Refund Policy

Last updated: 18 August 2026

Overview

We'd rather you were happy than stuck. This policy explains when you can get a refund on the once-off setup fee, the monthly hosting fee, or add-ons, and how to ask for one.

This is separate from cancelling your subscription, cancelling stops future billing, a refund returns money you've already paid. See Cancelling vs. refunding below.

Setup fee

  • Before we start building: full refund, no questions asked, if you change your mind before we've begun work on your site.
  • Once we've started building: the setup fee becomes non-refundable, since it covers the time and work already put into your site. We'll always tell you before we begin, and if something's wrong with the build itself, talk to us first, see How to request a refund.

Monthly fee

The monthly fee covers hosting, domain, email, and support for that billing period, so it isn't refunded once it's been charged, even if you cancel partway through the month. Your site and email will simply stay live until the end of the period you've already paid for.

If you're charged in error, for example, billed after you'd already cancelled, we'll refund that charge in full.

Add-ons

One-off add-ons (like booking/calendar or analytics setup) follow the same rule as the setup fee: refundable if we haven't started the work yet, non-refundable once we have. Recurring add-ons (like an extra mailbox) follow the same rule as the monthly fee.

How to request a refund

Message us on WhatsApp or email, tell us what you'd like refunded and why, and we'll take it from there. If something about the build or the service genuinely didn't meet what was promised, we'll always try to make it right first, whether that's a fix or a refund.

Processing time

Approved refunds are processed back to your original payment method through PayFast, typically within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.

Cancelling vs. refunding

Cancelling your subscription is free, immediate, and available any time, see our Terms & Conditions. A refund is different: it's money back for a charge that's already gone through, and it's handled case by case as described above.
