Refund Policy

ODMS Retail Refund Policy: Commitment to Client Satisfaction

 

At ODMS Retail, we are dedicated to providing high-quality retail solutions and ensuring client satisfaction. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which refunds may be issued for our products and services. We aim to be transparent and fair in all our dealings, understanding that circumstances may arise where a refund is necessary.

1. General Refund Principles: Our Approach to Returns

This section establishes the overarching principles guiding our refund process, ensuring fairness and clarity for our clients.

 

• Service-Based Nature: It is important to note that many of ODMS Retail's offerings are service-based (e.g., software subscriptions, consulting, implementation fees). Refunds for these services are generally handled differently than for physical goods, reflecting the intellectual property and labor involved.

• Case-by-Case Evaluation: Due to the customized and integrated nature of our retail solutions, all refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We encourage open communication to address any concerns promptly.

• Adherence to Agreements: This policy works in conjunction with, and is superseded by, any specific refund or cancellation clauses detailed in your individual Service Agreement or Statement of Work. Always refer to your contractual agreement for the most precise terms.

2. Eligibility for Refunds: When a Refund May Be Granted

This section defines the criteria that must typically be met for a refund request to be considered.

 

• Software Subscriptions and Licenses:

  • Initial Purchase: For new software subscriptions or licenses, a full refund may be issued if the cancellation request is received within (10) days] of the initial purchase date, provided that the software has not been substantially used or deployed, and no significant implementation services have commenced.

  • Renewal: Refunds for renewal of software subscriptions are generally not provided, as clients have had prior opportunity to evaluate the service. Exceptions may be considered in extenuating circumstances at ODMS Retail's sole discretion.

  • Non-Performance: If our software solution demonstrably fails to perform substantially in accordance with its documented specifications and our support team is unable to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe after extensive troubleshooting, a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the service term may be considered.

• Consulting and Implementation Services:

  • Before Commencement: If consulting or implementation services are cancelled before the commencement of work, a refund of any pre-paid fees (excluding non-refundable deposits or planning costs, as specified in your agreement) may be issued.

  • During Service Delivery: Once services have commenced, refunds will typically be pro-rated based on the work already performed and resources allocated, as outlined in the project's Statement of Work. Any non-refundable milestones or completed deliverables will not be eligible for a refund.

• Physical Hardware and Products:

  • Defective or Damaged Upon Arrival: If physical hardware or products are determined to be defective or damaged upon arrival and reported within the timeframe specified in our Shipping Policy (e.g., 24 hours of receipt), a replacement will be provided. If a replacement is not feasible, a full refund for the item may be offered upon its return.

  • Unopened and Resalable Condition: For non-defective physical goods, a refund may be issued if the item is returned within fifteen (15) days of receipt, in its original, unopened packaging, and in a new, resalable condition. A restocking fee may apply, as detailed below.

3. Non-Refundable Items and Services: Specific Exclusions

Certain items and services are typically non-refundable due to their nature, resource allocation, or customization.

 

• Custom Development and Customizations: Fees for custom software development, unique integrations, or significant customizations tailored specifically for a client are generally non-refundable once the development work has commenced, as these represent bespoke intellectual property creation.

• Deposits: Initial project deposits, as specified in your service agreement, may be non-refundable as they cover initial planning, resource allocation, and project initiation costs.

• Third-Party Costs: Any fees paid to third parties on behalf of the client (e.g., third-party software licenses, external hardware procurement costs, expedited shipping fees) are non-refundable unless those third parties provide a refund to ODMS Retail.

• Training Services: Once training sessions (on-site or virtual) have been delivered or substantially scheduled, the fees for these services are typically non-refundable.

4. Refund Process: How to Request and What to Expect

This section details the steps involved in submitting a refund request and the typical timeline for processing.

 

• Submitting a Request: All refund requests must be submitted in writing to our support or accounts department via email at  email address: refunds@odmsl.com] or through our official online support portal. The request must include:

  • Your /company name and account number.

  • The specific service or product for which a refund is being requested.

  • The reason for the refund request.

  • Relevant dates (e.g., purchase date, service commencement date).

  • Any supporting documentation (e.g., proof of damage, communication logs).

• Review and Assessment: Upon receipt of your request, our team will review it thoroughly, cross-referencing it with your service agreement and this policy. We may contact you for additional information or clarification. This review process typically takes [ 5-10 business days].

• Refund Approval and Issuance:

  • If your refund request is approved, we will process the refund to the original method of payment (e.g., credit card, bank transfer) within 10-15 business days of approval.

  • Please be aware that it may take additional time for the refund to appear on your statement, depending on your bank or payment provider's processing times.

  • If the original payment method is no longer available, we will work with you to arrange an alternative, secure refund method.

• Denial of Request: If a refund request is denied, we will provide a clear explanation for the decision, referencing the relevant terms of this policy or your service agreement.

5. Restocking Fees and Other Charges: Applicable Deductions

This section outlines any fees that may be deducted from a refund.

 

• Restocking Fees: For returned physical hardware or products that are not defective but are no longer in their original, sealed packaging or require significant re-packaging, a restocking fee of 20-25% of the item's purchase price may be applied. This covers inspection, testing, and administrative costs.

• Shipping Costs: Original shipping costs are generally non-refundable. If an item is returned for reasons other than confirmed defect or damage, the client may also be responsible for the return shipping costs.

• Administrative Fees: In certain circumstances, for complex refund processing or cancellations that require significant administrative effort not covered by other fees, a nominal administrative fee may be applied, explicitly stated in your service agreement.

6. Changes to This Refund Policy: Staying Updated

This section explains how this policy may be updated.

 

• Right to Modify: ODMS Retail reserves the exclusive right to update, modify, or revise this Refund Policy at any time. This flexibility is essential to adapt to changes in our service offerings, business practices, or regulatory requirements.
