Refund and Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: 2026

REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY

Version 1.0 – 2026

This Refund & Cancellation Policy (“Policy”) governs payments, refunds, cancellations, subscription discontinuation, and related financial matters for all services offered by Ainan, operating under Ainan Signage Network.

By making any payment to Ainan, User acknowledges that this Policy has been read, understood, and accepted.


1. POLICY SCOPE

This Policy applies to all paid products, subscriptions, services, onboarding fees, demo plans, franchise fees, digital resources, AI subscriptions, training access, and other paid services offered by Ainan.

This Policy does not automatically apply to physical raw material returns or replacements unless separately stated.

Physical goods may be governed by a separate Returns, Replacements & Warranty Policy.


2. GENERAL REFUND PRINCIPLE

Unless explicitly stated otherwise:

All payments made to Ainan are generally non-refundable.

This applies to both:

  • one-time payments
  • recurring payments
  • onboarding fees
  • digital subscriptions
  • service activation fees
  • access-based products

This policy exists because many Ainan services involve:

  • instant digital activation
  • immediate resource allocation
  • AI consumption
  • onboarding effort
  • internal system usage

which cannot reasonably be reversed once activated.


3. DIGITAL PRODUCTS & SERVICES

The following digital products and services are generally non-refundable after activation:

  • AuroxAI subscriptions
  • Demo access
  • Franchise onboarding
  • Premium training access
  • Dashboard access
  • AI-based services
  • Consultation services
  • Internal system access
  • Educational resources
  • Premium content subscriptions

3.1 Activation Rule

For the purpose of this Policy, a product or service shall be considered “activated” when any of the following occurs:

  • account access is granted
  • dashboard access is enabled
  • AI access begins
  • training access is opened
  • subscription starts
  • credentials are issued
  • internal systems are made available

Once activated, refund eligibility may be severely restricted or unavailable.


4. DEMO PLAN REFUNDS

Demo plans are intended as limited-time evaluation products.

Demo fees are generally non-refundable.

4.1 Demo Access Logic

Demo fees cover:

  • temporary system exposure
  • temporary AI access
  • internal onboarding resources
  • evaluation support
  • limited premium content

These resources involve immediate allocation.

Therefore: dissatisfaction alone does not qualify for refund.

4.2 No Lead Guarantee in Demo

Users acknowledge that demo plans do not guarantee:

  • leads
  • conversions
  • franchise approval
  • business results

Absence of leads during demo shall not create refund eligibility.


5. AUROXAI SUBSCRIPTION REFUNDS

AuroxAI subscriptions are digital access products.

Once subscription access is activated, payments are generally non-refundable.

5.1 AI Usage Consumption

AI systems involve usage-based operational costs including:

  • tokens
  • API costs
  • server resources
  • infrastructure costs
  • technical overhead

Such consumption begins immediately after activation.

Accordingly: Refund requests based on usage dissatisfaction may be denied.

5.2 Partial Usage

Partial usage does not create automatic refund rights.

Examples:

  • low usage
  • change of mind
  • accidental inactivity
  • lack of time
  • business slowdown

shall not automatically qualify for refund.


6. FRANCHISE FEES

Franchise fees are generally non-refundable once:

  • onboarding begins
  • access is granted
  • internal systems are opened
  • resources are allocated
  • territory work starts

6.1 Franchise Resource Allocation

Franchise onboarding may involve:

  • internal review
  • support allocation
  • system setup
  • AI access allocation
  • operational preparation
  • territory planning

Such internal work creates immediate business cost.

Therefore refund rights remain limited.

6.2 No Business Guarantee

Refund claims based solely on:

  • slow sales
  • low conversion
  • business difficulty
  • market slowdown
  • personal inability

shall not automatically qualify for refund.


7. SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION

Users may request cancellation of recurring subscriptions subject to plan terms.

Cancellation generally affects future billing only.

7.1 Effect of Cancellation

Upon cancellation:

  • future renewals may stop
  • active period may continue until expiry
  • premium access may continue until billing cycle ends

Cancellation does not automatically create refund rights for the current active billing period.

7.2 Mid-Cycle Cancellation

If User cancels in the middle of an active billing cycle:

no pro-rated refund shall generally apply

unless otherwise required under applicable law.


8. EXCEPTIONAL REFUND CASES

Despite the general non-refundable nature of Ainan services, limited exceptions may be considered in rare circumstances.

Refund approval, if any, remains subject to internal review and supporting evidence.

8.1 Potential Refund Eligibility

Refund may be considered in situations including:

  • duplicate payment
  • accidental double charge
  • confirmed payment system error
  • failed activation due to verified Ainan-side technical failure
  • incorrect billing caused solely by Ainan

Refund eligibility shall be determined case-by-case.

8.2 Refund Approval Discretion

Except where required under applicable law, refund approval remains at the sole discretion of Ainan.

Refund decisions may consider:

  • service usage status
  • activation status
  • AI usage consumption
  • resource allocation
  • internal operational costs
  • misuse risk
  • payment history
  • evidence submitted by User

Submission of a refund request does not guarantee approval.


9. NON-REFUNDABLE SCENARIOS

Refund shall generally not be provided for situations including but not limited to:

  • change of mind
  • dissatisfaction without service failure
  • low usage
  • failure to use purchased service
  • lack of technical understanding
  • business slowdown
  • poor sales
  • poor lead conversion
  • personal financial difficulty
  • account inactivity
  • inability to achieve expected results

These situations do not constitute service failure by Ainan.


10. REFUND REQUEST PROCESS

Eligible refund requests must be submitted through official communication channels.

Users may be required to provide:

  • registered name
  • payment proof
  • transaction ID
  • invoice details
  • refund reason
  • supporting evidence

Incomplete requests may be delayed or rejected.

10.1 Investigation Rights

Ainan reserves the right to investigate refund requests for:

  • fraud detection
  • payment verification
  • misuse detection
  • service usage validation
  • chargeback abuse

False claims may result in account action.


11. REFUND TIMELINE

If a refund is approved, processing time may vary depending on payment infrastructure and financial institutions.

Typical processing may take: 7 to 30 business days depending on:

  • payment method
  • bank processing
  • gateway settlement
  • regulatory delays

Ainan shall not be liable for banking delays outside reasonable control.


12. CHARGEBACK POLICY

Users agree not to initiate fraudulent or abusive payment disputes after receiving service access.

12.1 Chargeback Abuse

Chargeback abuse includes:

  • false non-delivery claims
  • false unauthorized payment claims
  • intentional reversal after service usage

12.2 Consequences of Chargeback Abuse

Ainan may take action including:

  • account suspension
  • permanent blocking
  • service termination
  • legal recovery action
  • blacklisting
  • denial of future services

Ainan reserves all legal remedies for fraudulent chargeback attempts.


13. CANCELLATION BY AINAN

This may occur due to:

  • policy violation
  • misuse
  • fraud
  • security concerns
  • operational changes
  • legal requirements
  • service discontinuation

13.1 Refund in Ainan-Initiated Cancellation

  • full refund
  • partial refund

depending on circumstances.

  • operational requirements
  • risk management
