1. Scope of This Policy
At Assam Labs, we pride ourselves on building honest, transparent client partnerships. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and eligibility criteria for refunds, cancellations, and payment adjustments across our custom software development, web applications, school ERP solutions, and consulting retainers.
2. Custom Software & Web Development Projects
Custom engineering projects involve dedicated developer hours, resource allocation, and tailored architectural work. Because of the bespoke nature of these services, billing is structured around clearly defined milestones:
- Upfront Deposits & Setup Fees: Initial commencement deposits cover architectural discovery, server environment setup, and resource reservation. Once project discovery has officially begun, advance deposits are non-refundable.
- Completed Milestones: Payments made upon the formal sign-off and delivery of a specific milestone phase (e.g., UI design approval, core backend deployment) compensate finalized labor and are non-refundable.
- Mid-Phase Cancellations: If a client chooses to terminate a project mid-milestone, billing will be prorated strictly for the documented engineering hours completed up to the written date of cancellation. Any unearned surplus from prepaid funds will be refunded promptly.
3. Subscription Products & Retainer Services
For standalone software licenses, cloud hosting plans, or monthly ongoing maintenance retainers:
- Cancellation Notice: You may cancel recurring maintenance or subscription plans at any time by contacting our billing team or updating your account preferences. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing cycle.
- Partial Billing Cycles: We generally do not offer pro-rated refunds for partial monthly billing cycles once the period has commenced, unless required by local statutory regulations.
4. Exceptional Circumstances & Technical Errors
We stand firmly behind the technical excellence of our deliverables. If duplicate billing transactions occur due to payment gateway errors, or if a critical service outage directly prevents service fulfillment on our end, we will issue a full 100% refund for the affected transaction without delay.
5. How to Request a Refund
To initiate a billing review or refund request, please send a written notice to our financial department detailing your transaction reference and reason for request:
Approved refunds are credited back to the original payment method (bank transfer, UPI, or credit card) within 5 to 10 working days, subject to processing times of the respective banking institutions.
