General Billing & Refund Policy Framework

This Refund and Cancellation Policy (“Policy”) outlines the terms governing digital service purchases, seller subscription packages, additional upload allocations, and priority listing upgrades executed on Yards & Acres.

Core Commercial Principle: As Yards & Acres provides intangible digital marketing services, technological quota allocations, and computational advertising bandwidth that activate immediately upon cryptographic confirmation of payment, purchased services are generally non-refundable once listing benefits, upload slots, or promotional priority tags have been activated or consumed. Refund eligibility depends strictly on the nature of the service, whether the benefit has been consumed, payment gateway verification logs, and the specific terms displayed at checkout.

Subscription Plans (Gold & Platinum Plans)

When a Seller purchases an annual subscription (such as Gold or Platinum tier):

  • Consumed Quotas: If a Seller has published one or more properties utilizing the plan’s upload allocation, no refund (partial, full, or pro-rata) shall be issued.
  • Change of Mind / Voluntary Cancellation: If a Seller decides to cancel or deactivate their account before the expiry of their 1-year subscription period, fees paid are non-refundable. The Seller may continue to utilize their remaining quota until plan expiration.
  • Zero Usage within 48 Hours: If a Seller experiences technical platform malfunction immediately after payment and has published zero (0) properties, they may submit a formal cancellation request within 48 hours of purchase for administrative review.

Additional Upload Pack Purchases

Purchases of add-on upload packs (+1, +3, or +5 listings) are immediate digital ledger adjustments credited directly to the Seller’s account. Once credited, additional upload allocations are final and non-refundable. Unused upload slots remain valid throughout the active duration of the Seller’s underlying subscription.

4

Priority Listing Feature Upgrades

Priority Listing promotional placements involve automated indexing, featured banner allocation, and prioritized search boosting. Once a property has been elevated to Priority status on the Platform, the promotional fee is strictly non-refundable, regardless of whether the listing yields buyer inquiries or an ultimate sale.

Listings Rejected During Administrative Moderation

If a property submission is rejected during administrative moderation due to missing documentation, inaccurate location, or low-resolution imagery:

  • The consumed upload slot is restored to the Seller’s available quota ledger so the Seller can resubmit corrected information or publish an alternative property.
  • No cash refund is processed for upload slots that can be readily reused for another compliant listing within the plan period.
  • If an entire account is terminated for intentional fraud, forged title documents, or legal malfeasance, all paid fees are forfeited.

Technical Duplicate Payments & Gateway Failures

We acknowledge that payment network latency or banking aggregator timeouts can occasionally cause anomalies:

Duplicate Deductions: If your bank account or card is debited multiple times for a single order due to a network glitch, the extra deduction will be refunded back to the original payment source via Razorpay within 5 to 7 business banking days.

Debited but Not Activated: If funds are deducted from your account but your plan quota is not reflected due to network dropouts, our server-side auto-reconciliation will either: (a) activate the plan automatically upon receiving the payment webhook, or (b) initiate an automatic reversal within 7 banking days.
