The 7-day rule — please read first

All refund claims must reach us by email within 7 days

Any request for a refund must be submitted to info@eicra.com within 7 (seven) calendar days of the date on which the service was taken.

After 7 days, no refund will be issued under any circumstances. The 7-day period is a strict deadline, not a guideline. Claims received on day 8 or later cannot be considered, regardless of the reason for the delay.

A claim is only valid if it is made by email. Verbal requests, phone calls, WhatsApp or social media messages, and notes passed to individual staff members do not start the clock and are not treated as claims under this policy.

Scope of this policy

This policy sits alongside our Terms and Conditions. Where a signed scope document, service agreement or written quotation contains refund terms specific to your engagement, those terms take precedence over this page for that engagement. In all other cases this policy applies in full.

By engaging our services, making a payment or accepting a quotation, you confirm that you have read and accepted this policy.

1.2Definitions used on this page

Defined terms used in this refund policy
Term Meaning
Date the service was taken The date on which the service was delivered, commenced or made available to you — whichever is earliest. For recurring monthly services, each monthly cycle is a separate service date.
Service fee The amount charged by EICRA for its own work, shown separately on the invoice from any pass-through amounts.
Pass-through amounts Money collected from you and paid onward to a third party — AI model usage fees, platform subscriptions, third-party licences, employee salaries, statutory deductions and government fees.
Scope The written scope document or statement of work setting out deliverables, exclusions, acceptance criteria, timeline and price for your engagement.
Acceptance criteria The measurable tests written into the Scope that a deliverable must pass, including any accuracy threshold for an AI system.

The 7-day claim window

One deadline, applied uniformly to every client, every service and every amount.

2.1How the deadline works

Requirements governing the 7-day refund claim window
Requirement What it means
Deadline 7 calendar days from the date the service was taken. Calendar days, not working days — weekends and public holidays are included in the count.
Method Email to info@eicra.com. No other channel starts the claim.
Proof of time The timestamp recorded on our receiving mail server determines whether a claim is inside the window.
After day 7 No refund is issued. This applies regardless of the reason for the delay, including illness, travel, staff turnover at the client, or email delivery failure on the sender’s side.
Recurring services Each monthly cycle carries its own 7-day window, counted from that cycle’s service date.

2.2What your email must contain

A claim is complete — and the review only begins — when all of the following are provided.

  • Your company name and the name of the person authorised to make the claim
  • The invoice number and the date of payment
  • The specific service the claim relates to
  • A clear statement of what went wrong, in enough detail for us to investigate
  • Any supporting documents, correspondence or evidence you wish us to consider

If your first email is incomplete we will tell you what is missing. Provided the original email arrived inside the 7-day window, supplying the missing information afterwards does not invalidate the claim.

What can and cannot be refunded

Stated plainly, including the AI-specific cases most suppliers leave vague.

3.1What may be refunded

Where a claim is made inside the 7-day window and upheld on review, a refund may be issued in these circumstances.

  • A service was paid for but was not delivered at all
  • A duplicate payment or a demonstrable billing error was made
  • You were charged for a service you did not order or authorise
  • The delivery differs materially from the written Scope, and the shortfall is attributable to us
  • A delivered AI system fails the accuracy threshold recorded in the Scope, measured on the agreed test set, and the failure cannot be corrected by rework
  • An engagement was cancelled in writing before any work commenced

3.2What cannot be refunded

Non-refundable in all cases. In most instances the money has already left our hands and cannot be recovered.

  • AI model usage fees and tokens already consumed
  • Automation platform and software subscriptions bought in your name
  • Third-party licences and costs incurred on your instruction
  • A diagnostic, discovery or audit fee once the report has been delivered
  • Work already performed, in proportion to the work completed
  • Employee salaries, statutory deductions and government fees already paid under an EOR engagement
  • Any claim received more than 7 days after the service was taken
  • Dissatisfaction with AI output that meets the accuracy threshold agreed in the Scope
  • Dissatisfaction arising from information, instructions or approvals you supplied incorrectly or late
  • Outcomes depending on a government authority, model provider or other third party, where we performed our part correctly

3.3Why AI usage fees cannot be returned

When an automation runs, prompts are sent to a model provider and tokens are consumed. That charge is metered by the provider and billed either to your own account or passed through on our invoice at cost. Once tokens are spent the money is the provider’s, not ours to return. The same applies to platform subscriptions for a period that has already run.

This is why the Scope separates our service fee from pass-through amounts before you pay: so the distinction is visible in advance rather than argued about afterwards.

3.4Accuracy, rework and refunds are different things

AI systems produce probabilistic output. We do not warrant perfection; we warrant that a delivered system meets the accuracy threshold written into the Scope, measured on the agreed test set.

