Refund & Cancellation Policy

Transparent commercial guidelines and terms regarding cancellations, advance payments, and refund eligibility.

Last Updated: 08 September 2026

Refund & Cancellation Policy

This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how refunds and cancellations are handled by CODE4UTECH CONSULTANCY PVT. LTD.

Because our services may involve professional time, developers, designers, infrastructure, planning, third-party resources, and project-specific work, refund eligibility depends on the type and stage of the service.

1. General Principle

CODE4UTECH aims to provide transparent and fair commercial terms.

Where a service is eligible for a refund, the request must satisfy the applicable conditions described below.

Nothing in this policy limits any mandatory consumer or statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded.

2. Seven-Day Service Refund Window

For eligible service engagements, a client may request cancellation/refund within 7 calendar days from the date of payment.

However, this 7-day policy is subject to the following conditions:

  • The service must be eligible for refund.
  • Work must not have materially commenced.
  • No substantial deliverable must have been completed or delivered.
  • Third-party costs must not have been incurred on the client's behalf.
  • The refund must not relate to a non-refundable third-party service.
  • The client must not have already consumed a substantial portion of the service.

Where work has already commenced, the refundable amount may be reduced by the reasonable value of work already performed, subject to the applicable agreement and law.

3. Services Not Eligible for the Seven-Day Refund

The 7-day service refund policy does not automatically apply to:

Domain registration
Domain renewal
Web hosting
Cloud infrastructure
SSL certificates
Email services purchased from third parties
Paid APIs
SMS services
WhatsApp services
Payment gateway charges
Advertising spend
Google Ads spend
Meta Ads spend
Third-party software
Third-party subscriptions
Plugins
Licences
Stock assets purchased for the project
Services purchased from third parties on behalf of the client
Government fees
Registration fees
Any third-party product or service

These items are generally governed by the respective provider's refund and cancellation policies.

4. Client-Specific Development Work

Custom development involves allocation of technical resources and project preparation.

If development has already started, a refund is not automatically available merely because the client changes its mind, changes business requirements, or decides not to continue.

Any refund will be assessed based on:

Work completed
Development hours
Design work
Project planning
Infrastructure costs
Third-party costs
Deliverables already provided
Contractual terms

5. Advance Payments

Advance payments are used to reserve project resources and initiate services.

An advance payment does not automatically guarantee a full refund if the client later cancels the project.

Refund eligibility will be determined under:

  • The project agreement;
  • The applicable quotation;
  • This Refund Policy; and
  • Mandatory applicable law.

6. SaaS Subscriptions

SaaS subscriptions may have different cancellation and refund rules depending on the product and subscription plan.

Unless otherwise stated on the applicable product page or agreement:

  • Cancelling a subscription generally stops future renewal.
  • Cancellation does not necessarily create a refund for the current billing period.
  • Promotional purchases may have separate conditions.
  • Usage-based fees may be non-refundable after consumption.

Where a SaaS product expressly provides a free trial, users may cancel before the end of the trial to avoid applicable future charges.

7. Third-Party Services Purchased for Clients

If CODE4UTECH purchases a third-party service on behalf of a client, the client may be responsible for the cost even if the client later cancels its project.

Examples include:

Domain
Hosting
Cloud server
SSL
API subscription
Software licence
Email service
SMS credits
WhatsApp credits
Advertising budget
Stock images
Plugins
Paid tools

Any refund depends on whether the third-party provider itself issues a refund.

8. Digital Products

Digital products, downloadable products, licences, software products, SaaS subscriptions, and similar digital products may have separate refund terms.

Where a specific product provides a separate refund policy, that policy will apply to the product.

9. Defective or Non-Conforming Services

If a client believes that a delivered service materially fails to conform to the agreed scope, the client should first contact us at: support@code4utech.com

We may investigate and, where appropriate, provide:

Correction
Bug fix
Re-performance
Reasonable remediation
Service credit
Other appropriate resolution

Refunds are not automatically the first remedy where the issue can reasonably be corrected.

10. Marketing Services

Payments relating to completed digital marketing work may not be refundable merely because:

  • Leads were lower than expected
  • Sales were lower than expected
  • Advertising results changed
  • Search rankings changed
  • The client did not receive the expected ROI
  • An advertising platform rejected an advertisement
  • An algorithm changed

Marketing outcomes depend on numerous factors outside our control.

11. Advertising Spend

Advertising budgets paid to platforms such as Google, Meta, or other advertising networks are separate from CODE4UTECH's professional fees.

Advertising spend is generally not refundable by CODE4UTECH once transferred or consumed by the advertising platform.

Any platform refund will depend on the platform's own policies.

12. Cancellation by CODE4UTECH

CODE4UTECH may cancel or suspend a service where:

  • The client fails to make required payments.
  • The client provides materially false information.
  • The client requests illegal activity.
  • The client uses services for prohibited purposes.
  • The client creates a security risk.
  • The client materially breaches the agreement.

Where appropriate, unused eligible amounts may be assessed for refund after deduction of applicable work and third-party costs.

13. Refund Processing

Approved refunds will normally be processed through the original payment method where technically and legally possible.

Processing time may depend on:

  • Payment gateway
  • Bank
  • Card issuer
  • Payment provider
  • International payment network

CODE4UTECH is not responsible for delays caused solely by financial institutions or payment processors.

14. How to Request a Refund

Send your request to: support@code4utech.com

Include:

  • Client name
  • Company name
  • Invoice/order reference
  • Date of payment
  • Service purchased
  • Reason for request
  • Relevant supporting information

We may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify the request.

15. No Waiver of Mandatory Rights

Nothing in this Refund Policy is intended to remove or restrict rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
