When Do You Qualify For Refunds? When you file a complaint to IS, we first try to provide an ideal solution to the issue you are facing. Your case is first introduced to the technical team and then reported further to the experts’ panel. Refund is only made in extreme circumstances when nothing good [with your approval] can be done to solve the issue.

* You have presented all the proofs and evidence surfacing your refund claim
* The claim does not arise from any billing dispute coming from your bank or payment vendor
*Important Note: If any of the points mentioned above are found violated, your claim will be considered void. The decision on refunds is final and irrevocable
How The Refund Takes Place?
1. Pre-Refund
* Refund query is processed, analyzed, and checked for veracity* Match the query with the agreeable parameters and valid reference points
* Arrange for refunds in permissible situations and settle wholly or partly, as the case may be
2. Post-Refund
