Client Project & Refund Policy

Effective Date: July 15, 2026

Thank you for considering Nahid Alam for your web development needs.

This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how project cancellations, refunds, hosting services, maintenance plans, and digital services are handled. By purchasing or engaging any of my services, you agree to the terms outlined below.

1. Overview

Every website and digital solution is developed specifically for each client. Because of the time, planning, design, and development involved, many of the services offered are personalized and cannot be resold or reused.

For this reason, refund eligibility depends on the type of service purchased and the stage of the project.

2. Project Deposits

Most projects require an advance payment before work begins.

The initial deposit secures your project schedule, planning, research, and development resources.

Once work has started, the deposit is generally non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or where I am unable to begin the project.

3. Milestone Payments

For larger projects, payments may be divided into milestones.

Each milestone covers work completed during that phase of the project.

Payments made for completed milestones are non-refundable, as they compensate for work already delivered.

4. Client-Initiated Project Cancellation

You may cancel your project at any time by providing written notice.

If cancellation occurs:

  • Work completed up to the cancellation date will be billed.
  • Completed milestones remain payable.
  • Any outstanding invoices for completed work must be settled.
  • Files, source materials, or website access related to unpaid work may be withheld until payment is received.

Any remaining work that has not yet been started will not be billed.

5. Cancellation Before Development Begins

If a project is cancelled before any planning, design, or development work has started, I may issue a full or partial refund of the advance payment after deducting any administrative or consultation costs already incurred.

Each request is reviewed individually.

6. Cancellation After Development Begins

Once project planning, design, development, or implementation has started, refunds are generally not available for work already completed.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Discovery sessions
  • Planning
  • Wireframes
  • UI implementation
  • WordPress setup
  • Elementor development
  • WooCommerce configuration
  • Technical SEO setup
  • Custom functionality
  • Website optimization

7. Client Delays

Projects rely on timely communication and content delivery.

If required information, approvals, or materials are significantly delayed, the project may be paused.

If a project remains inactive for an extended period due to client inactivity, it may be considered abandoned.

Restarting an inactive project may require a revised timeline and additional fees.

8. Change of Project Scope

Additional features or significant changes requested after project approval are considered outside the original scope.

These requests may:

  • Require additional development time
  • Affect delivery schedules
  • Result in revised pricing

Such changes are not grounds for refunds on previously completed work.

9. Website Maintenance Plans

Maintenance services are typically billed on a recurring basis.

Clients may cancel their maintenance plan at any time before the next billing period.

No refunds are provided for maintenance services already delivered during the active billing cycle.

Any prepaid maintenance period will remain active until its scheduled expiration unless otherwise agreed.

10. Hosting Services

If you purchase hosting directly through me, the following terms apply:

  • Hosting fees are generally non-refundable once the hosting account has been created or activated.
  • Domain registration fees are non-refundable after registration because they are processed through third-party registrars.
  • Hosting renewal payments are non-refundable once processed.
  • Any refunds available are subject to the policies of the underlying hosting provider.

If hosting has not yet been provisioned, a refund request may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

11. Domain Registration

Domain names are registered through accredited domain registrars.

Once a domain has been successfully registered, renewed, or transferred, those fees are non-refundable, as domain registrations cannot typically be reversed.

12. Third-Party Products and Services

Projects may involve third-party products such as:

  • Premium themes
  • WordPress plugins
  • APIs
  • Software licenses
  • Stock assets
  • Fonts
  • Hosting
  • Domain registrations

Refunds for third-party products are subject to the refund policies of their respective providers.

I cannot issue refunds for third-party products once they have been purchased or activated on your behalf.

13. Digital Deliverables

Completed digital deliverables, including but not limited to:

  • Website files
  • Custom code
  • Elementor templates
  • Design assets
  • Documentation
  • Technical configurations

are considered delivered services and are not eligible for refunds once provided.

14. Quality Commitment

I am committed to delivering professional, high-quality work.

If you believe any part of the delivered work does not meet the agreed project requirements, please contact me as soon as possible.

Whenever reasonable, I will work with you to correct genuine issues within the agreed project scope before discussing any refund request.

15. Service Refusal

I reserve the right to refuse or discontinue services if:

  • Payment obligations are not met.
  • Fraudulent activity is suspected.
  • Abusive or inappropriate behavior occurs.
  • Requests violate applicable laws.
  • Requested work falls outside ethical or professional standards.

In such cases, refunds will be considered only for work that has not yet been completed and only where appropriate.

16. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be held responsible for delays or cancellations caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Natural disasters
  • Government actions
  • Internet outages
  • Hosting failures
  • Power failures
  • Cybersecurity incidents
  • Pandemic-related disruptions
  • Other unforeseen events

17. Refund Processing

Where a refund is approved:

  • Refunds will be issued using the original payment method whenever reasonably possible.
  • Processing times may vary depending on payment providers or financial institutions.
  • Any transaction or processing fees charged by third-party payment providers may be deducted where applicable and permitted by law.

18. Dispute Resolution

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of a project or service, I encourage you to contact me first.

Most concerns can be resolved quickly through open communication, project revisions (within scope), or mutually agreed solutions.

My goal is always to maintain professional, transparent, and positive working relationships with every client.

19. Changes to This Policy

This Refund & Cancellation Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in services, pricing models, legal requirements, or business operations.

The latest version will always be available on this page together with the updated Effective Date.
