1. Minimum 50% advance required
No project or paid service will commence until Quick Count Tech has received the required payment.
Unless a specific quotation, package or invoice requires a greater amount or full payment, a minimum advance payment of 50% of the agreed project value is mandatory before commencement of work.
The remaining balance will be paid according to the applicable quotation, milestone schedule or before final delivery.
2. No production/development without client approval
Quick Count Tech will not proceed with the relevant production/development stage of a custom project until the customer has approved the applicable project direction.
For example:
Website Design & Development: approved wireframe, homepage concept, layout or design direction.
E-commerce: approved store design, customer journey or functionality scope.
Mobile Application: approved wireframes, UI/UX design or application flow.
Custom Software / SaaS / ERP / CRM / POS: approved requirements, modules, workflows, dashboard/UI or implementation plan.
UI/UX: approved user flow, wireframe or visual direction.
Logo / Branding: approved brief, concept or creative direction.
Graphic / Print / Packaging Design: approved brief, layout direction, dimensions or initial concept.
Social Media Creative Design: approved visual direction, content template or creative style.
Video / Animation: approved concept, script, storyboard or visual direction.
Content Writing / Content Creation: approved brief, subject, outline, keywords or tone.
Digital Marketing / Social Media Marketing: approved campaign strategy, creative direction, content calendar or campaign scope.
SEO: approved SEO scope, audit recommendations, target pages or keyword strategy.
PPC / Paid Advertising: approved advertising budget, targeting, keywords, campaign structure, copy or creatives.
AI / Automation / API Development: approved workflow, functional requirements and integration scope.
Data Analytics / BI: approved reports, metrics, dashboard requirements or wireframes.
IT / Cloud / Cybersecurity / Maintenance: approved technical scope or implementation plan.
For any other Quick Count Tech service, the corresponding proposal, brief, design, plan, scope or authorised project direction will serve as the approval point.
3. Cancellation before work begins
If the customer cancels the project before any billable work has begun, before resources have been materially committed and before non-recoverable third-party costs have been incurred, the amount received may be eligible for a refund.
Where applicable, non-recoverable:
- payment gateway charges;
- banking charges;
- currency conversion charges; or
- customer-authorised third-party expenses
may be deducted to the extent legally permitted.
4. 24-hour cancellation period after design/scope approval
Once the customer provides written approval of the applicable design, concept, scope, campaign plan or implementation direction and Quick Count Tech begins the corresponding work, a 24-hour cancellation period applies.
If a cancellation request is received within 24 hours of the recorded approval/commencement, the customer may be eligible for a refund of the unearned portion of the amount paid, after deduction of:
- work already completed;
- billable project time already used;
- resources already committed;
- approved milestone work;
- non-recoverable payment charges; and
- non-recoverable third-party expenses.
The refund is therefore based upon the amount of work that remains unperformed and is not automatically a full refund after work has commenced.
5. No change-of-mind refund after 24 hours
Once more than 24 hours have passed from the customer's written approval and commencement of the applicable production/development stage, amounts paid for that approved work become non-refundable for:
- change of mind;
- cancellation for convenience;
- change in customer business plans;
- decision to use another provider; or
- similar customer-initiated cancellation unrelated to a material failure by Quick Count Tech.
This restriction does not override rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Pakistani law, including applicable rights relating to materially faulty or undelivered services.
6. Partial project completion
If a project is cancelled at a point where part of the service has already been completed, the completed portion remains chargeable.
For example, where 60% of the agreed billable work has been completed, Quick Count Tech may retain or charge the amount attributable to that completed work together with any applicable non-recoverable approved costs.
Any eligible refund will relate only to the unearned/unperformed portion, subject to this policy and applicable law.
7. Approved milestones are chargeable
Where a project is divided into milestones, each milestone that has been:
- completed;
- delivered;
- accepted;
- approved; or
- otherwise substantially performed according to the agreed scope
is considered earned and is generally non-refundable.
A customer cannot ordinarily obtain a refund for an already accepted milestone merely because they later decide not to continue with subsequent stages.
Mandatory rights under applicable law remain unaffected.
8. Change of design after approval
Where the customer approves a design, concept or project direction and later requests a different:
- design;
- layout;
- workflow;
- concept;
- branding direction;
- functionality;
- feature set;
- campaign;
- content direction; or
- architecture,
work completed according to the original approval remains chargeable.
The new direction may be treated as a change request and may require additional payment.
9. Customer delay or inactivity
A customer delay does not automatically create a refund entitlement.
This includes delays relating to:
- content;
- credentials;
- approvals;
- project information;
- images;
- products;
- feedback;
- third-party accounts;
- milestone payments; or
- other customer dependencies.
Where prolonged customer inactivity affects scheduling, Quick Count Tech may place the project on hold or reschedule it.
Completed and committed work remains chargeable.
10. Non-refundable items and costs
Subject to applicable law, the following may be non-refundable after they have been purchased, incurred, delivered, used or committed for the customer:
- completed design work;
- completed development work;
- completed software modules;
- approved project milestones;
- completed content;
- completed marketing work;
- completed video or animation work;
- completed consultancy;
- completed SEO work;
- completed campaign setup;
- advertising spend;
- domain purchases;
- hosting or VPS costs;
- SSL certificates;
- premium themes;
- paid plugins;
- licences;
- stock assets;
- fonts or media licences;
- API charges;
- cloud charges;
- SMS/email charges;
- third-party platform charges;
- marketplace fees;
- payment processing costs that are not returned to Quick Count Tech; and
- other customer-authorised third-party expenditure.
