Refund Policy
Based Tech Syndicate d/b/a Viduli Last Updated: April 1, 2025
Viduli offers flexible billing models to support developers and businesses of all sizes. This Refund Policy explains how we handle payments and refunds across subscription plans, pre-allocated resources, and usage-based consumption.
By using Viduli's services, you agree to this Refund Policy as part of our Terms of Service.
1. General Policy
All payments made to Viduli are non-refundable, except in the specific circumstances outlined below or as required by applicable law.
Due to the nature of real-time cloud infrastructure provisioning, refunds are not issued for:
-
Partial usage within a billing period;
-
Unused resources from pre-allocated plans;
-
Accidental deployments or misconfigurations by users;
-
Failure to cancel services before renewal.
2. Billing Models
2.1 Subscription-Based Plans
Some Viduli services maybe available through flat-rate monthly or annual subscriptions (e.g., base tiers of Fleet, Orbit, Surge, etc.).
-
Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled before the end of the current billing cycle.
-
You may cancel at any time through the dashboard. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing cycle.
-
No refunds will be issued for unused time or early cancellation unless required by law.
2.2 Allocated Resource Billing
You may choose to pre-allocate specific amounts of compute (CPU), memory, storage, or bandwidth for your workloads.
-
Charges are incurred once the allocation is provisioned, regardless of actual usage.
-
Allocation fees are non-refundable even if resources are underutilized or unused.
-
You are responsible for modifying or removing allocations to avoid ongoing charges.
2.3 Usage-Based Billing
Viduli bills on actual consumption of CPU, memory, storage, and data transfer when you use pay-as-you-go services.
Refunds will not be issued for valid resource usage under your account. However, we may offer a credit or refund in the following cases:
-
Platform-side errors or outages that result in unexpected or excessive usage;
-
Duplicate or erroneous charges caused by billing system issues;
-
Unauthorized activity not caused by your actions or credentials (requires investigation and proof).
If you believe you've been incorrectly billed, email [email protected] within 7 days of the invoice date. Include relevant logs or workload IDs to help us verify the issue.
3. Trial Periods and Promotions
-
Free trials or promo credits may be offered to new users.
-
Trials may have fixed duration or usage caps.
-
Trial periods convert to paid plans automatically unless canceled before the trial ends.
-
Promotional credits are non-refundable, non-transferable, and may not be exchanged for cash.
4. Exceptions & Discretionary Credits
Refunds or account credits may be granted on a discretionary basis in these situations:
-
Duplicate charges across multiple billing cycles;
-
Involuntary downtime or loss of data due to platform fault;
-
Platform-wide service degradation acknowledged by our status page or incident reports.
All decisions are final and subject to Viduli’s discretion.
