Cancellation and Refund Policy
Effective date: 5 August 2026
StartupAPI sells prepaid digital service credits. Because credits are delivered digitally and consumed as usage, refunds are limited to the cases below. This policy is subject to applicable law.
Refunds may be considered for
- Duplicate payment — you were charged more than once for the same order.
- Payment succeeded but credits were not delivered — money was captured but the prepaid service credits were not added to your account.
- Confirmed incorrect billing — a verified billing or pricing error on our side.
- Verified unauthorised payment — a payment you did not authorise, once verified.
- Service we cannot provide — a service StartupAPI is unable to deliver.
Normally non-refundable
- Credits already consumed through usage.
- Usage or loss caused by misuse or leaked/compromised customer API keys.
- Change of mind after digital credits have been delivered, subject to applicable law.
- Balances on accounts suspended or terminated for abuse or policy violations.
How to request a refund
- Email support@startupapi.io, preferably within 7 days of the payment.
- Include the required details: registered email, payment/order reference, amount, and date, plus a short description of the issue.
How refunds are processed
- Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method.
- Processing time is controlled partly by Razorpay and your bank, and may take several business days after approval.
- StartupAPI does not use recurring or subscription billing unless it is explicitly introduced and disclosed. Credits are one-time prepaid purchases.
