Refund Policy
We stand behind our work. Here is our clear, fair refund policy for all services and products.
Last updated: January 1, 2025
1. Overview
At Code Clue, we are committed to delivering high-quality services. We understand that situations can arise where a refund may be needed, and this policy explains the conditions under which refunds are granted, declined, or partially credited.
This Refund Policy applies to all services, packages, and digital products purchased through codeclue.in or directly from Code Clue (HN Digital Education Private Limited).
2. Digital Launch Kit — Refund Terms
The Digital Launch Kit is our flagship all-in-one package. The following refund schedule applies:
| Scenario | Refund Eligibility |
|---|---|
| Website not delivered within 5 business days of payment | Full refund of all amounts paid |
| Client cancels before any work begins (within 24 hours of advance payment) | Full refund of advance (₹1,000) |
| Client cancels after work has started but before the preview | Advance (₹1,000) is non-refundable; no further charges |
| Client approves website preview but cancels before final handover | Second milestone payment (₹10,249.50) is non-refundable |
| Delivered work does not match agreed scope/requirements | Free revision; if unresolved within 7 days, partial refund up to 50% |
| Project completed and handed over | No refund applicable |
3. Custom Software Development & IT Services
For custom projects (web development, mobile apps, AI/ML, cloud, consulting), refund eligibility is based on the project milestone structure agreed in your Statement of Work (SOW) or project agreement.
- Before project kickoff: Full refund of any advance paid, minus a 5% processing fee
- After kickoff, before first milestone delivery: 50% of advance paid is refundable
- After milestone delivery and approval: Milestone payment is non-refundable
- Disputed deliverable quality: We will first attempt resolution via revisions (as per scope); if unresolved, a partial refund may be issued at our discretion
All refund decisions for custom projects are made on a case-by-case basis by our project team in consultation with both parties.
4. Software Products & Marketplace Purchases
For digital products purchased through our marketplace (SaaS tools, scripts, templates, and software licenses):
- Defective or non-functioning product: Full refund within 7 days of purchase if the product does not work as described and the vendor cannot resolve the issue
- Accidental duplicate purchase: Full refund if reported within 24 hours and product has not been downloaded or activated
- Change of mind after download/activation: No refund (digital products cannot be "returned" once accessed)
- Subscription services: Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time; no prorated refund for the current billing period
5. Non-Refundable Items
The following are strictly non-refundable under all circumstances:
