If Company is unable to complete the Fix and resolve the Client’s issue, a 100% refund will be issued.
If a refund is approved, the refund amount (where it’s not a full refund due to the fix not being completed) will be determined based on the extent of work completed and costs incurred. In no event will the refund amount exceed the total amount paid by the Client for the one-time Fix.
5.2 Cancellations and Refunds for Long-Term Support
In the event that the Client cancels their monthly Long-Term Support Agreement, Company will continue to provide the Service until the end of the then-current monthly billing cycle, and no refunds will be issued for the remaining period.
In the event that the Client cancels their annual Long-Term Support Agreement, the following refund policy shall apply:
- Refunds will be issued only for complete, unused months of the annual term. No refunds will be provided for any month in which services have been rendered.
- The refund amount will be calculated based on Company’s standard monthly rate for the Long-Term Support Service, not the discounted annual rate paid by the Client.
- To calculate the refund, the number of completed months will be multiplied by the standard monthly rate, and this amount will be deducted from the total annual payment. The difference will be the refund amount.
Cancellation requests must be submitted using the Client Portal at least 15 days before the desired cancellation date.
5.3 Non-Refundable Fees

This includes, but is not limited to, loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption.

5. Access to Client Websites
5.1 How We Access Client Websites
In order to provide our services, we need access to client websites. Our access practices are as follows:
