Please read this with your project documents.
A signed agreement, statement of work, approved proposal, or invoice may contain additional service-specific terms.
When work is considered started
- Work is considered started when discovery, research, audit, planning, strategy, design, content, development, setup, configuration, account work, campaign preparation, meetings, or project-specific communication begins.
- Resource reservation, onboarding, requirement analysis, environment setup, and third-party procurement may also constitute commencement where they form part of the engagement.
General refund position
- Payments are not automatically refundable merely because a client changes direction, delays inputs, stops responding, no longer needs the work, or is dissatisfied with a result that was not guaranteed.
- Fees attributable to work performed, time spent, accepted milestones, reserved capacity, approved output, consumed retainers, and non-recoverable third-party costs are non-refundable to the extent permitted by law.
- Nothing in this policy removes a mandatory refund or remedy available under applicable law.
Situations that may qualify
- A verified duplicate payment or accidental overpayment will be refunded or adjusted.
- A payment made before any work starts may be considered for refund after deducting payment charges, non-recoverable costs, and any specifically reserved resources disclosed in the project terms.
- Where a milestone agreement separates unused future work from completed work, a proportionate unused amount may be considered after reconciliation.
- If we cancel for reasons not caused by the client, we will assess a refund of the unused portion after completed work and committed third-party expenses are accounted for.
Non-refundable charges
- Discovery, consultation, audit, research, strategy, planning, onboarding, design, content, completed milestones, approved deliverables, and work already performed.
- Domains, hosting, cloud usage, software licences, themes, plugins, stock assets, fonts, API credits, creator fees, payment charges, and subscriptions already purchased, allocated, or used.
- Advertising spend paid to Meta, Google, creators, publishers, or other media providers, which remains subject to the relevant provider's policy.
- Rush work, emergency support, monthly retainers, maintenance allocations, and support hours already reserved or consumed.
Client cancellation, pause or abandonment
- Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing through the website contact form or another agreed written channel.
- If cancellation occurs after work starts, we may invoice or retain amounts for completed work, work in progress, resource allocation, administrative effort, payment charges, and third-party commitments.
- A project paused by the client may be rescheduled subject to availability. A prolonged pause may require revised pricing, technical updates, and a restart fee.
- A project may be treated as abandoned after prolonged non-response, missing dependencies, unpaid invoices, or failure to approve next steps after reasonable written reminders.
Subscription, retainer and campaign cancellation
- Recurring or monthly services must be cancelled within the notice period stated in the proposal or agreement. Cancellation takes effect prospectively and does not reverse work or capacity already supplied.
- Ad-platform spend and active third-party commitments may continue until they are paused or cancelled in the relevant account. The client remains responsible for charges incurred before cancellation takes effect.
- Unused monthly deliverables or hours do not roll over unless the written package expressly allows it.
Refund request and processing
- Submit the request through our website contact form with the client name, invoice or payment reference, service, payment proof, amount, and detailed reason.
- We may request supporting information and will assess the request against the project documents, work records, expenses, and applicable law.
- An approved refund is ordinarily initiated within 7 to 10 business days after written approval. Banks and payment providers may require additional processing time.
- Refunds are generally returned to the original payment method. Transaction fees and foreign-exchange differences may be deducted where they are not recoverable from the provider and deduction is lawful.
Governing law, dispute resolution and Delhi jurisdiction
- These terms and any service engagement are governed by the laws of India.
- The parties should first attempt to resolve a dispute through written communication and good-faith discussion for at least 30 days after a written dispute notice, unless urgent interim relief is reasonably required.
- If a commercial dispute remains unresolved, it may be referred to arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The tribunal will consist of a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by the parties, the seat and venue will be New Delhi, India, and proceedings will be conducted in English.
- Subject to the arbitration clause, applicable law, and any non-waivable consumer remedy, courts at New Delhi, Delhi will have exclusive jurisdiction.
- Nothing in these policies limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights available under applicable consumer-protection law.
