1. Scope
This policy applies to all paid services we provide: factory audits, quality inspections, procurement management, and supplier verification.
2. Refund Eligibility
- (a) Full refund if we cancel the service before commencement.
- (b) Partial refund (50%) if the supplier cancels after we have commenced travel or arrangements.
- (c) No refund if the inspection is completed and a report is delivered, even if defects are found — finding defects is the purpose of the service.
3. Inspection Disputes
If you disagree with inspection findings:
- (a) Submit a written dispute within 7 days of report delivery.
- (b) We will review and, if warranted, conduct a re-inspection at our cost within 14 days.
- (c) Re-inspection is limited to the specific items disputed.
4. Service Quality Issues
If you believe our service was negligent — for example, an inspector failed to check agreed items — contact us within 14 days. We will investigate and may offer a partial refund or a free re-inspection, depending on the findings.
5. Processing Time
Refunds are processed within 14 business days to the original payment method. The timing of the credit appearing on your statement depends on your bank or card issuer.
6. Chargebacks
We ask clients to contact us before initiating a chargeback. Fraudulent chargebacks will be disputed with evidence and may result in termination of services.
