At (Website Name), we prioritize delivering safe, efficient, and dependable payment services. This Refund Policy defines the conditions under which refunds can be issued, the steps for submitting refund requests, and the responsibilities of both merchants and end-users. We advise you to read this document carefully to fully understand your rights and duties regarding refunds processed on our platform.
Scope of the Policy
This policy applies to every user of (Website Name), including individual customers, registered merchants, and business associates utilizing our payment gateway. It governs all transactions made via our platform, such as card payments, internet banking, UPI, digital wallets, and other integrated modes. Please note that this document does not extend to the independent refund policies of merchants using our gateway for their own product or service transactions.
Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds are applicable only under the following circumstances:
For transactions involving merchants, (Website Name) will process the refund solely after the merchant verifies eligibility and submits a request to initiate it.
Non-Refundable Transactions
Platform Fees and Deductions
Platform-related charges—including integration fees, convenience charges, gateway costs, and optional value-added services—are non-refundable unless the failure is due to a platform error. In merchant disputes, the final refunded sum may be reduced to account for processing expenses already incurred.
Refund Process
Timeframe for Processing Refunds
Once approved, refunds are initiated within 5–7 business days. The actual reflection in your account depends on your bank, card issuer, or payment method and lies beyond our control. You will receive confirmation of initiation through SMS or email.
Please be aware that certain delays may happen based on the bank’s or merchant’s internal refund procedures.
Transaction Reversal and Chargebacks
When a customer disputes a payment via their bank or card issuer, a chargeback may be triggered. (Website Name) will liaise with the merchant for resolution and may ask for documentary proof. If the chargeback is upheld, the amount is refunded to the customer, while the merchant may bear related charges or deductions.
Taxes and Additional Fees
Refunds on taxes such as GST will only be processed if tax laws allow them. Processing charges, administrative fees, or external costs may be subtracted from the refund where relevant, and such deductions will be transparently mentioned in the refund confirmation.
Merchant Responsibility
In merchant-linked transactions, the merchant is primarily accountable for approving or denying a refund. (Website Name) functions only as a payment facilitator and will release refunds once requested by the merchant, unless the refund stems from fraud or system malfunction. Merchants are required to maintain open refund terms and cooperate with us during dispute resolution. Non-compliance may result in withheld payments or suspension of services.
Policy Changes
This Refund Policy may be revised periodically to match new legal requirements, platform upgrades, or evolving industry standards. All revisions will be published on this page with an updated “Last Modified” date. Continued platform use after such updates indicates your acceptance of the changes.
