Factor situations worth separating

A charge remains

The Factor cancellation is recorded but the payment file still shows a charge. For Factor, match the active meal subscription with the weekly order cutoff. The Factor outcome may be a retained fee rather than a platform credit, depending on the specific rule and service file status. Keep the Factor confirmation until the account and payment file agree.

The inquiry is early

The subscriber is clearly before the relevant weekly order cutoff. For Factor, match the active meal subscription with the weekly order cutoff. The Factor outcome may be a final monthly charge rather than a continuing commitment, depending on the specific rule and service file status. Keep the Factor confirmation until the account and payment file agree.

The cutoff is close

The subscriber is approaching the Factor timing boundary. For Factor, match the active meal subscription with the weekly order cutoff. The Factor outcome may be a refund to the original method rather than no voluntary refund, depending on the specific rule and service file status. Keep the Factor confirmation until the account and payment file agree.

Another seller processed the purchase

The receipt names a third party rather than Factor as the booking or billing channel. For Factor, match the active meal subscription with the weekly order cutoff.

Wrong assumptions to avoid with Factor

• Do not treat a no-show as equivalent to timely cancellation in a Factor case.
• Do not confuse a third-party receipt as a direct-provider service file in a Factor case.
• A customer should not assume a category-wide rule as a promise for every purchase in a Factor case.
• It is risky to treat a canceled renewal as proof the active term ended in a Factor case.
• Do not assume a future credit as cash returned today in a Factor case.
• Avoid assuming a different rate as evidence for this booking in a Factor case.

Factor lets customers pause, skip, or deactivate a meal plan, but changes must be made before the weekly cutoff to prevent the next box from locking. Factor customers should verify two statuses after canceling: the plan status and the next delivery status. A successful deactivation does not rewrite an order that already locked before the cutoff. Preserve the Factor confirmation until the refund, credit, voucher, billing change, or account closure is fully reflected.
