Sales Rep's "Risk-Free Trial" Promise Turns Out Not to Exist
A sales representative explicitly guaranteed a risk-free, no-fee 30-day trial on a home Wi-Fi hotspot; the customer returned the device within the window and had the return confirmed, yet was billed for both the service and the router anyway. A second support agent admitted the promised free-trial policy doesn't actually exist, meaning the customer was sold on a term the company doesn't honor.
