Return & Refund Policy

Updated 10 February 2026

1. Introduction

This Return & Refund Policy outlines the terms under which refunds, cancellations, or service discontinuations may be considered for the professional services offered by us. As our services are primarily professional, consultancy, and compliance-based, this policy reflects the nature of intangible, time-bound, and customized service delivery.

3. No Return Policy

As our offerings are services and not physical goods, there is no return policy applicable once the service has commenced or resources have been allocated.
