Refunds & Returns Policy
Effective: October 1, 2025 • KavaCore LLC, Grover Street, Joliet, IL 60433 • Support@kavacorellc.com
We build long-term partnerships through clear expectations. This policy explains how refunds, credits, and returns work for our services today and our future e-commerce offerings.
This page summarizes our standard approach. If your signed MSA/SOW or order form states otherwise, the signed document controls.
1) Services (Websites, Custom Software, AI Integrations, SEO/Digital Marketing, BPO/Support)
1.1 Discovery / Deposit
- Deposits secure team capacity and are non-refundable once work starts.
- If you cancel before work begins, deposits are refundable minus any third-party costs pre-paid on your behalf.
1.2 Fixed-Fee Projects
- Refunds are based on percent of scope delivered at the time of cancellation.
- Work already delivered/accepted is non-refundable; we will pro-rate any unused portion of clearly defined deliverables.
1.3 Time & Materials / Retainers
- T&M: fees for hours/services already rendered are non-refundable.
- Retainers: cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice; unused full months after the notice window are refunded or not billed.
1.4 SEO/Digital Marketing
- Performance outcomes (rankings/leads) cannot be guaranteed; refunds apply only to undelivered scoped work.
- We’ll correct implementation issues discovered within the warranty window in your SOW.
1.5 BPO/AI Calling & Support
- Usage-based fees (minutes, messages) already consumed are non-refundable.
- Quality issues validated against the SOW/SLA may receive service credits on the next invoice (credits, not cash refunds).
1.6 Training & Education
- Cancel ≥ 7 days before the session: full refund.
- Cancel < 7 days: 50% refund or one free reschedule (subject to availability).
- No-shows: non-refundable; we’ll share materials and offer a paid make-up slot.
Note: Clients own the final code/deliverables upon full payment. Refunds never revoke rights already granted; support may be terminated per the MSA/SOW.
2) Defects & Warranty Remedies
If a delivered item does not meet the acceptance criteria in your SOW within the stated warranty window, we will remediate at no cost. If remediation is not feasible, we may offer a reasonable partial refund or credit aligned to the affected deliverable’s value.
3) Third-Party Fees & Licenses
Domain names, hosting, SMS/call carrier fees, software licenses, and other third-party charges are paid or committed on your behalf and are generally non-refundable once purchased/activated.
4) Future E-commerce (IT Equipment)
When our store launches, the following will apply unless your order states otherwise:
- 30-day returns for unopened items in original packaging; buyer pays return shipping.
- Opened items within 14 days may be accepted with a 15% restocking fee if complete and like-new.
- DOA/Defective within 7 days: replacement or refund after inspection; after 7 days, manufacturer warranty applies.
- Non-returnable: software licenses, downloadable items, consumables, and custom-configured hardware.
- All returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization).
5) How to request a refund/return
- Email Support@kavacorellc.com with your organization name, invoice/PO, and a brief description.
- We acknowledge within 24 hours and may request supporting details (e.g., issue logs, screenshots, call IDs).
- For physical returns (when live), we’ll issue an RMA with instructions and the return address.

6) Refund method & timing
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method when possible.
- Once approved, allow 5–10 business days for your bank/card processor to post the credit.
7) Disputes & chargebacks
Please contact us before initiating a chargeback so we can resolve quickly. If a chargeback is filed, we may suspend work until it’s resolved.
8) Legal & regional notes
This policy applies to business customers in the U.S. and Canada and does not limit any non-waivable consumer rights under applicable law. Illinois law governs unless your signed contract states otherwise.
9) Updates to this policy
We may update this page as our offerings expand (e.g., e-commerce launch). Material changes will be reflected with a new effective date.
