1. Overview
At IllumiDev, we are committed to customer satisfaction. This policy describes our refund procedures for the different types of services we offer.
2. Initial Deposits
Before work begins: Deposits are 100% refundable if you cancel before we start work.
After work begins: Deposits are non-refundable once work has started, as they cover planning time and allocated resources.
Exception: If we cannot start the project within the agreed timeline for reasons attributable to IllumiDev, we will offer a full refund of the deposit.
3. Projects in Progress
If you decide to cancel a project in progress:
• Completed work: You will pay for all work completed up to the cancellation date
• Materials: Any third-party materials or services costs incurred are non-refundable
• Notice: At least 7 days written notice is required
• Deliverables: You will receive all completed and paid deliverables
We will calculate completed work based on the milestones defined in the proposal.

• Payments are non-refundable
• We offer a 30-day bug-fix period
• Issues reported within this period are fixed at no additional charge
