Tidal free trial subscription


Hello,
I subscribed for a 30 day free trial for Tidal and opted for 6 month payment plan for $101.94. The website clearly says, '30 day free trial' under that plan. I subscribed on May 7th and cancelled on May 29th. My credit card has been charged $101.94. I have not seen any refund and so, I sent an email inquiry. Guess what?  Sergio from Support says, there is no refund because I signed up for the 6 month plan. My main reason for cancellation was lack of many of the albums of many artists I like (unlike Spotify where I could get most of them).
The "refund policy" details are even more interesting. If you dispute the charges with credit card company and they are able to prove their case, they will charge your credit card for the expense and what not beyond the subscription charge. Never heard such policy, not sure it is legal anyway.
Has anyone had experience like this?
Be careful if you intend to deal with Tidal!
By the way, there is very minor difference between Tidal and Spotify when the latter is set up for "Extreme" streaming. This set up needs to be manually done, it is not standard or "Normal" streaming.

Again I understand that there is a 30 day free trial period. But again before it was over you signed up for a 6 month subscription, ending the trial. It also begs the question why didn't you investigate the artists you were interested before you made a 6 month commitment? Isn't the trial period for finding out if you like the service before signing up? Giving them a CC # doesn't matter either way, you told them to charge you for six months and they did so.
As far as Tidal is concerned, I had to cancel my trial. Compare Al Di Meola's albums on Spotify vs Tidal and there is a big difference as of two months ago. I'll join when their catalog is larger. I understand your reason for cancelling but not the reason for no refund. It's worth fighting. 
Only use real records and real cds so this will never happen to me.Good luck though.
Hi ebm,
you are right, neither Tidal nor Spotify come close to my analog/lp sound. It is just for convenience of not needing to get up to change lp or cd when comfortable in my recliner. I tend to listen to lp more than any other format.
After I scanned copy of their website indicating policy about the free trial to Tidal, they want to offer me additional 30 days! Not interested, I am going to CC with dispute.
jond, you need to visit the website and then tell me if I am wrong.
