Refund & Cancellation Policy
Understanding our payment terms, cancellation process, and refund conditions for website development services.
At GridNest Web Solutions, we are committed to providing high-quality website development services with transparency and professionalism. This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains the conditions under which cancellations and refunds may be requested.
By purchasing our services, you agree to this policy.
1. Project Booking
- A project is considered officially booked only after the required 50% advance payment has been received.
- Work on the project will begin only after confirmation of the advance payment.
2. Payment Structure
Our standard payment terms are:
- 50% Advance Payment before development begins.
- 50% Final Payment before the website is delivered or made live.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this payment structure applies to all website development projects.
3. Cancellation Before Project Starts
If a client requests cancellation before development work has started, the refund request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
If no design, planning, consultation, or development work has been carried out, the advance payment may be refunded after deducting any applicable administrative or transaction charges.
4. Cancellation After Project Starts
Once the project has entered the planning, design, or development phase, the advance payment is generally non-refundable, as time, resources, and project planning have already been invested.
However, exceptional situations may be reviewed individually at the sole discretion of GridNest Web Solutions.
Note: Once the project has entered the planning, design, or development phase, the advance payment is generally non-refundable.
5. Case-by-Case Refund Review
We understand that unexpected situations can arise. Refund requests may be considered in genuine circumstances, including but not limited to:
- Medical emergencies
- Serious personal situations
- Incorrect payment made by mistake
- Other exceptional cases
Each request will be reviewed individually, and the final decision will be made by GridNest Web Solutions.
6. Non-Refundable Situations
Refunds will generally not be provided in the following situations:
- Development work has already started.
- Website design has been approved by the client.
- Source code has been developed.
- Project delay is caused by the client's failure to provide content or approvals.
- The client changes business plans after development has started.
- The client requests cancellation without a valid reason after work has commenced.
7. Client Delay
If the client does not provide the required content, images, approvals, or other necessary information for an extended period, the project timeline may be paused or extended.
Such delays do not qualify for a refund.

- Stock Images
- Third-Party Licenses

The client is responsible for reviewing the website before final approval and deployment.
10. Support Period
The free support period included with each package remains valid even if no support requests are made during that time.
Unused support time cannot be converted into cash, credits, or refunds.
