Refund & Service Charge Policy

Transparent terms that protect both our commitment to quality and your investment

Tax & Registration Status

Zetorator operates as an unregistered entity under GST regulations as our annual turnover is below ₹10 lakhs. Therefore, no tax is collected on our services. All service charges are based on our price list or mutually agreed contract terms.

Payment Structure

Our payment model is designed to ensure commitment from both parties while providing flexibility during the early stages of the project.

Three-Phase Payment Schedule

All contracted services follow a structured payment schedule that aligns with project milestones:

Phase Percentage Milestone Description
Phase 1 50% Advance Payment Required upfront to initiate the project and secure your slot
Phase 2 20% 80% Work Completion Due when the project reaches 80% completion milestone
Phase 3 30% Final Handover Due upon delivery of completed service within agreed deadline
Important: Final payment (30%) must be completed within 24 hours of project completion or as per the agreed timeline. Delays in final payment may affect project handover.

Refund Policy

Our refund policy is structured to be fair to both parties while acknowledging the human effort, time, and resources invested in every project.

Refund Eligibility Window

Clients have the right to request a refund after paying the 50% advance payment, but only before we deliver any of the following:

Critical Refund Cutoff: Once any design, sketch, or model is approved and delivered, our core work begins. At this stage, refunds cannot be processed as significant time, effort, and creative energy have been invested.

Refund Calculation

Understanding that human effort cannot be reversed, refunds are calculated as follows:

Stage Deduction Refund Amount Explanation
Before any deliverable 0% 50% (Full advance) Full refund of advance payment
After design/sketch delivery 10% 40% of total Deduction covers initial creative work, consultation, and planning
After core work begins 100% No refund Once development/implementation starts, refunds are not applicable
