Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last reviewed: TODO_REVIEW_DATE · Reviewed by: TODO_REVIEWER
In short
We refund our service fee when an order fails for a Sahipaper-side reason. We cannot refund government fees once they’ve been paid to a department — that money is with the government, not with us.
When you get a full refund
- We are unable to file your application due to an error on our side.
- We cancel your order before submission for any reason. Government fee is also refunded in this case because it hasn’t been paid yet.
- Payment is captured but no order is created on our system within 24 hours (rare — usually a webhook hiccup; we auto-detect and refund).
When you get a partial refund
- You cancel after we’ve started work but before the application is filed with the department. We refund the service fee minus reasonable work-done charges (typically TODO_WORK_DONE_PCT%).
- The department rejects your application for reasons outside our control (e.g. mismatched documents you supplied). We’ll re-file once at no additional service fee; if you decide not to proceed, government fee is non-refundable, service fee may be refundable at our discretion.
When refunds don’t apply
- Government fees that have already been paid to a department on your behalf.
- Orders where the certificate has been delivered.
- Customer no-show for doorstep document collection more than twice in a row (we’ll cancel and charge a service-completion fee).