11. Recurring and monthly services
For recurring services such as:
- Digital Marketing;
- SEO;
- Social Media Management;
- PPC Management;
- Website Maintenance;
- Technical Support;
- Cloud/Server Management;
- Content Services; or
- other monthly retainers,
fees relating to work already performed during the applicable service period are non-refundable.
Cancellation will generally prevent future service periods from commencing, subject to any notice period agreed in the applicable contract or package.
Advertising budget already spent by an advertising platform is not refundable by Quick Count Tech.
12. Failed payment — account debited but order not confirmed
If a customer's bank/card account is debited but the payment is not confirmed to Quick Count Tech, the customer should not immediately make repeated payments.
The customer should contact:
info@quickcounttech.com
and provide:
- invoice/order reference;
- amount;
- transaction reference;
- payment date; and
- reasonable evidence of the debit.
Quick Count Tech will review the transaction through its available banking/payment records.
If Quick Count Tech did not receive the funds, reversal or release of the transaction may depend upon the customer's bank, card issuer or payment provider.
If Quick Count Tech confirms receipt, the amount will be credited against the customer's invoice or order.
13. Duplicate payment
If Quick Count Tech receives the same payment twice because of a genuine duplicate transaction, the duplicate amount will be reviewed.
Once the duplicate transaction has been verified, the excess amount may be:
- returned to the original payment method where reasonably possible; or
- applied as customer credit where the customer agrees.
A genuine duplicate payment is not treated as an ordinary project cancellation.
14. Payment gateway and banking charges
Banks, acquiring institutions, payment gateways and card networks may impose transaction fees.
Where such a fee is not returned to Quick Count Tech when a transaction is refunded, the non-recoverable charge may be deducted from an otherwise approved refund to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The customer will not be charged an undisclosed Quick Count Tech cancellation fee unless it forms part of the agreed terms.
15. Refund request procedure
Refund and cancellation requests must be submitted to:
The request should contain:
- customer name;
- business name, where applicable;
- invoice or order number;
- service purchased;
- amount paid;
- payment date;
- transaction reference where available;
- reason for cancellation/refund; and
- relevant supporting information.
The date and time on which Quick Count Tech receives the written request will be used when determining whether the request falls within an applicable 24-hour cancellation period.
16. Review of refund request
After receiving a refund request, Quick Count Tech will review:
- payment records;
- project commencement date;
- customer approvals;
- completed work;
- project milestones;
- communications;
- resource allocation;
- third-party costs; and
- the reason for the request.
The customer may be asked for additional information if necessary.
17. Refund decision
Where a refund is approved, Quick Count Tech will communicate:
- whether the refund is full or partial;
- the approved refund amount;
- any lawful deductions;
- the refund method; and
- expected processing timeframe.
18. Refund processing timeframe
An approved refund will normally be initiated by Quick Count Tech within 7 to 14 business days after final approval of the refund request.
After Quick Count Tech initiates the refund, the time required for funds to appear in the customer's account may depend upon the:
- customer's bank;
- acquiring bank;
- card issuer;
- payment gateway; or
- payment network.
Quick Count Tech cannot control external banking settlement times.
19. Original payment method
Where reasonably possible, approved refunds will be returned through the original payment method.
This helps protect customers and prevents payment fraud.
Where return through the original method is technically unavailable, Quick Count Tech may request reasonable verification before using an alternative lawful refund method.
20. Official Quick Count Tech payment channels
For avoidance of doubt, Quick Count Tech accepts payment only through:
1. Official Quick Count Tech Invoice Link
or
2. Direct Quick Count Tech Business Bank Account
The receiving bank account must display the account title:
QUICK COUNT TECH
or
3. Official Quick Count Tech Website Checkout
through available:
Debit Card / Credit Card payment
21. No payments to individuals or other companies
Quick Count Tech never requests or accepts project payments in the personal name or personal account of an individual, employee, salesperson, freelancer or representative.
Quick Count Tech also does not request customers to make Quick Count Tech service payments to an unrelated company's account.
If payment instructions do not match one of the official methods described above, customers should not make the payment and should contact:
info@quickcounttech.com
for verification.
22. Chargebacks and payment disputes
Customers are requested to contact Quick Count Tech before initiating a chargeback so that legitimate payment or service issues can be investigated.
Where a chargeback or payment dispute is initiated, Quick Count Tech may submit appropriate records to the bank, gateway or card provider, including:
- invoice;
- payment confirmation;
- accepted quotation;
- client approval;
- project communications;
- project activity records;
- completed work;
- delivery records; and
- applicable policies.
This provision does not prevent a customer from exercising lawful rights available through their bank, payment provider or applicable law.
23. Defective or materially undelivered service
The 24-hour change-of-mind restriction does not permit Quick Count Tech to avoid obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.
If a customer alleges that an agreed service was materially defective or materially not delivered according to the agreed scope, they should contact:
info@quickcounttech.com
with details of the issue.
Quick Count Tech will review the matter and may, depending on the circumstances:
- correct the issue;
- complete outstanding contracted work;
- provide another reasonable remedy; or
- where appropriate, approve a full or partial refund.
24. Cancellation by Quick Count Tech
If Quick Count Tech cancels a project for reasons not caused by customer breach and is unable to deliver prepaid work, any unearned amount for work that will not be performed will be reviewed for refund.
Completed work and authorised third-party costs may still be accounted for where appropriate.
25. Customer statutory rights
Nothing in this Refund & Cancellation Policy is intended to:
- misrepresent customer rights;
- exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded;
- prevent a legitimate consumer complaint; or
- override mandatory Pakistani or Sindh consumer-protection requirements.
Where any provision conflicts with a mandatory provision of applicable law, the mandatory legal requirement will prevail.
