Refund & Cancellation Policy | PROP ARCHITECT

Refund & Cancellation Policy

This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains the terms under which refunds, cancellations, adjustments, or service credits may be considered for payments made to PROP ARCHITECT for consultation, design, estimation, BOQ, construction coordination and related professional services.

  • Effective Date: 01/04/2025
  • Last Updated: 05/07/2026
1. Introduction

At PROP ARCHITECT, we are committed to delivering professional and transparent services for residential construction, villa construction, design coordination, estimation, BOQ preparation, consultation and turnkey project support.

Since most of our services are customised, project-specific, knowledge-based and time-based, refunds are handled differently from standard physical product purchases.

By making a payment to PROP ARCHITECT, booking a consultation, approving a proposal, or engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to this Refund & Cancellation Policy.

2. Business Information
3. Nature of Our Services

PROP ARCHITECT provides customised professional services, which may include:

  • Residential construction consultation and turnkey construction coordination.
  • Architectural design coordination and concept planning.
  • BOQ preparation, quantity estimation and construction cost estimation.
  • Site visit, site evaluation and project feasibility discussion.
  • Interior design, landscape coordination and 3D visualisation, only where specifically included in the agreed scope.
  • Project planning, vendor coordination, contractor coordination and execution support.

These services are customised for each client’s site, drawings, requirements, budget, specifications and project stage. Therefore, refund eligibility depends on the stage of work completed, time spent, resources allocated and deliverables initiated or shared.

4. Refund Eligibility

Refunds may be considered only in the following situations, subject to verification and approval by PROP ARCHITECT:

4.1 Duplicate Payment

If a payment is made more than once due to a technical error, payment gateway issue, UPI/bank error, or accidental duplicate transaction, the excess amount will be refunded after verification.

4.2 Service Not Initiated

If the client requests cancellation in writing within 48 hours of payment and the service has not yet been initiated, a partial refund may be considered after deducting administrative charges, payment gateway charges, consultation scheduling cost and any work already performed.

4.3 Non-Delivery Due to Internal Error

If PROP ARCHITECT is unable to initiate the agreed service due to internal reasons and no work has been started, a full or partial refund may be considered depending on the facts of the case.

4.4 Wrong Payment Amount

If the client has paid an amount higher than the invoice, quotation, or agreed payment stage by mistake, the excess amount may be adjusted against future invoices or refunded after verification.
