Cancellation & Refund Policy
Effective 22 August 2026
This policy applies to paid services purchased through StartupMap India โ Featured Listing and ad slot bookings โ operated by Varak Welfare Society. Standard listings are free and not covered by this policy.
1. Cancellation before delivery
You may request cancellation before a purchased service has been delivered or activated (e.g. before an ad slot is confirmed, or before a Featured upgrade is applied). Email manishsinghdewas@gmail.com with your name, registered email, transaction/order ID, and reason for cancellation.
2. Refund eligibility
Refunds may be considered where:
- Payment succeeded but the service could not be delivered due to an issue on our end
- A paid ad slot booking is rejected by us before it goes live
- You were charged incorrectly or more than once for the same service
3. Non-refundable situations
Refunds are generally not available where:
- The service has already been delivered (e.g. Featured placement already applied, ad slot already live) for any part of its paid duration
- Incorrect information you provided prevented delivery
- The purchase violates our Terms & Conditions
4. Duplicate payments
If you accidentally pay twice for the same service, contact us with the transaction details โ verified duplicate payments are refunded.
5. Refund processing
Once approved, refunds are initiated through Razorpay, our payment service provider. The time for the amount to appear in your account depends on your bank, card issuer, or UPI app, and is outside our control.
6. Payment gateway
Payments are processed by Razorpay. Razorpay does not independently decide whether a refund is issued โ refund requests concerning a service purchased on StartupMap India should be directed to us, not Razorpay.
