Important Notice
All payments made to Creative Hustlers are non-refundable. Please review this policy carefully before making any payment.
1. Overview
This Refund and Cancellation Policy outlines the terms governing project cancellations, refunds, and payment disputes for all services provided by Creative Hustlers.
All Web Design, Web Development, Mobile Application Development, Software Development, AI Solutions, Search Engine Optimization, Digital Marketing, Hosting Services, and Website Maintenance are carried out after thorough analysis and creation of a complete scope document.
This ensures our teams have full understanding of the work needed, minimizing possibilities of project cancellation, reversal, or dispute.
2. Non-Refundable Policy
All payments made to Creative Hustlers are non-refundable.
Since there is work involved to achieve every milestone and completion of every module, a refund is not possible for work once assigned to us.
Payments for custom design projects and all digital services made in increments are non-refundable. This includes:
- Initial deposits and advance payments
- Milestone payments for completed phases
- Monthly retainer fees
- Hosting and maintenance fees

5.1 Important Notice
Requesting a chargeback for a valid charge is considered fraud and is never an appropriate or legal means of obtaining a refund.
