- Satisfaction Back Guarantee. Beginning June 2009 we offered a promotional satisfaction back guarantee. If a seller joined after this date, they have 180 days from when they paid the set-up fee, to review the site. After 180 days and after the seller has paid monthly fees for 6 months, if the seller is not satisfied with the service they have received, the seller qualifies for a full refund of the set-up fee. The seller must have 6 months of paid service. Any lapses in payment caused by the members credit card declining will void the refund. Any free months issued by IntoStores will be deducted from the refund total at the rate of $29 per free month. The seller must request the refund no later than 195 days after their initial set-up fee was paid for by writing refunds@intostores.com. IntoStores will not issue refunds before 180 days of service. Sellers must wait at least 180 days before requesting a refund. Any refund requests received after 195 days will not qualify for a refund. There are no exceptions. If a seller requests cancellation of their account prior to 180 days of use the seller agrees that all fees paid to IntoStores are non-refundable.
