The short version
- Payments are final: no refunds, except the money back on your first payment, where the law gives consumers a right to one, or when we end the service.
- Consumers in the EU and UK can withdraw within 14 days: you pay for the days used and get the rest back.
- You can cancel Pro or Team at any time in a few clicks from Settings, or without signing in on the page "Cancel your subscription here". It runs until the end of the period you paid for.
- Ask at info@squaremetry.com. Paddle, our reseller, pays every refund back the way you paid.

3. Withdrawal within 14 days (consumers in the EU and UK)
As a consumer you have 14 days to withdraw from an online purchase, without giving a reason. At checkout we ask whether you want to start at once:
- Unlocking a home: if you ask for the unlock to start at once and withdraw within 14 days, you pay for the days up to your withdrawal, out of the 30 days the home is unlocked, and get the rest back. The home is then locked again. We confirm your request by email.
- Pro and Team: if you ask for the subscription to start at once and withdraw within 14 days, you pay for the days up to your withdrawal and get the rest back. We confirm your request by email.
- This request is a separate box at checkout that is never ticked in advance; without it the checkout does not continue. If we have no record of your request, you can withdraw within 14 days and get your full payment back.
To withdraw, use the Withdraw button in your account under Settings › Subscription within the 14 days, or email us at info@squaremetry.com. The 14 days end at 23:59 on the 14th calendar day after the day you bought, Netherlands time; your account shows that last day. We confirm by email that we received it. If you buy for your business, you say so at checkout and give the company name; business customers have no right of withdrawal.
4. Cancelling
Pro and Team renew automatically for the same period (a month or a year) until you cancel. You can cancel at any time, in a few clicks from Settings, or without signing in on the page "Cancel your subscription here" (at the bottom of every page of our website), and keep Pro or Team until the end of the period you paid for. You get a confirmation on screen and by email right away.
Apart from the money back on your first payment, payments are final. We do not give refunds, also not when you cancel, stop using Squaremetry or use fewer homes than you paid for. The exceptions are the cases on this page.
Money back on your first payment: within 14 days of your first payment to Squaremetry, you can ask for all of it back, without giving a reason, as a consumer or as a business. This is once per account and per email address. The home is locked again, or Pro or Team ends, on the day the money goes back. This comes on top of the right of withdrawal: a withdrawal pays back the days you did not use, this promise pays back everything.
Found a mistake in how Squaremetry applies a measuring rule? Report it. We look into it, and if it is our fault, you get that home back and we fix the rule. In Pro or Team, that home then no longer counts for the homes of the month; for a home you bought on its own, we pay that home back. This is about how Squaremetry applies a measuring rule, not about what you draw or measure yourself.
For consumers, a yearly Pro or Team that has renewed after its first year can be ended at any time with one month’s notice. You then get back the part of that year after the notice period.
5. Other refunds for consumers
For consumers, the law comes first. Besides the right of withdrawal, you get money back in these cases:
- your legal rights if Squaremetry does not work as agreed, such as repair, a lower price or ending the contract;
- a renewed yearly Pro or Team that you end: the part of that year after one month’s notice;
- a change of the terms to your disadvantage that you do not accept: if you stop before the change takes effect, the part of a paid period you can no longer use;
- the end of the service or your account by us, while you keep to the terms: the part of a prepaid period you can no longer use.
If the buyer terms of Paddle give you a refund, you get it from Paddle; our terms cannot take that away.
6. Business customers
If you buy for your trade or business, there is no right of withdrawal and there are no other refunds than the money back on your first payment, also not when you cancel. One more exception: when we end the service or your account while you keep to the terms, you get back the part of a prepaid period you can no longer use. We end the service or an account with 30 days’ notice, and you get time to export your plans.
7. How to ask for a refund
- To withdraw within 14 days, use the Withdraw button under Settings › Subscription. It shows the amount you get back.
- For anything else, email us at info@squaremetry.com. Give the email address of your account and, if you have it, the number on your receipt from Paddle. We answer within 5 working days.
- You can also contact Paddle: through the link in the receipt Paddle emailed you, or through the customer portal of Paddle, which you open under Settings › Subscription › Payment details and invoices.
8. How you get the money and how long it takes
Paddle sells to you, so Paddle pays every refund back to the way you paid, such as your card. Squaremetry itself does not pay money out. Paddle confirms each refund by email.
After a withdrawal we ask Paddle for the refund straight away. In the other cases we arrange it within 14 days of your notice or of the day the service stops. After that, your bank or card provider may take a few working days to show the money.
