Refund Policy

Effective Date: 11/05/2025

Important: This Refund Policy governs refunds, cancellations, and payment-disputes for services purchased on or via the Platform. By making a payment on the Platform, you agree to this Policy.

1. Policy Overview

This Refund Policy ("Policy") governs refunds, cancellations, and payment-disputes for services purchased on or via the Platform — including subscription fees by Viewers and campaign/advertising payments by Advertisers/Businesses. By making a payment on the Platform (by card, mobile money, or any other accepted method), you agree to this Policy.

We strive to provide clarity and fairness in how we handle refund requests, but we also face real costs and obligations once services are delivered (or access is granted). Accordingly, refunds may be granted, partially granted, or denied in certain situations as described below.

2. Scope & Who This Policy Applies To

This Policy applies to:

  • Viewers (Subscribers): Users who pay a subscription or access fee to view content or ads on the Platform, and/or to earn money by viewing content.
  • Advertisers / Businesses / Creators: Users or entities who pay for campaign services, advertising, promotion, content-hosting, or other services facilitated by the Platform.
  • Payments covered include any method accepted by the Platform (e.g., credit/debit card, mobile-money, or other payment processors).

3. Refund Eligibility & Conditions

Refunds may be considered (in whole or in part) under the following circumstances:

3.1 Payment / Billing Errors

If you were incorrectly charged (e.g., duplicate charge, amount greater than what was specified, or processing error), you may request a refund.

3.2 Service Non-Provision or Material Failure

For Viewers: If subscription access or content delivery fails due to our fault (e.g. technical malfunction, platform downtime, failure to grant access after payment), and the issue cannot be resolved within a reasonable time after you report it.

For Advertisers/Businesses: If we fail to deliver the agreed services (e.g. campaign not launched, content not published, or services materially different from what was agreed) and you notify us before or immediately after expected delivery, giving us a reasonable opportunity to remedy.

3.3 Fraudulent or Unauthorized Transactions

If you did not authorize a payment (e.g., payment made by mistake, stolen card, unauthorized mobile-money transfer), and you report it promptly.

3.4 Duplicate Payments / Overpayment

If you made more than one payment for the same service or subscription, upon verification we may refund the extra amount.

Note: Refunds requested under these conditions are not automatic — each request will be reviewed individually.

4. Non-Refundable Situations & Exclusions

Refunds will generally not be granted in the following cases:

  • Change of Mind / Voluntary Cancellation After Service Activation — If you simply change your mind, decide you do not wish to use the service, or cancel after receiving access to content or campaign services.
  • Partial Use of Service — If you have already used the subscription or consumed content (e.g., viewed videos or ads), or the campaign has already begun, you are not eligible for a refund for the portion already used.
  • Service Interruptions Outside Our Control — Interruptions caused by your own devices, network/internet issues, or force majeure events (e.g., power outages, mobile-money network downtime, card-network issues) are not eligible for refund.
  • Request Outside Refund Window — Refund requests made after the time limits specified below (Section 6) will be denied.
  • Abuse or Fraudulent Behavior — If we suspect your refund request is fraudulent or abusive (e.g., multiple repeated requests without justification), we may reject the request.
  • Fees Already Paid to Third-Parties — If part of the payment was forwarded to third-party services (e.g. payment processors, campaign ad-platforms), and those funds have been spent / committed, those amounts are non-refundable.

5. Refund Timeframes & Deadlines

  • For billing errors, unauthorized transaction claims, duplicate payments — you must notify us within 7 calendar days of the transaction.
  • For service non-provision or material failure claims — you must notify us within 14 calendar days of the date on which the service was supposed to be delivered (or from when you discovered the failure).
  • Other requests outside these windows will generally be considered ineligible, except at our discretion.

6. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, please follow these steps:

  1. Contact us at support@viralledge.com with subject line: "Refund Request".
  2. Include required information:
    • Your account email / username
    • Transaction / invoice number / payment reference
    • Payment method (card, mobile-money, etc.)
    • Date of payment / subscription / service
    • Description of reason for refund (billing error, non-delivery, unauthorized charge, etc.)
    • Any supporting documentation or evidence (e.g. screenshots, bank/mobile-money statements, error messages)
  3. Wait for Review — we will acknowledge receipt within 3 business days and may ask follow-up questions.
  4. Decision — we will evaluate whether your request meets the eligibility criteria. We may approve, partially approve, offer alternative remedy (e.g. service credit), or deny.
  5. Refund Processing — If approved, we will process the refund to the original payment method (card or mobile money).

7. Refund Methods & Processing Time

  • Refunds will be credited to the same payment method used for the original payment (e.g., the same card or mobile-money number).
  • The processing time depends on the payment provider: in many cases, refunds will be initiated within 5 business days of approval. The actual time until funds appear in your account depends on your bank or mobile-money operator.
  • If the original payment method is no longer available (e.g., card expired), we may offer alternative refund methods, such as mobile-money transfer — at our discretion.

8. Partial Refunds, Credits & Alternative Remedies

In some cases, rather than a full refund, we may offer:

  • Service Credit or Platform Credit — credit to your account for future subscription or campaign use.
  • Partial Refund — refund of a portion of the payment, proportional to the undelivered or defective part of the service.
  • Service Extension — extension of subscription period or additional content provision, in lieu of monetary refund, if mutually agreed.

Such alternatives will be offered at our sole discretion and with explicit communication before execution.

9. Responsibilities of Viewers, Advertisers, and Users

  • You must report issues promptly — delays in reporting may reduce or void refund eligibility.
  • You must provide accurate and complete information when requesting refund.
  • You must use refund process only for legitimate cases. Abuse or repeated unjustified refund requests may lead to account suspension or denial of future refund requests.
  • You remain responsible for any fees or charges from payment processors (e.g., bank fees, transfer fees) — ADBOOST DIGITAL SERVICES is not liable for fees charged by banks or mobile-money operators.

10. Modifications to the Refund Policy

We reserve the right to modify or update this Refund Policy at any time. When we do so, we will publish the updated version on the Platform with a revised "Effective Date." Any refund request will be governed by the version of the Policy in effect on the date of your original payment.

11. Contact Information

12. Dispute Resolution

Should there be a dispute regarding a refund request, and you and we are unable to resolve it informally, both parties may agree to resolve the dispute by mutual negotiation or — if necessary — via appropriate legal or regulatory means under the laws of Uganda (or other jurisdictions as agreed).