If the system misses that threshold, the first remedy is rework at no extra cost until it passes. A refund becomes available only where the threshold cannot be met and the deliverable therefore cannot be used for its agreed purpose.

Output you simply dislike, but which meets the agreed threshold, is not a refundable event. If accuracy matters more than the threshold you accepted, raise it at scoping stage — before the build — not on day six.

How a claim is handled

Five steps, each in writing, so there is a record on both sides.

4.1The process

Steps in handling a refund claim
Step What happens
Acknowledgement We confirm receipt of your email and record the date and time it arrived
Review We examine the claim against the Scope, the invoice, the work performed, the acceptance test results and any evidence you supplied
Clarification Where necessary we come back with questions; prompt replies keep the review moving
Decision We issue a written decision explaining the outcome and the reasoning, whether the claim is upheld, partially upheld or declined
Payment Where a refund is approved it is processed to the original payment method, in the original currency of payment

4.2Partial refunds, costs and deductions

Where part of an engagement was delivered correctly and part was not, a proportionate refund may be issued against the portion not delivered. The calculation and its basis are set out in the written decision.

Bank charges, remittance fees and any currency conversion difference arising on the return of funds are borne by the party incurring them and are not added to the refunded amount. Where a refund is approved after work has partly been performed, the value of that work and any pass-through amounts already spent are deducted.

Cancellation and chargebacks

Cancelling a service is not the same as claiming a refund. The two are governed differently.

5.1Cancelling an ongoing service

Notice periods, final invoicing and handover obligations for ongoing engagements — including managed AI operations and EOR services — are governed by your service agreement and our Terms and Conditions, not by this page.

Where you cancel an ongoing service, fees already invoiced for cycles that have been delivered remain payable. A cancellation does not create a right to a refund of past cycles, and the 7-day rule continues to apply to any claim about an individual cycle.

5.2Chargebacks

If you intend to dispute a charge, please raise it with us first. Initiating a chargeback or payment reversal without first submitting a claim under this policy may result in suspension of services while the matter is resolved, and does not extend or pause the 7-day window.

General terms and contact

Which law applies, how this page changes, and where to send a claim.

6.1Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of Bangladesh. Any dispute arising from it is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Bangladesh, or to arbitration in Dhaka where our Terms and Conditions or your signed agreement so provide.

6.2Changes, severability and language

  • Changes. We may update this policy. The version published here at the time you engage a service is the version that applies to that engagement.
  • Severability. If any part of this policy is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
  • Language. This policy is published in English. Where a translation is provided for convenience, the English version prevails in the event of inconsistency.

Questions before you commit? If any part of this policy is unclear, ask before engaging the service rather than afterwards. We would far rather answer a question at the quotation stage than decline a claim on day eight.

FAQ

Refund questions buyers ask first

Short, checkable answers. If your question is not here, ask before you buy.

How long do I have to claim a refund?

Seven calendar days. Every refund claim must reach EICRA Soft Limited by email at info@eicra.com within 7 calendar days of the date the service was taken. Weekends and public holidays count. After day 7 no refund is issued, whatever the reason for the delay.

How do I submit a refund claim?

By email only, to info@eicra.com. Include your company name, the authorised person making the claim, the invoice number and payment date, the specific service concerned, and a clear statement of what went wrong with any supporting evidence. Phone calls, WhatsApp messages and verbal requests do not start the clock.

Which services does this refund policy cover?

All services on this site: the AI Services menu — automation and agents, AI marketing, AI assurance, data analytics, and IT and engineering — together with EOR and workforce services. Where a signed scope or service agreement contains its own refund terms, those terms govern that engagement.

Are AI model usage fees refundable?

No. Model provider charges, automation platform subscriptions and any third-party licence bought in your name are pass-through or your own costs. Once tokens are consumed or a subscription period has run, that money has left the system and is not ours to return.

Can I get a refund if the AI output is not accurate enough?

Only where the delivered system fails the accuracy threshold written into the signed scope, measured on the agreed test set. AI output is probabilistic; dissatisfaction with output that meets the agreed threshold is not a refundable event. The remedy in that case is rework under the scope, not a refund.

What happens to the diagnostic or discovery fee?

A diagnostic or discovery fee covers work already performed — process mapping, analysis and a written report. Once the report has been delivered it is non-refundable, because the deliverable is the work itself.

Can I get a partial refund?

Yes. Where part of an engagement was delivered correctly and part was not, a proportionate refund may be issued against the portion not delivered. The calculation and its basis are set out in the written decision.

What if I start a chargeback instead?

Raise it with us first. Starting a chargeback or payment reversal without submitting a claim under this policy may lead to suspension of services while the matter is resolved, and it does not extend or pause the 7-day window.
