3. Project Cancellation

Before Work Begins

If you cancel your project before any work has commenced, you are entitled to a full refund of any advance payment made, less any applicable payment processing charges that cannot be recovered.

After Work Has Begun

Once project work has started, refunds are determined based on the amount of work completed.

The following may apply:

  • Discovery and planning work already completed is non-refundable.
  • Design work already completed is non-refundable.
  • Development work already completed is non-refundable.
  • Any third-party costs already incurred on your behalf are non-refundable.

If only part of the project has been completed, any eligible refund will be calculated after deducting the value of completed work.

4. Milestone Payments

Projects are typically divided into milestones.

Payments made for completed and approved milestones are non-refundable.

If a project is terminated before completion, the client is responsible for payment of all completed milestones and work performed up to the cancellation date.

  • Refunds are generally not available once the product has been downloaded or access has been granted.
  • Exceptions may be made if:
    • the product was not delivered,
    • the wrong product was delivered,
    • or the product contains a verified technical defect that cannot be resolved.

6. Subscription Services

For maintenance plans, hosting, or recurring subscriptions:

  • Customers may cancel at any time before the next billing cycle.
