The main points here that you are most likely going to be interested in are that we expect you to use Real Plans responsibly and we are not liable if you send a claim against us for any part of our service. It also states the difference between refund guarantees. For payments made on the Website or Android, Real Plans products have a 10 day period.

11 Payments, cancellations, and refunds
Paid Subscriptions can be purchased either by paying a monthly, quarterly or annual subscription fee. When you register for a Paid Subscription you consent to get access to Real Plans immediately.

For refundable items, if you wish to receive a full refund, you must contact Customer Support with the refund period and we will refund your money within 1 week. Once the refund is conducted you will no longer have access to your content.
We recommend canceling your subscription at least 2 days before it is due in order to be processed in time.

13 Entire agreement
Other than as stated in this section or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and Real Plans, the Agreements constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and Real Plans and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Agreements, whether written or oral.

Some of those additional terms are listed on Real Plans’ website. To the extent that there is any irreconcilable conflict between any additional terms and these Terms, the additional terms shall prevail.
14 Severability and waiver
Unless as otherwise stated in the Agreements, should any provision of the Agreements be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreements, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.
Any failure by Real Plans or any third party beneficiary to enforce the Agreements or any provision thereof shall not waive Real Plans’ or the applicable third party beneficiary’s right to do so.
