1. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products included in a package are utilised to their full potential;
2. It is your responsibility to ensure the appropriateness and compatibility of package that you are purchasing;
3. You have ensured that package that you are purchasing is appropriate and compatible to your needs prior to making the purchase;
4. We are not obliged to provide refunds or account credit for any package, or product included in a package, that is functional, as described, or of acceptable quality for the purpose which it is provided by us. We reserve the right, subject to these terms and our discretion, to offer you:
   1. An account credit; or
   2. A refund
5. only in circumstances where a cancellation request has been filed within 72 hours, being the reasonable 'rejection period' of the purchase application being made.
6. Any refund or account credit provided for any reason will be at the price it was sold to you. Therefore, a product in a package that is refunded or given account credit will be at that discounted price. You do not have the right to a refund of each individual product as advertised on the website outside of the packages advertised. Packages are at a discounted rate and this is the rate at which refunds or account credit will be provided.
7. We may offer account credit to be applied to your account as a gesture of goodwill. Account credits can only be redeemed via purchase of any product/services(s) available at our website.
8. We may choose, on your request to downgrade a package however no refund or account credit will be applied if outside the 72 hour rejection period where we have determined that the package provided is functional, as described, or of acceptable quality for the purpose for which it is provided;
9. No refund or account credit will be provided for a product(s) included in a package, regardless of whether it is inside the 72 hour rejection period, if we determine that the product(s) is functional as described, or of acceptable quality for the purpose for which it is provided.
10. You are liable to pay any administrative costs incurred by us as a result of refunding any package within the 72 hour rejection period;
11. Deposit/Cheque order cancellations will result in a credit being applied to your account or result in a surcharge to be taken from the refunded amount offered;
12. Direct Deposit overpayments will either be returned via full account credit or transaction reversal minus surcharge;
13. Your request for refund will be denied where:
    1. Any product in a package has been used illegally or outside the terms of service (spam, trojan, resource abuse resulting in a suspension, or any other way we deem to be inappropriate, including a website being compromised due to a vulnerability of an application installed by the user);
    2. We believe you have breached your agreement with clause 26.1.2 in any way;
    3. We have sent communication to you, and we do not receive a response to our communication within 1 week of us sending such communication; or
    4. We believe the request is fraudulent.
14. We take no responsibility for any mistakes in application either on the advice of our staff or your sole decision; and
15. You are liable for the costs we incur (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) if you make any claim in connection with or arising from a package, and you have breached your agreement with clause 26.1.2 of these Terms in any way whatsoever at any time after indicating your agreement to these Terms.
16. No refund or account credit can be given for a domain name that has been purchased. The purchase price for domain names are used to purchase the domain from the appropriate registry and therefore is not an amount that is retained by us and can subsequently be refunded.

26.2.2 Process of claiming refund

In order to claim a refund or account credit, you undertake to clearly request a refund or account credit (and provide reasons for the request) via email to us within 72 hours from the date that the package was provisioned as defined by the invoice creation date, or within 72 hours of the dispute occurring.
