Refund policy
When we refund, and how to ask.
Last updated 12 October 2026
You are buying directly from a small company, so the policy that protects you should be easy to read. It is short and plain on purpose.
The cases
- We decline your order, or we can't finish the work
- A full refund, at once, no questions.
- A service order, and we haven't started (we don't have your answers yet)
- A full refund, if you ask.
- A service order you cancel after work has started, when we can still finish it and are not more than two business days late
- A full or a partial refund, depending on how much work is done. We tell you the amount and why.
- A service order, and we are more than two business days past the delivery date
- You may cancel before we deliver and get a full refund. The delivery date is a set number of business days after the day we have your complete intake, moved by any delay on your side: three for five custom policies, five for twelve, seven for twenty-one, and three for the questionnaire (four with the add-on).
- A service order, delivered
- The revisions the order includes are part of it: one for five custom policies or the questionnaire, two for twelve or twenty-one custom policies. Ask for them within the window on the order page. For twelve or twenty-one, both fall within one ten-business-day window from the original delivery. We refund only if we missed the scope the order page states, and the decision is ours. If we refuse, we explain why in writing.
- The template bundle or a single-policy template
- A full refund within 14 days of purchase, if you ask and the files don't open or don't match the order page. After that, or for another reason, no. If we refuse, we explain why in writing.
- The extra-50-questions add-on
- It follows the questionnaire order it was added to. Whatever refund applies to that order applies to the add-on too.
A revision changes what we delivered. It does not add work the order did not include.
