Prorated Refunds
For annual or multi-month prepayments, we offer prorated refunds on unused months.
A cancellation fee of 10% or Rs 500 (whichever is lower) applies to cover administrative costs. Refund calculated as: (Unused Months / Total Months) × Payment Amount - Cancellation Fee.
Auto-Renewal Grace Period
If your service auto-renews and you immediately request cancellation, we offer a 48-hour full refund window from the renewal date. Requests must be submitted within this timeframe.
Service Level Agreement (SLA) Credits
We guarantee 99.9% uptime for our services. When we fail to meet this commitment, you receive automatic service credits.
Credits are applied automatically to your next invoice. SLA credits do not apply to issues caused by factors outside our control, including client configuration errors or third-party services.
Eligibility Requirements
First-Time Accounts Only: Only first-time accounts are eligible for money-back guarantees. If you have previously held an account with us, canceled, and signed up again, you will not be eligible. This also applies to second or additional accounts.
Fair Use Policy: Refund eligibility may be voided if excessive resource usage is detected during the trial period. Excessive usage is defined as sustained CPU usage above 80% for more than 12 hours, bandwidth usage exceeding 1TB, or storage usage above your plan limit.
Terms of Service Compliance: Violations of our Terms of Service will immediately void refund eligibility.
