Claim Compensation from Citrix ShareFile | Get Reimbursed 2025

Getting your thoughts and evidence in order before you contact them can make all the difference. Seriously, don't just call them angry. Take these steps first:

• Gather Your Account Details: Have your account number, the email address associated with the account, and any relevant invoice numbers ready.
• Document Everything: Take screenshots of the service outage, billing error, or any faulty feature. Note the exact dates and times the issue occurred. If you've contacted them before, have the dates and ticket numbers of those conversations handy.
• Know Your Goal: Decide exactly what you want. Is it a credit for one month's service? A refund for a specific overcharge? Be clear and specific in your request. Don't just say you're "unhappy."
• Reference Their Own Rules: Pull up the Citrix Service Level Agreement (SLA). If they failed to meet a specific uptime guarantee (e.g., less than 99.9% availability), cite that clause directly. This shows you've done your homework.
• Stay Calm and Factual: Write down the key points of your issue. Stick to the facts of what happened, the impact it had on your business, and the compensation you are requesting based on their service agreement.

In the US, your rights for a B2B service like ShareFile are primarily governed by the contract you agreed to, which is their Terms of Service and Service Level Agreement (SLA). This isn't like consumer retail where refund policies are more generous.

• Service Level Agreement (SLA): This is your most powerful tool. The Citrix SLA typically promises a certain level of service availability, often 99.9%. If a documented outage causes them to dip below this, you are usually entitled to a service credit for a portion of your monthly fee. You have to proactively request this credit; it's almost never automatic.
• Billing Errors: For incorrect charges, you are protected by fair billing practices. You have the right to dispute charges you did not authorize or that are factually incorrect. Compensation here would be a direct refund or credit for the overcharged amount.
• FTC Regulations: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) oversees business practices. If the company engages in deceptive marketing or unfair billing, you can file a complaint, which adds regulatory pressure.

Compensation is almost always in the form of a service credit applied to your next bill. Cash refunds are rare unless they've made a direct billing error or are required by law.

Dear Citrix ShareFile Support Team,

On the aforementioned date(s), we experienced [Clearly and briefly describe the issue, e.g., a complete service outage for 4 hours, inability to upload critical files, a billing error where we were overcharged by $XX.XX].

This disruption directly impacted our business operations by [Explain the impact, e.g., preventing us from meeting a client deadline, causing significant downtime for our team].

As per your Service Level Agreement, which guarantees a service availability of 99.9%, this outage constitutes a breach of your service promise. The downtime we experienced was approximately [Number] hours, which is unacceptable for a business-critical service.

To resolve this, I request a service credit equivalent to [Specify your request, e.g., one month of our subscription fee, a refund of the $XX.XX overcharge] to be applied to our account.

If customer support gives you the runaround or flat-out denies your valid claim, don't give up. You have other options.

• Ask for a Supervisor: Your first step should always be to escalate within the company. Calmly state that the proposed solution is not acceptable and you'd like to speak with a manager or supervisor. Sometimes, they have more authority to issue credits.
• Initiate a Bank Chargeback: If your claim is for a clear billing error or a service you didn't receive, contact your credit card company or bank. Provide them with your documentation (emails, screenshots) and request a chargeback. This is often very effective for clear-cut monetary disputes.
• File a BBB Complaint: File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. This creates a public record of your dispute. Companies often have dedicated teams that monitor and respond to BBB complaints to protect their rating.
• Make Noise on Social Media: A polite but firm post on X (formerly Twitter) or LinkedIn, tagging Citrix and describing the issue, can sometimes get a faster response from a social media support team. Keep it professional and focused on the facts.
