Refund Policy Overview

Refunds are reviewed fairly based on project stage, completed work and service type

Nexus Web & Software provides digital services that are often customized to each client. Once planning, design, development, setup, consultation, SEO research, technical support or project management work begins, time and resources are committed to the project.

For this reason, refunds are not always available after work has started. Completed milestones, approved deliverables, custom code, design drafts, research, audits, written content, setup work, consultation, support time and third-party purchases may be non-refundable.

This policy applies unless a separate written agreement, invoice term, proposal or service contract states different refund terms for a specific project.

Refund policy covers

  • Website development and web design payments
  • Software, dashboard, portal and app development
  • WordPress, Shopify and WooCommerce projects
  • SEO, content, audits and technical optimization
  • Support, maintenance and troubleshooting work
  • Deposits, milestones, cancellations and third-party costs

1. General Refund Terms

Refund eligibility depends on the nature and stage of the service

Digital services are often customized, time-based and milestone-driven, so refunds are reviewed carefully.

Case-by-case review

Refund requests are reviewed case by case. We consider the project agreement, payment type, work completed, time spent, resources allocated, deliverables provided, approvals received, third-party costs and whether the service has already been performed.

Work already completed

Work that has already been completed, delivered, approved, published, reviewed or made available is generally non-refundable. This may include design work, development work, coding, consultation, project planning, SEO research, audits, testing, support tasks, setup and written content.

Custom digital services

Many Nexus Web & Software services are custom and created for a specific client, business, website, project, platform, app, store or technical environment. Custom services are generally not eligible for full refunds once started.

Service dissatisfaction

If you are not satisfied, contact us first so we can review the concern, clarify the scope, check deliverables and offer reasonable corrections where appropriate. Refunds are not automatically granted because of subjective preference, changed business direction or delayed client feedback.

Written project terms

If your proposal, invoice, service agreement or contract includes specific refund or cancellation terms, those terms may apply to your project in addition to or instead of this general policy.

Processing time

Approved refunds may take time to process depending on payment method, bank, payment gateway, currency, chargeback rules, invoice reconciliation and administrative review.

2. Deposits, Upfront Payments and Milestones

Deposits reserve time and allow project work to begin

Deposits and milestone payments are common for custom digital projects and are usually tied to work stages.

Project deposits

Deposits are generally used to reserve development time, begin discovery, schedule team resources, plan deliverables, review requirements and start work. Deposits may be non-refundable once work, planning, communication, resource allocation or project setup has started.

Upfront payments

Upfront payments for small tasks, support work, fixed-price packages, SEO tasks, landing pages, design work or development tasks may be non-refundable once work begins or the service is delivered.

Milestone payments

Milestone payments are tied to project stages such as discovery, design, development, content placement, testing, deployment or support. Completed or approved milestones are generally non-refundable.

Final payments

Final payments may be required before launch, handover, deployment, migration, source file release, admin access transfer or final delivery. Once final work is delivered or launched, refunds are generally not available for completed deliverables.

Payment pauses

If payment is delayed, work may pause. Delays caused by unpaid invoices may affect the timeline and availability of the project team. Previously paid completed work remains subject to this Refund Policy.

Unused future work

If a project is cancelled before all agreed work is completed, any potential refund or credit for future unused work will be reviewed based on time spent, completed work, allocated resources, third-party costs and written agreement terms.

3. Custom Work Refunds

Custom website, software, app and dashboard work is usually non-refundable once started

Custom work is built around the client’s specific business, brand, workflow, platform or technical needs.

Website design and development

Refunds are generally not available for website design or development work that has started, including wireframes, page layouts, HTML/CSS/JS work, WordPress setup, Shopify customization, WooCommerce setup, page content placement, responsive adjustments, forms, testing and launch preparation.

Software and dashboard development

Custom software, admin dashboards, client portals, CRMs, SaaS systems, databases, role-based access systems and reporting tools require planning and development time. Work completed on these systems is generally non-refundable.

Mobile app development

Mobile app development involves planning screens, user flows, backend APIs, testing, builds and platform-specific work. Completed app planning, UI work, development, testing and integration work is generally non-refundable.

API integrations

API work depends on third-party documentation, testing, authentication, data structure, provider limitations and custom logic. API planning, connection setup, coding, testing and troubleshooting time is generally non-refundable once performed.

Client-requested changes

If a client changes direction, changes business plans, no longer wants a feature, delays approvals or requests a different design after work is completed, refunds are not automatically available for completed work.

Reasonable corrections

If a deliverable does not match the agreed scope, we may provide reasonable corrections or revisions within the agreed revision terms. Corrections do not necessarily mean a refund is due.

4. SEO, Content, Support and Maintenance Refunds

Performed service time is generally non-refundable

SEO, content, support and maintenance work is often time-based and cannot be returned once completed.

SEO services

SEO services may include research, audits, keyword mapping, technical checks, metadata, schema, content planning, page optimization, internal links, local SEO setup and reporting. Completed SEO work is generally non-refundable.

No SEO result guarantee

SEO refunds are not provided because of ranking changes, traffic changes, algorithm updates, competitor activity, delayed indexing, market conditions or lack of leads. Search rankings, traffic, sales and leads are not guaranteed.

Content writing and copywriting

Written content, website copy, blog drafts, service page content, SEO descriptions, FAQs, metadata and strategy documents are generally non-refundable once researched, drafted, delivered or implemented.

Support tasks

Support tasks such as bug fixes, website edits, WordPress fixes, Shopify updates, form troubleshooting, hosting checks, SSL support, redirect setup, speed checks and technical assistance are generally non-refundable once work is performed.

Maintenance subscriptions

Maintenance plans may cover reserved support availability, monitoring, updates, backups, troubleshooting or recurring tasks. Past subscription periods and completed maintenance work are generally non-refundable.

Unused monthly support

Unused monthly support time may not roll over or be refunded unless specifically stated in the active support agreement. Support availability itself may be part of the service value.

5. Third-Party Costs and External Purchases

Third-party purchases are normally non-refundable

Many projects require tools, licenses, services or external platforms controlled by third-party providers.

Domains, hosting and SSL

Domain registrations, hosting plans, SSL certificates, DNS services, email hosting, server fees and related setup charges are normally non-refundable once purchased, activated or configured.

Premium themes, plugins and apps

WordPress themes, premium plugins, Shopify apps, WooCommerce extensions, page builders, templates and software licenses are normally non-refundable once purchased, installed, activated or assigned to a project.

Stock assets and creative materials

Stock photos, icons, illustrations, video assets, fonts, design assets, templates and creative licenses purchased for a project may be non-refundable depending on the provider’s policy.

APIs, subscriptions and external tools

API credits, SaaS subscriptions, CRM tools, email tools, payment gateway setup fees, booking systems, analytics tools and external software costs are controlled by third-party providers and are generally non-refundable after activation.

Payment processor fees

Payment gateway, bank transfer, card processing, currency conversion, international payment or transaction fees may not be refundable depending on the payment provider and banking rules.

Provider policies

Where a third-party provider offers a refund, the decision, timing and amount are controlled by that provider. Nexus Web & Software cannot guarantee third-party refunds.

Clear Scope Reduces Refund Issues

Most refund issues happen when scope, content, timelines, responsibilities or deliverables are unclear. Before approving a project, clients should review the quote, deliverables, revision limits, content requirements, third-party costs, timeline and support terms carefully.

Nexus Web & Software encourages transparent communication before payment. If you are unsure about a package, feature, timeline, platform, SEO service or support requirement, ask questions before approving the project.
