Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last Updated: August 24, 2026 • Version 2.0
1. Policy Scope & Overview
This Refund and Cancellation Policy outlines the conditions under which Softrover Inc. / Turtle processes payments, subscription cancellations, and refund requests for software licenses and platform services provided to registered merchants.
We aim to be completely transparent with our pricing, offering free starter tiers so merchants can explore storefront capabilities before upgrading to paid plans.
2. SaaS Subscription Billing
Turtle software services (including custom domains, pro themes, advanced inventory counters, and premium WhatsApp webhook routing) are billed in advance on a recurring monthly or annual basis.
- Standard Policy: Paid subscription fees are non-refundable once the billing cycle begins. We do not provide prorated refunds for mid-cycle cancellations or unused bandwidth.
- Billing Receipts: Official invoices and tax receipts are automatically generated and available inside your Merchant Dashboard under Billing & Plans.
3. How to Cancel Your Plan
You may cancel your paid subscription at any time without penalty or cancellation fees:
- Sign in to your Merchant Dashboard.
- Navigate to Store Settings → Subscription & Plan.
- Click "Cancel Subscription".
Upon cancellation, you will retain full access to all paid features until the conclusion of your current paid billing period. After this date, your store will seamlessly transition back to the standard free tier without losing your catalog or order records.
4. Qualifying Refund Exceptions
While subscription payments are generally non-refundable, our billing review desk evaluates refund requests under specific qualifying circumstances:
Duplicate or Erroneous Charges
If an automated gateway bug results in multiple charges for a single billing cycle, excess payments will be refunded in full immediately.
72-Hour Unused Grace Period
If you upgraded to an annual plan by mistake and have not published products or used premium features, you may request a cancellation within 72 hours of transaction.
5. Product Refunds Between Merchants & Shoppers
Important Notice for End-Customers (Shoppers)
Turtle provides the technology platform that allows independent merchants to create online shops. Turtle does not manufacture, warehouse, package, ship, or collect payment directly for the physical goods sold by individual merchant stores.
If you are a customer who purchased an item from a merchant's store (via WhatsApp or Cash on Delivery) and wish to request a refund, exchange, or return:
- Please contact the merchant directly using the WhatsApp link or contact phone number listed on their storefront.
- Each merchant maintains their own independent return policies, shipping guarantees, and exchange criteria.
6. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes
We encourage merchants to contact our support team directly before initiating formal credit card chargebacks. Unwarranted chargebacks or fraudulent dispute claims may result in immediate store suspension and restriction of administrative access.
7. How to Submit a Refund Request
To request a billing review for a qualifying SaaS subscription fee:
- Email our billing desk at billing@Turtle.softrover.tech.
- Include your Store Name, Registered Email, and the Transaction Reference ID.
- Provide a brief explanation of the billing discrepancy or refund reason.
Our team reviews all requests within 2 business days. Approved refunds are credited back to the original payment source within 5–10 banking days.
