Customization Work
We understand that customization needs may change. For customization work, cancellations and refunds are possible under the following terms:
- Before Customization Work Begins:
- If customization work has not commenced, we offer a refund of 100% of the corresponding order amount, with a deduction of $800 as a surcharge due to the system study and design efforts.
- During Early Stages of Customization:
- If customization work has started but remains under 50% completion, we provide a refund of 50% of the corresponding order amount, with a deduction of $1,600 as a surcharge.
- Progress Beyond 50% Completion:
- If the customization work has progressed beyond the halfway mark or is more than 50% complete, refunds cannot be processed. Refunds, if applicable, will be calculated based on the percentage of time that has elapsed in the customization work at the point of cancellation. Any supplementary work or materials provided as part of the order will not qualify for a refund.
- Initiating a Cancellation and Refund:
- To initiate a cancellation and refund request, kindly reach out to our customer support team via email. Provide your order details along with the reasons for cancellation. We value your satisfaction and will guide you through the process promptly.
