My subscription isn't working. How do I open a claim? 📝

Follow these steps to open a complaint if your subscription isn’t working and benefit from our co-subscriber protection.

At Sharesub, your purchase is protected: if the subscription you joined isn't working, a claim allows our team to step in and, if it is approved, refund you.

Open your claim before leaving the subscription: once you leave, no refund is possible.


Step 1: Contact the owner 💬

Most problems can be resolved with a simple message. Go to Joined subscriptions, open the subscription, and contact the owner in the chat.

Without a recent message from you, you cannot open a claim. If the owner has replied, read their response first: an unread message also prevents you from opening a claim.


Step 2: Open a claim 📝

  • Go to “Joined subscriptions” and click “View details” for the subscription concerned.

  • Open the “Management” tab, then the “Need help with this subscription?” section.

  • Click “Claim”.

  • Select the issue: credentials or invitation not provided, credentials not working, service unavailable in your geographical area, or another issue.

  • Click “Request help”.

Have you just joined the subscription? The button remains inactive for a few hours: the page shows the remaining time. Contact the owner now.


Step 3: Follow-up 🔎

  • The owner has 24 hours to offer you a solution in the chat.

  • If no solution is found, our team takes over the case and makes a decision. A claim is processed within 48 hours of being opened.

  • If your claim is approved, you will be refunded and the subscription will be stopped. The amount is determined by our team: a full refund if you joined less than a month ago, or a refund based on the unused days beyond that.

  • If the “Priority re-subscription” option is enabled and an identical subscription is available, you will be added to a new group (see the article about priority re-subscription).

Has the issue been resolved? Go back to the subscription page and click “Close the claim”. ✅

Important: contacting support by email or chat does not open a claim; it can only be opened from the subscription page.


Step 4: Solution or Refund 💰

  • If the owner resolves the issue within the given time, you can close the claim.

  • If the issue persists, you will be refunded for the affected period.


Important ⚠️

Contacting support by email or chat does not allow you to open a claim. It must be opened directly from the subscription page.

Before opening a claim, you must have contacted the subscription owner.
