Our support response times are based on the plan tier active at the time of the request. All times refer to UK business hours (Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:30, excluding UK public holidays).
Response time means the time until a qualified team member acknowledges and begins investigating the issue. Resolution time will vary depending on complexity.
Monthly support plan fees are non-refundable once the billing period has commenced. If you cancel your plan, you will continue to receive services until the end of the current paid period. No partial-month refunds are issued.
Deposits paid to commence project work are non-refundable, as they secure resource allocation. If a project is cancelled after commencement, you will be invoiced for work completed to date at our standard hourly rate, up to the total agreed project value.
Where we have materially failed to deliver agreed deliverables, we will work with you to resolve the issue. Refunds for project work are considered on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.
