Refund Policy
REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY
Effective Date: 1 July 2026
This Refund & Cancellation Policy ("Policy") applies to purchases, subscriptions, digital products, software, physical products, services and other offerings provided by 1 TAP WORLD PRIVATE LIMITED ("1 TAP WORLD", "Company", "we", "our", or "us").
By purchasing or subscribing to any 1 TAP WORLD product or service, you acknowledge that you have read and accepted this Policy.
1. GENERAL POLICY
1 TAP WORLD provides a combination of digital products, software platforms, subscriptions, physical products, technology solutions and professional services.
Because different products have different delivery and activation methods, refund eligibility may vary depending on the product or service purchased.
The applicable refund terms may also be specified in:
- Product-specific terms
- Quotation
- Invoice
- Order confirmation
- Subscription agreement
- Service agreement
- Purchase page
- Written commercial agreement
Where a product-specific refund policy exists, that policy will apply to that product.
Nothing in this Policy is intended to restrict any consumer right or legal remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
2. DIGITAL PRODUCTS AND SOFTWARE
For digital products, software, online platforms, dashboards, subscriptions and electronically delivered services:
Once the product or service has been:
- Activated
- Provisioned
- Delivered
- Access credentials issued
- Account activated
- Subscription commenced
- Digital licence issued
the purchase may generally become non-refundable, except where a refund is required under applicable law or where 1 TAP WORLD expressly approves a refund.
This is because digital services may become available for immediate use following payment.
3. SUBSCRIPTIONS
For subscription-based products:
Before Activation
If a cancellation request is received before activation or provisioning, 1 TAP WORLD may consider the request for cancellation and refund, subject to applicable terms and any applicable deductions.
After Activation
Once a subscription has been activated, access credentials have been issued, or the service has been made available, subscription fees are generally non-refundable for the unused portion of the subscription period, except where required by applicable law or otherwise agreed in writing.
4. AUTO-RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Where a service automatically renews:
Customers may request cancellation before the next renewal date.
Cancellation of future renewal does not automatically entitle the customer to a refund for the current subscription period.
The service may remain active until the end of the already-paid subscription period unless otherwise stated.

Depending on the payment provider, bank or financial institution, the time taken for the amount to appear in the customer's account may vary.
Where applicable, refunds will be processed within the timeframe prescribed by applicable law or the relevant payment system.
The Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules require accepted consumer refunds to be effected within the applicable prescribed timeframe. Consumer Affairs

Customers are requested to contact 1 TAP WORLD before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback where there is a transaction-related issue.
We will make reasonable efforts to investigate and resolve legitimate payment disputes.
Unauthorised or fraudulent chargebacks may be contested using relevant transaction records.
This does not limit any rights available to consumers under applicable law.
21. TAXES
Where applicable, refunds will be handled in accordance with applicable tax and GST requirements.
Where a GST invoice has already been issued, any required tax adjustment or credit documentation may be processed in accordance with applicable law.

- Google services
- Hosting providers
- SMS providers

- Cloud platforms
- Other third-party technology
1 TAP WORLD is not responsible for refunds arising solely from a third-party service interruption where the relevant service is outside our control, subject to applicable law and the applicable commercial agreement.
23. SERVICE AVAILABILITY
Temporary technical interruptions, maintenance, internet failures, third-party outages or other events outside our reasonable control do not automatically create a right to a refund.
Where a significant service interruption occurs, we may, depending on the circumstances:
- Restore the service
- Extend the subscription
- Provide service credit
- Provide an alternative solution
- Provide a refund where appropriate
24. FRAUDULENT OR ABUSIVE REFUND REQUESTS

Where permitted by law, accounts involved in fraudulent or abusive activity may be suspended or terminated.

Nothing in this Refund & Cancellation Policy is intended to:
- Remove statutory consumer rights
- Exclude mandatory refunds
- Exclude remedies for defective goods or deficient services
- Override applicable law
Where applicable law provides a greater right to a customer than this Policy, the applicable law will prevail.
This is particularly important for transactions falling under India's consumer-protection and e-commerce framework. Consumer Affairs
