At Sprocket Technology, we are committed to delivering high-quality digital solutions, IT services, and technology products.
Because our work involves time, expertise, and custom development, this Refund Policy outlines when refunds are applicable, and when they are not.
By purchasing any of our services, you agree to this policy.
1. General Refund Terms
Due to the nature of our business (custom-made digital and technology services), most payments are non-refundable.
Refunds may only be issued in specific cases outlined below.
2. Non-Refundable Payments
The following payments cannot be refunded under any circumstances:
A. Project Deposits
- All initial deposits (normally 30–50%) are non-refundable.
- Deposits cover planning, research, onboarding, and preparation work already performed.
B. Completed Work
Once a service, milestone, or project has been delivered, no refund will be issued.
C. Digital Products
This includes:
- Software
- Website templates
- Digital files
- Licenses
- E-books
- Graphic materials
- Online tools
Because digital items cannot be “returned,” all digital purchases are final.

Payments made to third parties on your behalf cannot be refunded, including:
- Domain names
- Web hosting
- Software subscriptions
- API credits
- Plugins & themes
- Advertising spend
3. Partial Refund Eligibility
A partial refund may be granted ONLY under the following conditions:
A. Work Not Yet Started

B. Work Started but Not Completed
If a project has started but is not yet completed:
- Refunds will be calculated based on hours worked
- Admin + resource costs will be deducted
- A maximum of 30% may be refunded
This is rare and assessed case-by-case.
4. Situations Where Refunds ARE Granted
Refunds may be approved if:
A. We Cannot Complete the Project
If Sprocket Technology is unable to deliver the agreed service due to internal limitations, you will receive:
- A refund for any undelivered portion

B. Duplicate Payments
If you accidentally pay twice for the same service:
- The duplicate payment will be refunded immediately

- The client delays the project
- The client fails to provide content or materials
- The client does not like a design after approving earlier concepts
- The client hires another agency mid-project
- Third-party platforms fail (hosting, plugins, APIs, etc.)
We cannot be held responsible for losses caused by client-side decisions.
6. Quality Guarantee (Revisions Instead of Refunds)
Rather than refunds, Sprocket Technology provides:
- Revision rounds

- Bug fixes
- Technical support
- Troubleshooting assistance
We ensure your project meets industry standards and your business needs.
