Refund Policy
Last updated: August 23, 2026
This policy covers payments made on the Platform: creator and customer subscription plans, booking credits, and bookings arranged between customers and creators. Please read it before subscribing — current plan details are on the Pricing page.
Quick summary
Free plan available
Every account starts on a free plan — no payment collected, so this policy has nothing to apply to until you upgrade.
No general refunds
Review plan details on the Pricing page before subscribing — successful payments are generally final.
Failed payment cases
A refund is considered if your payment was deducted but the plan or credits never activated.
Technical downtime cases
A refund or credit is considered for verified, platform-side service unavailability.
1. Our refund position
Socialday generally does not provide refunds for successful subscription payments, renewals, upgrades, or booking-credit purchases. By completing checkout, you confirm you've reviewed the plan details, billing terms, and limits before paying.
Every account — customer or creator — starts on a free plan with no payment required, so this policy only becomes relevant once you choose to upgrade to a paid plan or buy booking credits.
2. Subscription plans
A subscription is billed for the cycle you choose (monthly or yearly) through Razorpay. If you cancel or downgrade, your current plan stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for — we don't refund unused time, except where required by law.
3. Booking credits
Booking credits are a one-time top-up used once you go over your plan's monthly booking allowance. Purchased credits are non-refundable once bought, but never expire while your account stays active — they carry forward until used.
4. Bookings between customers and creators
Pricing, delivery, and cancellation terms for an individual booking are set by the creator and agreed with the customer directly in the booking thread — the Platform isn't a party to that agreement and doesn't process payment for the work itself. Either side can cancel a booking that isn't already completed, with an optional reason; any refund for money exchanged outside the Platform is between the customer and the creator.
5. Cases where a refund is considered
Outside of Sections 2–4, we'll consider a refund only where:
- Failed payment with deduction — your bank, UPI, or card was debited, but the subscription or credits were never activated.
- Verified technical downtime — a platform-side outage materially prevented you from using a feature you paid for, not caused by scheduled maintenance or a third-party failure outside our control.
For downtime cases, we may offer a refund or an equivalent service credit, depending on severity and duration.
6. Non-refundable charges
- Successful subscription purchases and renewals.
- Plan upgrades and booking-credit purchases after successful activation.
- Charges resulting from not using a feature you already paid for.
- Issues caused by your device, network, or your bank's own delays.
7. Failed payments & technical downtime claims
7.1 Failed payments
If a payment fails but money was deducted, contact us with your payment reference. We'll verify the transaction status with Razorpay, and initiate a refund if it's confirmed as failed-but-deducted.
7.2 Technical downtime
Include the date/time, affected feature, and any evidence (screenshot, error message) in your request. We review our own logs before deciding eligibility — planned maintenance and force majeure events are excluded.
8. How to request a refund
Email hello@socialday.in with:
- Your registered account email
- Razorpay order ID or payment ID
- Issue type (failed deducted payment or technical downtime)
- Date/time and any evidence (screenshot or error message)
We aim for an initial response within 2 business days.
9. Processing timelines
Approved refunds are processed back to your original payment method through Razorpay, and typically take 5–7 business days to reflect, depending on your bank or payment provider.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll post the updated policy here with a new “last updated” date.
