Refund Policy
Last updated: January 2026
-
This Refund Policy governs requests for refunds and cancellations for
services provided by Saclen. The terms in a signed project proposal or
agreement take precedence over this policy where they differ.
-
Deposit and initial payments. A deposit or initial payment may be
required to begin work on a project. Unless the project proposal
states otherwise, deposits are non-refundable. The proposal will
specify deposit amounts and any refundable conditions.
-
Cancellation before work begins. If the client cancels the project
before Saclen commences billable work, Saclen may, at its discretion,
refund prepaid amounts after deducting reasonable administrative fees.
Refunds in such cases are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
-
Cancellation after work has commenced. If the client cancels the
project after work has started, the client is responsible for payment
for work completed and for any non-recoverable costs incurred up to
the date of cancellation. Any refundable balance will be calculated
after deducting those amounts.
-
Milestone and final payments. Payments tied to approved milestones or
final delivery are non-refundable except where expressly stated in
writing or required by applicable law. Requests for refunds based on
dissatisfaction must be submitted in writing and will be reviewed in
accordance with the revision and dispute process set out in the
project agreement.
-
Third-party costs. Fees paid to third-party providers, including but
not limited to hosting, domain registration, premium plugins,
licenses, or subscriptions, are not refundable by Saclen. Clients
should seek refunds or cancellations directly from the third-party
provider in accordance with that provider's policies.
-
Service failure by Saclen. If Saclen materially fails to perform the
agreed services, Saclen will, at its option, use reasonable efforts to
complete the services to the client's reasonable satisfaction or issue
a refund for the undelivered portion of services, after deducting
amounts for work performed and expenses incurred up to the date of
failure.
-
How to request a refund. All refund requests must be submitted in
writing to the contact specified in the project proposal or via
Saclen's official contact channels. A refund request must include the
project reference, the reason for the request, and any supporting
documentation.
-
Assessment and processing. Saclen will acknowledge receipt of a refund
request within a reasonable period and will evaluate the request in
good faith. If a refund is approved, Saclen will process the refund
using the original payment method where possible. Processing times may
vary depending on payment processors or banking institutions.
-
Disputes. Any disputes arising from refund requests will be handled
according to the dispute resolution procedures specified in the
project agreement. This policy does not limit either party's rights
under applicable law.
-
Changes to this policy. Saclen reserves the right to modify this
Refund Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective upon posting
on our website or providing notice to clients where reasonable.
Continued use of our services after updates signifies acceptance of
the revised policy.
