Explore our policies on transaction disputes, cancellations, and refund eligibility to ensure a secure payment experience.

1. Purpose and Scope

This Refund and Cancellation Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds or cancellations may be considered for services provided by ClearCred, applicable to both Merchants (including business associates, distributors, and retailers) and End Users. The policy is designed in compliance with prevailing legal regulations and industry standards to ensure fairness, transparency, and customer protection.

2. General Policy

All payments made towards service plans, platform usage, or wallet loading via ClearCred are non-refundable and non-cancellable once successfully processed, unless otherwise specified under the exceptions below.

This policy is governed by the Terms and Conditions and/or Merchant Agreement signed between the respective parties and ClearCred. Users and merchants are advised to read these documents carefully before availing of any services.

3. KYC Requirement for Access

Access to ClearCred’s platform and services is contingent upon successful Know Your Customer (KYC) verification.

• Incomplete or failed KYC will result in the non-creation of user IDs and ineligibility for service access.
• No refunds shall be entertained for transactions initiated prior to the completion of KYC, including registration or verification charges, if any.

4. Refund Eligibility

        4.1 For End Users

• In case of transaction failure due to a technical error attributable solely to ClearCred, and confirmed by the integrated payment gateway, the transaction amount (excluding payment gateway charges and applicable taxes) shall be automatically refunded to the originating bank account within 3 to 21 working days.
• If a successful transaction confirmation is received but the service is not delivered, users must raise a complaint via care@clearcred.in. Upon investigation and confirmation of failure to deliver, a full or partial refund may be processed at ClearCred’s discretion.
  
  

        4.2 For Merchants and Business Associates

        Refunds to merchants will only be entertained in cases where:

• The service failure is due to a platform-side issue.
• No value was delivered to the end customer.
• Sufficient logs and proofs (transaction ID, UTR, screenshots, etc.) are provided.
  
  

        Merchants must raise a dispute or refund request within 72 hours of transaction failure, via their registered              communication channel.

        Any amount refunded shall exclude payment gateway and network partner fees unless otherwise approved              under a specific commercial agreement.

5. Cancellation

• Once a transaction is successfully initiated or a payout/collection service is triggered via the ClearCred platform, it cannot be cancelled.
• Scheduled transactions (if supported) may only be cancelled if done prior to execution and within platform limits.
• In cases of duplicate transactions, users or merchants must report immediately. ClearCred will verify and take corrective action as per policy.
