Subscription Fees, Payment and Taxes

We will charge you a fee based on your account plan by charging your payment method in advance for the subscription term you have agreed following your account’s activation. Should you upgrade or downgrade your account plan, your payment method will be charged for your new billing rate. At the time of your upgrade or downgrade, your prior account plan charges will be prorated based on the number of days under the prior account plan. Your payment method will then be charged at your new billing rate for the new subscription term thereafter. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable. If you are based in India, GST will apply in addition to the mentioned Fees in your account plan. If you are based outside of India, the fees do not include any taxes, duties, fees or other amounts assessed or imposed by any government authority, for which you are responsible except for taxes imposed on ReferralYogi’s income. You agree to pay or reimburse us for all such amounts upon demand, or provide evidence of payment or exemption. We reserve the right to change our fees and billing methods upon written notice. We will notify you of any fees changes by, for example, sending a message to the email address associated with your account, or posting on our Services or website. For existing contracts for which fees have been already received by us, we will implement the price changes during the next renewal period.

Refund Policy

Customers are required to fulfill all payment obligations associated with their chosen subscriptions, as specified in our pricing and payment terms. All amounts paid for subscriptions are non-refundable, except in cases of large contracts where exceptions may be considered. In the event of an eligible refund, the money will be refunded via SWIFT transfer or chargeback, as determined by the Company within 15 working days.

The Receiving Party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will terminate if the Receiving Party can document that such information (i) was already lawfully known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party free from any obligation of confidence, (ii) was disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who had the right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions, (iii) is, or through no fault of the Receiving Party has become, generally available to the public or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to, or use of, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law or a court or other judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party of such compelled disclosure promptly and in writing (to the extent legally permitted) and cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

The Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party’s possession or control and permanently erase all electronic copies of such Confidential Information promptly upon the written request of the Disclosing Party.
