Though some users and webmasters tag this product as a rogue application - that's a scathing accusation that be true or may just be the overblown reactions of a few disgruntled users. There are always a few.

Customer Support
Contact via a single email address
Tech Support promises to respond within 48 hours
Though they responded to my email request for info, they didn't address my questions but rather directed me to a hidden link (hidden from people perusing the regular website, that is) that answered part of my question (about pricing) and didn't answer the other part (about refunds).

Refund Policy
Unsure. Asked for clarification and was directed to a URL that did not answer the question. Until we find out otherwise, it's probably safer to assume - No.
