Refund and Returns Policy
At HOTA Digital, customer satisfaction is important to us. We are committed to providing high-quality professional services and a clear, reliable client experience. This Refund Policy explains the circumstances under which refunds may be available for our services.
1. Refund Eligibility
Refunds may be available under the following circumstances.
1.1 Service Not Started
If the purchased service has not been started or delivered within the agreed timeframe, you may request a full refund, subject to any non-refundable third-party costs already incurred.
1.2 Project Cancellation by the Client
If you decide to cancel a project:
-
Before the project begins: You may be eligible for a full refund of payments made, excluding non-refundable processing fees or third-party expenses already incurred.
-
After work has begun: Any refund will be calculated based on the work completed, time spent, resources committed, and expenses incurred before cancellation.
1.3 Failure to Deliver Agreed Services
If HOTA Digital is unable to provide the agreed deliverables due to an error on our part, we will first attempt to correct the issue. If the issue cannot reasonably be resolved, a full or partial refund may be offered based on the affected portion of the service.
2. Non-Refundable Circumstances
Refunds will generally not be provided in the following circumstances.
2.1 Completed Services
Once a service, project stage, or final deliverable has been completed and provided to the client, the associated payment is non-refundable.
2.2 Change of Mind
Refunds will not be provided when a client changes their mind or cancels a service after work has begun without any failure by HOTA Digital to meet the agreed terms.
2.3 Client-Caused Delays
Refunds will not be available when delays or interruptions result from the client’s failure to provide required information, content, approvals, feedback, account access, or timely responses.
2.4 Approved Work and Revisions
Work that has already been reviewed and approved by the client is non-refundable. Requests that fall outside the agreed project scope may be subject to additional charges.
