Refund Policy

At Appadd India Pvt Ltd, we are committed to delivering high-quality digital solutions and marketing services with transparency and professionalism. This Refund Policy explains the terms under which refunds may or may not be issued for services purchased from us.

By engaging our services, you agree to the terms outlined below.

1. General Refund Policy

All projects and digital services offered by Appadd India Pvt Ltd involve planning, consultation, resource allocation, execution time, technical setup, and in many cases, third-party tools or subscriptions.

Because of the nature of these services, refunds are only considered under specific conditions as outlined in this policy.

The project start date will be considered as the official date of project initiation, which may include but is not limited to:

  • Advance payment confirmation
  • Project onboarding
  • Requirement gathering
  • Access sharing
  • Strategy discussion or planning
  • Design, development, SEO, or marketing work commencement

2. Refund Eligibility

2.1 Refund Request Within 30 Days of Project Initiation

If the client requests cancellation or refund within 30 days from the date of project initiation, the refund will be processed under the following terms:

  • 30% of the total project amount will be deducted
  • 70% of the total amount will be refunded

This deduction covers:

  • Administrative and onboarding costs
  • Project planning and resource allocation
  • Internal coordination and consultation efforts
  • Initial setup and technical preparation

2.2 Refund Request After 30 Days of Project Initiation

If the refund request is made after 30 days from the project initiation date, the refund amount will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

This means the refund will be determined based on:

  • The amount of work completed
  • Time invested by our team
  • Project milestones achieved
  • Services already delivered or initiated
  • Technical implementation and campaign setup done so far

In such cases, Appadd India Pvt Ltd reserves the right to assess the project status and determine the eligible refund amount fairly.

3. SEO Plugin License Deduction

If, as part of the service, any SEO plugin has been:

  • Installed, and/or
  • Activated, and/or
  • Licensed for the client's website

then an amount of ₹18,500 + GST will be deducted from the total refund amount.

This deduction is applicable because software licenses and activation costs are non-recoverable once issued or used.

4. Domain, Hosting & Third-Party Service Charges

Please note that any charges paid towards domains, hosting, plugins, tools, APIs, themes, software subscriptions, ad spend, or any other third-party services are not fully refundable and may be deducted from the total refund amount, wherever applicable.

Domain Transfer / Domain Charges

If a domain has been purchased or registered as part of the project, the domain will be transferred to the client, wherever applicable.

Please note:

  • Domain registration or renewal charges are non-refundable
  • Domain transfer charges, if applicable, shall be borne by the client
  • Any charges applied by the domain registrar or third-party service provider during transfer will be separately applicable

This is because domain registration and ownership are handled through external providers, and such charges cannot be reversed once processed.

Other Third-Party Charges

The following costs, if already incurred, will also be deducted from the refund amount:

  • Hosting charges
  • Premium themes or plugins
  • SEO tools and software licenses
  • Paid ad campaign spend
  • Third-party integrations or subscriptions
  • External vendor or platform fees

Since these services are purchased through third-party providers, Appadd India cannot guarantee reversal or refund of such charges once activated, purchased, or used.

5. Non-Refundable Services

Refunds will generally not be applicable for the following once the work has started:

  • Website design or development work already initiated
  • SEO setup, implementation, or optimization work
  • Paid ads setup or campaign launch
  • Content writing, design, or branding work
  • Social media creatives or campaign planning
  • Strategy, consultation, or audit services
  • Technical setup, integrations, or deployment work
  • Partial or completed deliverables

Any work already completed, submitted, approved, or partially executed will be considered billable and non-refundable.

6. Client Delay or Inactivity

Refunds may also be restricted or reduced if delays occur due to the client, including but not limited to:

  • Delay in sharing content, images, or credentials
  • Delay in approvals or feedback
  • Incomplete project requirements
  • Lack of communication
  • Failure to respond within a reasonable time
  • Delay in providing technical access

In such situations, project resources may still remain allocated, and refund requests will be evaluated accordingly.

7. How to Request a Refund

To initiate a refund request, the client must officially notify Appadd India Pvt Ltd through either of the following methods:

  • Email
  • WhatsApp message in the respective project / communication group

A refund request will be considered valid only when a formal communication is made through the official channel.

Refund Request Must Include:

  • Client name
  • Project name / service availed
  • Date of payment
  • Reason for cancellation / refund request
  • Supporting transaction details (if applicable)

Verbal requests or informal discussions will not be treated as official refund requests.

8. Refund Processing Timeline

Once a refund request is reviewed and approved, the eligible refund amount will be processed within 30 to 45 business days.

Refund timelines may vary depending on:

  • Banking channels
  • Payment gateway processing time
  • Verification of project status and deductions

9. Right to Review & Final Decision

Appadd India Pvt Ltd reserves the right to review each refund request on a case-by-case basis.

The final refund amount, if any, will depend on:

  • Work completed
  • Tools or licenses used
  • Third-party costs incurred

The company's decision regarding refund calculations and eligibility shall be considered final and binding.
