Signaltor is committed to delivering services that meet the specifications outlined in our service agreements. Refunds are evaluated based on the completion status of project milestones and the terms defined in individual service contracts.

Service delivery follows a milestone-based progression. Refund eligibility is determined by the completion status of defined project phases:

  • 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
  • Build Phase In Progress: Refund evaluated based on percentage of deliverables completed vs. remaining
  • Post-Deployment: No refund available for completed and deployed work; support period adjustments may apply

3. Non-Delivery Compensation

In the event that Signaltor fails to deliver contracted services due to circumstances within our control, you are entitled to a proportionate refund calculated based on the percentage of services not rendered. Such refunds will be processed within fourteen (14) business days of the written refund request.

4. Request Procedure

Refund requests must be submitted in writing to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request - [Project Reference]". Requests must include the original service agreement reference number and a description of the grounds for refund. We will acknowledge receipt within two (2) business days and provide a resolution within ten (10) business days.
