━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. CAMPAIGN CANCELLATION REFUNDS
1.1 Minimum Slots Requirement
All campaigns require a minimum of 10 paid slots to proceed to print. This ensures we can deliver quality campaigns at competitive prices.
1.2 What Happens If Campaign Doesn't Fill
If fewer than 10 slots are sold by the deposit deadline, the campaign will be cancelled. You will have two options:
OPTION A: REFUND (MINUS PAYPAL FEE)
You receive a refund of your deposit minus the PayPal transaction fee.
Example:
- Your deposit: $225.00
- PayPal fee: $6.83
- Your refund: $218.17
Why the PayPal fee is deducted:
- PayPal charges a transaction fee when we receive your payment
- PayPal does NOT refund transaction fees under any circumstances
- We cannot recover this fee from PayPal
- Therefore, we cannot refund this fee to you
- This is standard practice in the payment processing industry
Refund timeline: 5 business days to your original payment method
OPTION B: 10% DISCOUNT ON NEXT CAMPAIGN
Instead of a refund, you can apply your deposit toward a future campaign and receive an additional 10% discount.
Example:
- Your deposit: $225.00
- 10% discount: $22.50
- Total credit: $247.50 toward next campaign
Benefits:
- No PayPal fee deducted
- Get more value ($247.50 vs $218.17)
- Discount applies to any future campaign
- Discount never expires
- Can be used anytime
1.3 How to Choose
You must choose Option A or Option B within 3 business days of campaign cancellation notification. If you don't respond within 3 days, Option B (10% discount) will be automatically applied.
1.4 Refund Processing
Refunds are processed within 5 business days to your original payment method (PayPal). You will receive an email confirmation when the refund is processed.

2. NO REFUNDS AFTER DESIGN APPROVAL
2.1 Design Approval is Final
Once you approve your design proof, no refunds are available under any circumstances. Your balance payment is due and non-refundable.
2.2 Why No Refunds After Approval
When you approve your design, we:
- Lock your design
- Reserve your slot

- Cannot cancel without significant losses
2.3 What You're Approving
When you approve your design proof, you are confirming:
- Design is correct
- All information is accurate

2.4 Before You Approve
Before approving your design, you can:
- Request changes

- Take time to review
Once you approve, you cannot change your mind.

All deadlines specified in your Service Agreement are firm and non-negotiable:

Deadlines are necessary to:

4.4 No Extensions
We cannot extend any deadline. Missing a deadline results in immediate forfeiture.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. PAYPAL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
5.1 What Are PayPal Fees
When you pay via PayPal, PayPal charges a transaction fee:
- 2.9% of transaction amount
- Plus $0.30 per transaction
Example:
- Your payment: $225.00
- PayPal fee: $6.83
- Amount we receive: $218.17
5.2 Why PayPal Fees Aren't Refundable
- PayPal charges the fee when we receive payment
- PayPal keeps the fee (we don't receive it)
- PayPal does NOT refund fees under any circumstances
- We cannot recover the fee from PayPal
- Therefore, we cannot refund the fee to you
5.3 This Is Standard Practice
All businesses that accept PayPal face the same situation. PayPal fees are non-refundable by
PayPal policy.
5.4 If Campaign Is Cancelled
If your campaign is cancelled due to insufficient slots and you choose a refund:
- We refund your deposit
- We deduct the PayPal fee
- You receive: Deposit - PayPal fee
Example:
- Your deposit: $225.00
- PayPal fee: $6.83
- Your refund: $218.17
5.5 Alternative: 10% Discount
To avoid losing the PayPal fee, choose Option B (10% discount on next campaign) instead of a refund. You'll get more value:
- Your deposit: $225.00
- 10% discount: $22.50
- Total credit: $247.50
