Refund Policy

1. Our Commitment to Customer Satisfaction

At seeed.digital, we stand behind the quality of our SaaS applications, browser extensions, mobile apps, and web services. We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. This Refund Policy outlines our commitment to ensuring your peace of mind when using our Services.

2. 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Eligibility Period: All new subscriptions to seeed.digital Services are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase. If you are not satisfied with our Service for any reason, you may request a full refund within this period.

First-Time Purchases: This guarantee applies to your first purchase of each Service. Subsequent renewals or purchases of the same Service may not be eligible for a full refund but may qualify for a prorated refund as outlined below.

3. Eligibility for Full Refunds

You are eligible for a full refund if you meet all of the following criteria:

  • You submit a refund request within 30 days of your original purchase date
  • This is your first purchase of the specific Service
  • The Service did not meet the functionality described in our product documentation
  • You experienced technical issues that our support team was unable to resolve within a reasonable timeframe
  • You have not violated our Terms of Service
  • You have not engaged in fraudulent activity or abuse of our Services

4. Prorated Refunds

Subscription Renewals: For subscription renewals, we offer prorated refunds based on the unused portion of your subscription period if you request a refund within 14 days of the renewal date.

Calculation: Prorated refunds are calculated based on the number of days remaining in your billing cycle at the time your refund is approved, minus any usage fees or transaction costs incurred.

Partial Service Issues: If you experienced issues that affected only part of your subscription period, we may offer a partial refund proportional to the affected time period or features.

5. Non-Refundable Items and Services

The following are not eligible for refunds under any circumstances:

  • Purchases made more than 30 days ago (unless eligible for prorated refund)
  • Custom development work or personalized services that have been completed or delivered
  • One-time setup fees or onboarding charges
  • Services that have been fully consumed, such as API credits or usage-based features
  • Accounts that have been suspended or terminated due to Terms of Service violations
  • Charges incurred due to your failure to cancel before the renewal date (beyond the 14-day renewal refund window)
  • Third-party services or integrations purchased through seeed.digital but provided by external vendors
  • Fees charged by your payment processor or financial institution

6. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, please follow these steps:

  1. Send an email to seeeddigital@gmail.com with the subject line "Refund Request"
  2. Include your account email address and order number or transaction ID
  3. Provide the name of the Service for which you're requesting a refund
  4. Include a brief explanation of why you're requesting the refund
  5. Describe any troubleshooting steps you've already taken or issues you've experienced
  6. Allow up to 5 business days for our team to review your request and respond

Note: We may request additional information to process your refund, such as screenshots of issues experienced or details about your use case. This helps us improve our Services and ensure legitimate refund requests.

7. Refund Review Process

Review Timeline: All refund requests are reviewed within 5 business days of receipt. We will contact you via email if we need additional information to process your request.

Approval Criteria: Our team will evaluate your request based on the eligibility criteria outlined in this policy, your account history, and any documented technical issues or service problems.

Decision Notification: You will receive an email notification with the decision on your refund request. If approved, we will provide details on the refund amount and expected processing time. If denied, we will explain the reason and offer alternative solutions when possible.

8. Refund Processing and Timeline

Once your refund request is approved:

  • We will initiate the refund process within 2 business days of approval
  • The refund will be credited to your original payment method (credit card, PayPal, etc.)
  • Processing time is typically 5-7 business days from initiation
  • Depending on your financial institution or payment provider, it may take an additional 5-10 business days for the refund to appear in your account
  • You will receive a confirmation email with a refund reference number once processing begins
  • For international transactions, processing may take longer due to currency conversion and bank processing times

Alternative Refund Methods: If your original payment method is no longer valid or available, we may offer alternative refund methods such as account credit or bank transfer. Additional verification may be required for alternative refund methods.

9. Subscription Cancellations

Cancellation Rights: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at seeeddigital@gmail.com. Upon cancellation:

  • You will retain full access to the Service until the end of your current billing period
  • No further charges will be made for subsequent billing periods
  • Your subscription will not automatically renew
  • You may still request a refund for the current billing period if you meet the eligibility criteria

Cancellation Before Renewal: To avoid being charged for the next billing period, you must cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. If you cancel after being charged for a renewal, you may request a prorated refund within 14 days as outlined in Section 4.

10. Service Credits as Alternative

Credit Option: In some cases, we may offer service credits as an alternative to monetary refunds. Service credits can be used toward:

  • Future subscription periods of the same Service
  • Upgrades to premium features or higher-tier plans
  • Other seeed.digital Services or products

Credit Terms: Service credits are typically issued at a higher value than the refund amount (e.g., 120% of the refund value) and do not expire. You may choose between a monetary refund or service credit when both options are available.

11. Exceptional Circumstances

Extended Service Outages: If our Service experiences significant downtime or outages beyond our service level commitments, we will automatically issue prorated credits or refunds to affected users without requiring a formal refund request.

Force Majeure: In cases of extraordinary circumstances beyond our control (natural disasters, pandemics, etc.), we will work with customers on a case-by-case basis to provide fair and reasonable solutions, which may include refunds, credits, or extended service periods.

Discretionary Refunds: We reserve the right to issue refunds outside the normal policy guidelines on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion, considering customer loyalty, special circumstances, or unique situations.

12. Refund Abuse Prevention

Fair Use: This refund policy is designed to protect legitimate customers. We reserve the right to deny refund requests if we detect patterns of abuse, including:

  • Repeated purchases and refund requests of the same Service
  • Evidence of Services being used extensively before requesting a refund
  • Fraudulent claims or misrepresentation of technical issues
  • Chargeback abuse or payment disputes filed without contacting us first

Account Restrictions: Accounts found to be abusing the refund policy may be restricted from making future purchases or may have their access to Services terminated in accordance with our Terms of Service.

13. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Contact Us First: If you are considering filing a chargeback or payment dispute, we strongly encourage you to contact us first at seeeddigital@gmail.com. Most issues can be resolved quickly through our refund process without the need for a chargeback.

Chargeback Consequences: Filing a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the issue through our customer support may result in:

  • Immediate suspension of your account and access to Services
  • Ineligibility for future refunds or service credits
  • Termination of your account
  • Blacklisting from future purchases

Disputing Chargebacks: We reserve the right to dispute illegitimate chargebacks and provide evidence to payment processors and financial institutions.

14. Changes to This Refund Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Refund Policy at any time to reflect changes in our business practices, legal requirements, or service offerings. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. We will notify you of significant changes via email or through a notice on our website. Your continued use of our Services after changes to this policy constitutes acceptance of the modified Refund Policy. Refund requests for purchases made before policy changes will be evaluated under the policy in effect at the time of purchase.
