Cancellation & Refund Policy
Introduction
At [Your Company Name], we are committed to providing our clients with high-quality digital marketing services, including but not limited to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns, Social Media Marketing (SMM), Email Marketing, Web Design, and other related solutions. We value the trust you place in us and aim to deliver the best possible results for your investment.
However, we also understand that there may be situations where you might wish to cancel a service or request a refund. To maintain transparency and fairness, we have outlined a comprehensive Cancellation and Refund Policy that governs such circumstances.
By engaging with our services, you agree to the terms mentioned in this policy. Please read the entire document carefully before proceeding with any purchase or subscription.
Scope of the Policy
This Cancellation and Refund Policy applies to all:
One-time service purchases (such as website audits, setup services, or consultations)
Subscription-based services (such as SEO, PPC, or monthly social media management plans)
Custom service packages tailored to your specific business requirements
Any add-on or bundled service provided by [Your Company Name]
This policy is intended to ensure clarity in communication and avoid misunderstandings regarding financial transactions between us and our clients.
General Principles
Transparency – We strive to make our cancellation and refund process as clear and straightforward as possible.
Fairness – Both clients and service providers invest time and resources; hence, refunds are assessed fairly depending on work already completed.
No Guaranteed Results – While we commit to best practices and proven strategies, digital marketing outcomes (traffic, leads, rankings, or sales) depend on multiple external factors, and we cannot guarantee specific results. Refunds cannot be requested solely based on non-achievement of expectations.
Written Communication – All cancellation or refund requests must be submitted in writing (via email or ticket system) to be considered valid.
Cancellation Policy
1. Cancellation by Client
Clients may request cancellation of services at any time by submitting a formal written request.
For monthly subscription services, we require a minimum of 7 days’ notice before the next billing cycle to avoid automatic renewal charges.
For one-time services, cancellations will only be accepted if the project has not yet commenced. Once the work has started, cancellations may not be eligible for a full refund.
If you cancel after the project has begun but before completion, we may offer a partial refund after deducting costs for the work already carried out.
2. Cancellation by [Your Company Name]
We reserve the right to cancel any service in the event of:
Non-payment or delayed payment by the client
Client’s failure to provide required information, content, or approvals
Misuse of services, fraudulent activities, or breach of our terms of service
Circumstances beyond our control (technical issues, force majeure events, etc.)
In such cases, clients will be informed promptly, and if eligible, a pro-rated refund will be issued.
Refund Policy
1. General Refund Terms
Refunds will only be processed after evaluating the scope of work completed and the reason for the request.
A full refund may be applicable if the service has not yet started.
A partial refund may be applicable if some work has been completed.
No refund will be provided if the project has been fully executed or delivered as per the agreed scope.
2. Non-Refundable Items
Certain services and fees are strictly non-refundable, including:
Domain name registration and renewal fees
Web hosting services
Third-party software, plugins, or paid tools purchased on your behalf
Initial consultation or setup fees
Customized strategy development charges
Services delivered in full (e.g., one-time audits or reports already shared)
3. Refund Timeline
Approved refunds will be processed within 7–14 business days from the date of approval.
Refunds will be made using the same method of payment used for the original transaction unless otherwise agreed.
Transaction or processing fees charged by banks, payment gateways, or third-party vendors may be deducted from the refund amount.
Special Service-Specific Policies
SEO Services
SEO is a long-term process and results vary depending on industry competitiveness, website history, and algorithm updates.
Refunds are not provided based on keyword ranking fluctuations or traffic variations.
Cancellation requests will be honored for the upcoming billing cycle, but work completed for the current month is non-refundable.
PPC Campaigns
Since PPC involves direct ad spend with platforms like Google Ads or Meta Ads, refunds cannot be issued for the ad spend itself.
Our management fees may be refunded partially if the work has not yet commenced.
Once campaigns are launched, no refunds can be granted for the management fee of that cycle.
Social Media Marketing
If the client cancels before content creation begins, a full refund may be applicable.
If content has been created, designed, or scheduled, costs incurred will be deducted from the refund.
No refund will be provided for completed campaign months.
Website Design & Development
A refund request before project initiation may be fully accepted.
If cancellation occurs after the design phase, charges for work completed will be deducted.
No refunds will be processed once the website has been fully developed and delivered.
Email Marketing
Campaign setup fees are non-refundable.
Refunds for ongoing campaigns will only be possible if work has not started.
Dispute Resolution
If you are not satisfied with our services, we strongly encourage you to contact our Customer Success Team before filing for cancellation or refund. Our team will:
Understand your concerns in detail
Provide clarifications on service performance and expected timelines
Suggest alternative strategies to achieve desired outcomes
Work towards a mutual resolution
If a resolution cannot be achieved, the matter may be escalated to our Management Team, and if required, external mediation or arbitration may be considered.
Force Majeure
We will not be held liable for failure to deliver services or process refunds due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:
Natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, fires, etc.)
Acts of war, terrorism, or political unrest
Internet or server outages beyond our control
Pandemic-related restrictions or emergencies
In such cases, services may be postponed or rescheduled, but refunds may not be immediately possible.
Client Responsibilities
To ensure smooth service delivery and eligibility for cancellation/refunds, clients are required to:
Provide all necessary content, access credentials, and approvals on time
Maintain active communication with our project managers
Avoid misuse of services or breach of terms
Review deliverables promptly and raise concerns early
Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may limit refund eligibility.
Policy Updates
[Your Company Name] reserves the right to update, modify, or revise this Cancellation and Refund Policy at any time without prior notice. The updated version will always be available on our website. It is the client’s responsibility to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our practices.
