Refund & Return Policy

Last Updated: April 8, 2026  |  Effective Date: April 8, 2026

By purchasing any service or product from Eight Fold Cr8ation, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Refund Policy. Please review it carefully before making a purchase.

Overview

At Eight Fold Cr8ation, we strive for the highest quality in everything we deliver. This policy clearly defines the conditions under which refunds may be issued across our service and product categories. Given the bespoke and digital nature of most of our offerings, our refund terms are necessarily specific.

All refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the terms below. We are committed to fair and transparent handling of all disputes.

1. Custom Services (Software, Design, Media, Consulting)

Deposits:

  • All deposits (typically 50% of total project value) are strictly non-refundable
  • Deposits cover project planning, resource allocation, and commencement of work
  • Paying a deposit constitutes formal acceptance of the project agreement and these Terms

Client-Initiated Cancellations:

  • You will be invoiced for all work completed up to the date of written cancellation notice
  • Work is assessed at our standard hourly or milestone rate
  • Any surplus from payments already made may be refunded after deducting all costs incurred
  • All partially completed deliverables remain the property of Eight Fold Cr8ation until settled

Revisions and Dissatisfaction:

  • Each project includes a specified number of revision rounds (as stated in the agreement)
  • Refunds are not provided after the Client has provided final written approval and delivery has occurred
  • Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope will be quoted and billed separately
  • Creative subjectivity does not constitute grounds for a refund after approval

2. Digital Products & Downloads

All Sales Are Final

Due to the instantly accessible and non-returnable nature of digital goods, all digital product sales are final once download access or product credentials are provided. You acknowledge this at the point of purchase.

Limited Exceptions (refund or replacement may be offered):

  • Technical defect: Product is demonstrably broken or does not function as described
  • Wrong product delivered: You received a different product to what was purchased - contact us within 24 hours

  2. Include your order number, purchase date, product name, and a clear description of the issue

Rescheduling:

Date changes requested more than 30 days in advance may be accommodated subject to availability. Rescheduling fees may apply. Changes within 30 days are treated as cancellations under the timeline above.

Force Majeure:

If an event must be cancelled due to circumstances beyond either party's reasonable control (natural disaster, government restriction, pandemic, etc.), we will work with you in good faith to reschedule or provide a fair credit. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

4. Subscriptions and Recurring Services
