I'm sorry that you feel that way. Unfortunately, a refund cannot be provided for your subscription for the reasons explained in the Refund Policy which is an integral part of our Terms of Service. Our Refund Policy is in accordance with the European Union consumer protection Directive 2011/83/EU, see Chapter I, Article 16, paragraph (m) for the applicable exception from the right of withdrawal for intangible goods.

Before subscribing you explicitly indicated that you unreservedly agree to our Terms of Service. A link to the Terms of Service page was provided to you in the very short text next to the checkbox to dispel any doubts about the exact document you are agreeing with. The document is written in simple, non-legal English to facilitate comprehension in accordance with the EU consumer protection directive.

You accepted the Terms of Service so by checking a box that is always unchecked unless explicitly checked by you right before payment. You could not initiate payment unless checking the box. This satisfies the EU consumer protection directive's requirement for informed consent about the Terms of Service.

The Terms of Service explicitly state that you agree and understand that you waive your withdrawal right (i.e. waiving your right to a refund) as soon as you begin a download of our software or make a software support request. This plus the obligatory and default non-checked state of the checkbox satisfies the condition set forth by the EU consumer protection directive for the client to positively indicate that they have been informed about the actions which lead to immediate waiving of their right to withdrawal.

Furthermore, the EU consumer protection directive requires the vendor (us) to provide adequate information about the product to the consumer (you), including the software capabilities and requirements of the environment typically used to run the software. This requirement is satisfied with the information in our product pages, documentation and Compatiblity page. Moreover, most of our software has free of charge Core versions which you can freely use to evaluate the compatibility of our software with your server environment and the fitness for your particular needs. Finally, we provide free of charge pre-sales requests if you have questions not covered by the provided material.

We have already fulfilled the requirements of the EU consumer protection directive to protect the client (you). However, since you took actions that cause you to waive your right to withdrawal (as explained in the Terms of Service you accepted) we are unable to give you a refund. The actions that you took that caused your right to a refund to be waived are:

  • Download Akeeba Backup Professional installation package 8.0.15 on 2022-01-27 07:08 EET from IP address 193.41.228.76
  • Download Admin Tools Professional for Joomla 4 7.1.8  on 2022-07-08 08:01 EEST from IP address 193.41.228.76

I'd like to explicitly state that this means that you are still a subscriber and you can still make use of the download and support services you subscribed to. That is to say, if you have a problem you can open a new ticket with more details about it and we can help you.

Regarding the language files, kindly note that we make it explicitly clear that we only offer English language files in our Download page (https://www.akeeba.com/download.html):

> We no longer provide official translations for our software for reasons we've already explained. Our software only ships with English (Great Britain) language files. You can ask in your local Joomla! or WordPress forums for any unofficial localisation initiatives in your language.
 

If you'd like to share with us more specific details about what specific areas you'd like to see improved in our software or make any feature requests we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Thank you for your understanding.
