- Discovery Phase Complete: 25% of project fee retained to cover diagnostic and analysis work performed
- Architecture Phase Complete: 50% of project fee retained for architectural design and specification work

- Post-Deployment: No refund available for completed and deployed work; support period adjustments may apply
3. Non-Delivery Compensation

Such refunds will be processed within fourteen (14) business days of the written refund request.
