2. Refund Policy
2.1 Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds are available in the following specific circumstances:
- Within 7 days of first payment: If you are a new subscriber (following the completion of the 21-day free trial on Hivance or custom trial periods for other suites) and are unsatisfied with the Service, you may request a full refund within 7 days of your first subscription payment. No questions asked.
- Partial month/period refunds: If you cancel mid-billing cycle and have used the Service for less than 50% of the billing period, you are eligible for a pro-rata refund for the unused portion.
- Service outage: If the Service experiences downtime exceeding 72 continuous hours due to our fault, affected subscribers are eligible for a proportional credit or refund.
- Duplicate charges: If you are charged more than once for the same billing period due to a technical error, the duplicate amount will be refunded in full.
- Unauthorized charges: If a charge was made without your authorization, we will investigate and refund if confirmed unauthorized.
2.2 Non-Refundable Items
- Add-on usage charges (such as WhatsApp message template fees and AI consumption charges) that have already been consumed are non-refundable.
- Subscriptions cancelled after using the Service for more than 50% of the current billing period.
- Accounts terminated due to violation of our Terms & Conditions.
- Free trial periods (as no payment is involved).
2.3 How to Request a Refund
To request a refund:

- Include your registered business phone number or email, the specific billing period in question, and the reason for the refund request.
- Our team will acknowledge your request within 24 hours and provide a resolution within 48 hours.
3. Refund Processing
3.1 Timeline
- Approved refunds will be processed within 5–7 working days and credited back to the original payment source (UPI, debit card, credit card, or net banking).
- Refunds are initiated within 2 business days of approval.
- For credit card refunds, please allow up to 1 billing cycle (30 days) for the refund to appear on your statement, depending on your card-issuing bank.
- All transactions are processed securely via authorized third-party payment aggregators. We do not store your payment credentials.
3.2 Refund Amount Calculation
- Full refund (within 7 days): 100% of the subscription amount paid.
- Pro-rata refund: Calculated as:
(Unused days ÷ Total days in billing period) × Subscription amount paid. - Service credit: In some cases, we may offer Service credit (extension of subscription) instead of a monetary refund. You may choose to accept or request a monetary refund instead.
4. Plan Changes
4.1 Upgrades
When upgrading to a longer billing period or higher tier (e.g., monthly to quarterly), the remaining value of your current plan is credited toward the new plan. You only pay the difference.
4.2 Downgrades
When downgrading (e.g., quarterly to monthly), the change takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No partial refund is issued for downgrades; instead, you receive the full benefit of your current plan until expiry.
5. Failed Payments & Auto-Renewal
- Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before renewal.
- If a renewal payment fails, we will attempt to charge your payment method up to 3 times over 7 days.
- If all attempts fail, your subscription will be paused and your account moved to a read-only state.
- You will be notified via SMS/email before and after renewal charges.
6. Dispute Resolution
If you are unsatisfied with our refund decision, you may:
- Escalate to us directly by writing to the Grievance Desk at admin@printinfra.com. We will review and respond within 15 days.
