2. General Refund Policy
Because our paid services are digital services and promotional placements, purchases are generally non-refundable once the purchased service has been successfully activated, published, or delivered. However, refunds may be available in the specific circumstances described below. Nothing in this policy limits any refund or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.3. Paid Spotlight Submission Rejected Before Publication
A paid Spotlight submission may be reviewed before publication. If desifounder rejects a paid Spotlight submission before it is published or activated, the amount paid for that specific submission will be refunded. A rejection may occur where a submission:- violates our Terms & Conditions;
- violates our Content Policies or Spotlight Rules;
- contains misleading or fraudulent information;
- infringes third-party rights;
- promotes prohibited content or activities;
- presents a security, legal, or reputational risk; or
- otherwise does not meet the requirements for publication.
4. Published or Activated Services
Once a paid Spotlight launch has been approved and published or otherwise activated, the purchase is generally considered fulfilled and is not refundable. This includes situations where the customer:- changes their mind;
- no longer wants the launch;
- changes the project after purchase;
- decides not to promote the project;
- receives fewer views or clicks than expected;
- does not receive the expected engagement;
- does not receive customers or signups; or
- does not achieve the expected business or SEO results.
5. No Refund for Performance or Business Results
Purchasing a promotional service does not guarantee any particular result. Refunds will not be provided solely because a customer does not achieve a desired level of:- impressions;
- views;
- clicks;
- likes;
- comments;
- votes;
- followers;
- website traffic;
- signups;
- customers;
- sales;
- revenue;
- leads;
- funding;
- partnerships;
- search-engine rankings;
- SEO traffic; or
- other business outcomes.
6. Cancellation Before Publication
If you want to cancel a paid Spotlight submission before it has been published, contact us as soon as possible. Cancellation does not automatically guarantee a refund. If the submission has already entered review, been approved, been scheduled, or work has already begun on the purchased service, the applicable refund provisions of this policy will apply. Where a paid submission is rejected by desifounder before publication, the refund provisions in Section 3 will apply.7. SEO Article
The $149 Featured Launch + SEO plan includes one dedicated SEO article delivered within 7 days. The article benefit is considered a separate deliverable from search-engine performance. We do not guarantee:- search-engine rankings;
- search-engine indexing;
- organic traffic;
- backlinks from search engines;
- specific keyword positions;
- conversions; or
- any other SEO result.
8. Promotional Placement Periods
Where a plan includes a defined promotional period, such as 7 or 30 days, the service is considered fulfilled when the promotional placement is activated and made available for the applicable period, subject to reasonable interruptions caused by maintenance, technical problems, or circumstances outside our reasonable control. A temporary technical interruption does not automatically create a right to a refund. Where a material service interruption is caused by desifounder and significantly affects the purchased promotional period, we may provide an extension, replacement placement, credit, or other reasonable remedy.9. Permanent Dofollow Links
Where a purchased plan includes a permanent dofollow link, the link benefit is part of the purchased service. The permanent nature of the link does not guarantee:- search-engine indexing;
- search rankings;
- SEO value;
- referral traffic; or
- any other search-engine or business result.
- violation of our policies;
- illegal or harmful content;
- security concerns;
- the linked website becoming unavailable or unsafe;
- a legal requirement; or
- other circumstances requiring removal to protect the Platform or its users.
10. Bulk Launch
The $129 Bulk Launch provides unlimited launches for 30 days under the conditions displayed at the time of purchase. Individual launches remain subject to our Terms, Content Policies, and Spotlight Rules. The Bulk Launch does not guarantee that every submitted project will be approved or published. If a particular submission is rejected because it violates our policies, that does not by itself entitle the customer to a refund of the entire Bulk Launch purchase. The Bulk Launch purchase is considered fulfilled based on the availability of the purchased Bulk Launch service during the applicable 30-day period.11. Duplicate Charges and Payment Errors
If you believe you have been charged more than once for the same purchase, or that a payment was processed incorrectly, please contact us as soon as possible. After verifying the transaction, we may correct the error through:- a refund;
- reversal of the duplicate transaction; or
- another appropriate resolution.
12. Payment Provider Issues
Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers. If a payment is shown as unsuccessful but your account was charged, please contact us with the transaction details. We will investigate the issue and work with the payment provider where necessary. Third-party payment-provider fees, processing times, currency conversion charges, or bank charges may be outside our control.13. Taxes and Currency
Prices displayed on the Platform may be subject to applicable taxes or charges, depending on the purchase and applicable law. Where applicable, taxes will be shown or included as required. Refunds, where approved, will generally be based on the amount actually paid for the relevant service, subject to applicable taxes, payment-provider procedures, and applicable law.14.
