Refund & Cancellation Policy

1. Introduction

This Refund & Cancellation Policy ("Policy") governs the cancellation of services and refund of payments made to Founder's Buddy ("we", "our" or "us") through our Website or other authorised channels. By availing our services or making any payment, you agree to this Policy.

2. Nature of Services

Founder's Buddy provides business registration, taxation, trademark, corporate compliance, advisory and allied facilitation services. Certain services may be provided directly by us or through our affiliates, consultants, authorised professionals or service partners. Approvals, registrations and certificates are subject to the decisions of the relevant government authorities or regulatory bodies. Accordingly, we do not guarantee approval, registration, timelines or any particular outcome. By availing our services or making any payment, you agree to this Policy.

3. Fees

Payments may include:

Each component is separate and governed by this Policy and applicable laws.

4. Cancellation

Cancellation requests may be considered only if the service has not commenced. A service shall be deemed to have commenced once any work relating to the engagement has begun, including consultation, document verification, drafting, internal processing, engagement of professionals or filing of documents with any authority. Where cancellation is accepted before commencement of the service, we may deduct administrative expenses, payment gateway charges and any other costs already incurred. Once the service has commenced or documents have been filed with any authority, cancellation will generally not be permitted.

5. Refunds

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

In exceptional circumstances, we may approve a partial refund at our sole discretion after considering the work completed and expenses incurred.

6. User Responsibilities

Users are responsible for providing complete, accurate and timely information and documents. We shall not be responsible for delays, rejection of applications or additional costs arising from incomplete, inaccurate or delayed information provided by the User.

7. Compliance with Applicable Laws

We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue any service where required under applicable laws or where the User fails to provide information or documents necessary for verification or regulatory compliance. Such action shall not entitle the User to any refund except where required under applicable law.

8. Payment Disputes & Refund Processing

Users are encouraged to contact us before initiating any chargeback or payment dispute. Approved refunds, if any, shall generally be processed to the original payment method within 7–10 working days, subject to banking and payment gateway timelines.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted under applicable law, our liability shall be limited to the amount paid by the User for the relevant service. We shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from government decisions, regulatory actions, delays or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

10. Force Majeure

We shall not be responsible for any delay or failure in performing our obligations due to events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of God, pandemics, governmental actions, internet disruptions, cyber incidents, technical failures or other force majeure events.

11. Non-Waiver

Any failure or delay by Founder's Buddy in exercising any right or remedy under this Policy shall not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy.

12. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

This Policy shall be governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of this Policy shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra.

13. Changes to this Policy
