Refund policy

Refund policy

Last Updated: December 30, 2025
Effective Date: December 30, 2025

1. General Policy Statement

Due to the nature of our service as a digital content platform with instant access upon payment confirmation, Infoterra LLP maintains a strict no-refund policy for all subscription purchases on GraphFolio.

All sales are final. Once your subscription is activated and you gain access to the purchased analytical report, refunds are not provided.

This policy is necessary because our service delivers immediate value through instant access to proprietary data, analytical reports, and interactive dashboards. Unlike physical products that can be returned, digital content cannot be "returned" once accessed.

2. Rationale for No-Refund Policy

2.1 Instant Digital Delivery

Our subscriptions provide immediate access to valuable market data and analytical reports upon payment confirmation. Once activated, you can:

  • View and interact with comprehensive dashboards
  • Download datasets and PDF reports
  • Access proprietary analytical content

Because this content is immediately accessible and cannot be "un-viewed" or returned, standard refund policies applicable to physical goods do not apply.

2.2 Nature of Digital Content

The intellectual property and proprietary data we provide represent significant research, analysis, and expertise. Once accessed, the value has been delivered, making refunds impractical and unfair to the content creators.

2.3 Payment Confirmation Before Activation

No subscription is activated until payment is confirmed. This ensures you are never charged for a subscription you have not yet received access to. Activation only occurs after successful payment processing through our payment processor, 2Checkout (Verifone).

3. Exceptions to the No-Refund Policy

While our general policy is no refunds, we may, at our sole discretion, consider refund requests in the following exceptional circumstances within 7 days of purchase:

3.1 Technical Issues Preventing Access

If you experience persistent technical problems that prevent you from accessing your purchased report, and these issues:

  • Are caused by our platform (not your device or internet connection)
  • Cannot be resolved by our technical support team
  • Prevent you from accessing the content you paid for

What to provide: Detailed description of the technical issue, screenshots or error messages, steps you've taken to resolve it, confirmation you've contacted our support team.

3.2 Duplicate Charges or Processing Errors

If you were accidentally charged multiple times for the same subscription due to a payment processing error, we will refund the duplicate charge(s).

What to provide: Transaction IDs for all charges, proof of duplicate billing, bank statement showing multiple charges.

3.3 Unauthorized Transactions

If you did not authorize the purchase and believe your payment method was used fraudulently, we will investigate and may issue a refund if fraud is confirmed.

What to provide: Explanation of why the transaction was unauthorized, any relevant documentation, confirmation that you've secured your account and payment method.

3.4 Evaluation Process

All exception requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion. Meeting the criteria above does not guarantee a refund. We reserve the right to request additional information or documentation before making a decision.

4. Non-Refundable Situations

Refunds will NOT be provided in the following circumstances:

4.1 Account Termination Due to Violations

If your account is suspended or terminated due to violations of our Terms of Service, including but not limited to:

  • Unauthorized sharing beyond your license tier
  • Reselling or commercializing our data
  • Fraudulent activity
  • Intellectual property infringement
  • Any other policy violations

You are not eligible for a refund for any unused portion of your subscription.

4.2 Change of Mind

We do not provide refunds if you:

  • Simply change your mind after purchasing
  • Decide you no longer need the report
  • Find the content is not what you expected (we provide detailed descriptions before purchase)
  • Cannot complete your intended use of the data

We encourage you to carefully review report descriptions and ensure the content meets your needs before purchasing.

4.3 Partial Subscription Periods

We do not provide pro-rated refunds for unused portions of your subscription if you:

  • Stop using the service before the 12-month period ends
  • Delete your account during an active subscription
  • Decide to discontinue use for any reason

Your subscription remains valid for the full 12-month period regardless of actual usage.

4.4 Content Updates or Changes

We do not provide refunds if:

  • Report content is updated during your subscription period
  • Features are modified or removed
  • The update frequency does not meet your expectations

As stated in our Terms of Service, we reserve the right to update content without notice or price adjustment.

4.5 Force Majeure or Service Interruptions

We do not provide refunds for temporary service interruptions, technical difficulties beyond our control, or force majeure events (natural disasters, war, government actions, etc.).
