Refuse: After the reaction, Hope says it will respect his membership for free upgrades for those who have been left over for more than a year.
Hoop tweeted, “We are updating our upgrade qualification to ensure that it reflects both our values and your expectations.
In his membership, more than 12 months of people are now eligible for free upgrades in WHOP 5.0. If you have upgraded the Hope 5.0 and paid the upgrade fee despite being left for more than 12 months, you will receive a refund.
It added, “If you have less than 12 months left, you can extend your membership to get an upgrade without any additional cost-or pay a timely upgrade fee to get modern hardware without extending your membership.” “When you finish your membership, you can also choose to renew it, and you will be eligible to upgrade to Hoop for free at this time.”
Hoop says the blog post, which promised a free upgrade after six months, was posted in error. The company no longer offers a monthly or six months of plans, only annually or two years of plans. “We removed this blog article when it spoke of our attention and updated the Hope Coach with appropriate information. We regret any confusion that could cause.”
