requests if patterns of abuse are detected, including:
