Complaint and Community Awareness

[Rsimon312]

My daughter obtained an adobe software product paying a monthly fee (signed up for a year) to use in college last fall (2019) and as we are all aware the covid-19 virus situation disrupted all student life as was the case with my college freshman daughter.   Her college was cancelled, she moved home out of the dorms as many studnts did due to this situation. She now no longer needed or required the software.  She explained this to Adobe and they had the "nerve" to charge her a cancellation fee since she did not not adhere to the one year deal.  I would be embarassed as an executive of Adobe charging students in this manner.  The lack of sensiveity and awareness always amazes me but this is bad policy. bad social awareness and just bad public relations. .  good luck with this. .
