Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: 25 April 2026
This Refund and Cancellation Policy governs payments made to UnknownDev (Pty) Ltd ("UnknownDev", "we", "our", or "us") for software products, subscription services, and custom development work.
Please read this policy carefully before purchasing any of our services. By completing a payment, you confirm that you have read and accepted the terms below.
1. Subscription Services
UnknownDev offers subscription-based access to its software platforms (e.g. UBooks):
- Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually)
- You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings
- Upon cancellation, you will retain access to the service until the end of the current billing period
- No refunds or credits will be issued for partial billing periods or unused time remaining
2. Cancellation Policy
- It is your responsibility to cancel your subscription before the next billing date to avoid being charged
- If a subscription is not cancelled before the renewal date, the next billing cycle will be charged in full
- Cancellation stops future billing but does not trigger automatic refunds for the current period
- Cancelled accounts will have their data retained for a reasonable period before permanent deletion
3. Refund Policy - Digital Products & SaaS
Due to the nature of digital software and the immediate granting of access upon payment:
- All payments are generally non-refundable once access has been granted
- Refunds will not be issued for change of mind
- Refunds will not be issued for lack of usage or failure to cancel before renewal
- Refunds will not be issued where the service has been used, even partially
4. Exceptions - When Refunds May Be Considered
Refunds may be considered at our sole discretion in limited circumstances, including:
- Duplicate or accidental payments
- Verified billing errors on our part
- Verified technical failures that prevent access to the service for an extended period
If approved, refunds will be processed via the original payment method within a reasonable timeframe. Approved refund amounts may be pro-rated based on usage.
5. Custom Development & Consulting Services
For custom software development, consulting engagements, or freelance work:
- Payments are non-refundable once work has commenced
- Deposits paid to initiate a project are non-refundable unless otherwise agreed in writing
- If a project is cancelled by the client, you will be invoiced for all work completed up to the date of cancellation
- Scope changes that affect delivery timelines or cost must be agreed upon in writing before work proceeds
6. Chargebacks
- We strongly encourage you to contact us first before initiating a chargeback with your bank or card provider
- Initiating a chargeback without prior contact may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account
- We reserve the right to dispute any chargeback and to provide evidence of service delivery to your financial institution
