Billing Policy

Refund / Cancellation Policy

This policy explains how KIDUART handles subscription cancellations, service cancellations, refund requests, and payment-related queries.

Effective date: 28 May 2026

Certain KIDUART services may be subscription-based, implementation-based, or one-time paid services.

Cancellations may stop future renewals, but refunds are available only in limited cases described below.

Setup, onboarding, migration, training, and professional service charges are generally non-refundable once initiated.

Approved refunds are usually processed back to the original payment method within the stated timeline.

Introduction

At KIDUART, we aim to maintain transparent and fair billing practices for schools, institutions, and other customers using our website, platform, and related services.

This Refund / Cancellation Policy explains when cancellations are allowed, when refunds may or may not be available, and how refund requests should be submitted and reviewed.

Scope of This Policy

  • Software subscription plans, annual or monthly platform access fees, and other paid KIDUART services.
  • Setup, onboarding, implementation, training, migration, customization, or professional service charges where invoiced by KIDUART.
  • This policy does not apply to free demo requests, unpaid evaluation access, or third-party fees charged directly by another vendor.
  • This policy should be read together with any applicable order form, invoice, proposal, subscription plan, or service agreement.

Cancellation Policy

Customers may request cancellation of subscription-based services at any time by contacting KIDUART through the designated billing, support, or account management channel.

  • Monthly or annual subscriptions generally remain active until the end of the current paid term.
  • Cancellation stops automatic renewal for the next billing cycle, if auto-renewal applies.
  • No prorated refund will be issued for unused time within the current billing cycle unless expressly approved by KIDUART or required by law.
  • If implementation, onboarding, migration, or training work has already begun, cancellation may not reverse applicable charges.

  • We may reject requests that are incomplete, unsupported, or inconsistent with the agreed commercial terms.
  • We may reject requests where the services were delivered substantially as described.
  • We may reject requests arising from user error, unsupported use, misuse, or customer-side systems.

Refund Processing Timeline

  • Approved refund amounts are generally processed to the original payment method, or another lawful method determined by KIDUART, within 7 to 15 working days after approval.
  • Bank, card network, UPI, or payment gateway processing times may vary and are outside KIDUART's direct control.

Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

If you believe a charge is incorrect, please contact KIDUART before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute so that we can verify the transaction and attempt a prompt resolution.

Unjustified chargebacks after valid service delivery may result in suspension of access, recovery action, or restriction of future services, subject to applicable law and contractual rights.

Separate Agreements

Important

If KIDUART has entered into a separate signed agreement, master service agreement, service order, statement of work, enterprise proposal, SLA, or other written commercial arrangement with a customer, the refund and cancellation terms in that document will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with this page.
