Refund Policy
Contents
1. Overview
FindARisk sells digital inspection checklists delivered electronically and immediately upon payment. Because our products are digital and access is granted instantly, our refund policy is necessarily different from physical product returns.
This policy is designed to be fair to customers while protecting against abuse. It complies with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, and applicable RBI guidelines for digital payment disputes.
We handle all refund requests on a case-by-case basis. When in doubt, we err on the side of the customer.
2. Digital Product Policy
All FindARisk products are:
- Digital in nature — no physical delivery
- Delivered instantly and permanently upon successful payment
- Accessible 24/7 via your registered account at findarisk.com
- Non-expiring — once purchased, access is permanent
Because digital access is granted immediately and the product cannot be "returned" in the traditional sense, refunds are governed by the specific circumstances below rather than a blanket return window.
3. When We Will Issue a Full Refund
You are entitled to a full refund in the following situations:
- Payment charged but no access granted: Your payment was deducted but the checklist did not unlock in your account
- Duplicate charge: You were charged more than once for the same product
- Technical failure: A confirmed bug or technical error on our platform prevented you from accessing or using the product
- Wrong product delivered: You purchased one product but were given access to a different one
- Unauthorised transaction: You did not authorise the payment and can demonstrate this credibly
Refund requests under this section must be raised within 30 days of the original transaction date.
4. When We Will Not Issue a Refund
Refunds will not be issued in the following circumstances:
- You accessed and used the checklist and then decided you didn't need it
- You purchased the product after already making a vehicle purchase decision
- You claim the checklist "didn't work" but cannot identify a specific technical defect
- You changed your mind about the vehicle inspection
- You purchased the wrong product (e.g. New Car PDI instead of Used Car PDI) — please contact us before purchasing if you are unsure which is right for you
- Your purchase was more than 30 days ago and no technical failure is evident
- You are attempting to circumvent our purchase gate by claiming a refund after access
5. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund, email us at support@findarisk.com with the following information:
- Subject line: "Refund Request — [Your registered email]"
- Your registered email address
- The product you purchased
- Date of purchase (approximate is fine)
- Razorpay payment ID if available (starts with "pay_")
- A clear description of the issue you experienced
We will acknowledge your request within 2 business days and provide a resolution within 7 business days.
We may ask for additional information such as screenshots or screen recordings to verify technical issues. We appreciate your cooperation in providing these — it allows us to resolve your case faster and improve our platform.
6. Refund Timeline
| Stage | Timeframe |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgement of refund request | Within 2 business days |
| Decision communicated to you | Within 7 business days |
| Refund initiated (if approved) | Within 2 business days of approval |
| Credit to original payment method | 5–10 business days (depending on bank/payment provider) |
Refunds are processed back to the original payment method (card, UPI, netbanking) used for the transaction. We cannot process refunds to a different payment method.
In some cases, Razorpay's processing timelines may affect when the refund appears in your account. If you do not see the refund after 10 business days from approval, please contact your bank before reaching out to us.
7. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes
A chargeback is when you dispute a transaction directly with your bank or card issuer rather than requesting a refund from us.
We strongly encourage you to contact us at support@findarisk.com before initiating a chargeback. In most cases, we can resolve the issue faster than a formal bank dispute process.
If you initiate a chargeback:
- Your account access will be suspended immediately pending investigation
- We will submit evidence of purchase and digital delivery to your bank or Razorpay
- If the chargeback is found to be fraudulent or unjustified, your account will be permanently terminated
- We reserve the right to recover chargeback fees and administrative costs in cases of unjustified disputes
Legitimate chargebacks (e.g. genuine unauthorised transactions) will be resolved in your favour and your account will not be penalised.
8. Cancellations
FindARisk does not offer subscriptions — all purchases are one-time payments. There is nothing to cancel once a purchase is made.
If you wish to close your account, email us at support@findarisk.com. Account closure does not entitle you to a refund for previous purchases. Your purchase records will be retained for the statutory period as required by Indian law.
9. Force Majeure
FindARisk shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:
- Acts of God, natural disasters, or pandemics
- Government actions, regulations, or sanctions
- Internet or infrastructure failures beyond our control
- Third party service outages (Supabase, Razorpay, Netlify, etc.)
- Cyberattacks or data breaches affecting third party services
In genuine force majeure situations affecting your access to a purchased product, we will extend your access period or provide an alternative remedy at our discretion.
10. Consumer Protection Rights
This Refund Policy does not limit or exclude any rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or other applicable Indian consumer protection legislation. If you believe your consumer rights have been violated, you may:
- File a complaint with us directly at support@findarisk.com
- File a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline at 1800-11-4000
- File a complaint on the Consumer Online Resource and Empowerment Centre at consumerhelpline.gov.in
- Approach a Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (Consumer Forum) in your jurisdiction
We are committed to complying with all applicable consumer protection laws and will cooperate fully with any consumer forum or regulatory authority.
