The return policy for Sleep Cycle is managed by Apple or Google. Purchases are tied to the Apple or Google ID. The refund procedures and policies from Apple and Google apply. For users who signed up through the web, to request a refund, the subscription must first be cancelled. To cancel the subscription, users go via the web service. An email with a copy of the receipt or the order number, and the email which was used to purchase the subscription, should be sent to support@sleepcycle.com.

For iOS users, a receipt from Apple is received when an app is purchased. This receipt contains a link that says “Report A Problem”. Clicking on the link takes users to Apple’s portal for refunds. To claim a refund for the subscription, users click on Subscriptions. From here, they can report the issue, describe the details, and ask for a refund.

For Android users, if it’s been less than 48 hours since an app was bought or an in-app purchase was made, a refund can be requested through Google Play. Users find the order they want to return, click ‘More’, select ‘Request a refund’ or ‘Report a problem’ and choose the option that describes their situation. They complete the form and note that they would like a refund. They will see a message saying "Thank you for sharing your concerns." They'll then get an email with the refund decision. This usually arrives within 15 minutes, but it can take up to four business days.

Please note, Sleep Cycle has no control over Apple’s or Google’s refund process and cannot influence or in any other way affect the outcome of their decision on refunds.
