Cancellation and Refund Policies

At Bharat Switch, we strive to ensure customer satisfaction with our services. To provide clarity and transparency, we have outlined our cancellation and refund policies below.

  • Cancellation Notice: Customers may cancel their subscription at any time by providing a 30-day written notice to Bharat Switch. This notice can be submitted through email, the Switchbuddy app, or any other approved communication method.

    Processing Time: Bharat Switch will process the cancellation request within 10 business days upon receipt of the notice. Customers will receive a confirmation of the cancellation.

    Hardware Return: Customers are required to return all hardware provided by Bharat Switch within 15 days of the cancellation notice. The hardware must be returned in good working condition.

    Disconnection Appointment: Customers must schedule an appointment for hardware disconnection and retrieval through the Switchbuddy app. Technicians must be allowed reasonable access to the premises for this purpose.

    Continued Subscription: If the customer fails to return the hardware within the stipulated time, the subscription will continue, and charges will apply until the hardware is returned.

    Early Termination Fee: An early termination fee equivalent to one month’s subscription fee may be charged if the cancellation occurs within the first three months of the subscription.

    Final Invoice: A final invoice will be generated, detailing any remaining balance, early termination fees, and deductions for damages or missing hardware.

  • Security Deposit Refund: The security deposit will be refunded within 45 days after the hardware is returned to Bharat Switch in good working condition.

    Damage Deductions: Any damage or loss to the hardware will result in deductions from the security deposit. The deduction amount can range from 30% to 100%, depending on the severity of the damage.

    Partial Month Refunds: If a customer cancels their subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, a prorated refund will be issued for the remaining days of the cycle.

    Processing Refunds: Refunds will be processed using the same payment method used for the original transaction unless otherwise specified by the customer.

    Unreturned Hardware: Failure to return hardware will result in the forfeiture of the security deposit and additional charges equal to the retail value of the unreturned hardware.

    Refund Notification: Customers will be notified via email or the Switchbuddy app once the refund has been processed and issued.

    Non-Refundable Fees: Installation fees, early termination fees, and any other non-refundable charges will not be included in the refund.

  • Condition of Hardware: Refunds are contingent upon the return of hardware in good working condition, with normal wear and tear accepted. Excessive damage will affect the refund amount.

    Inspection of Returns: Returned hardware will be inspected within 10 business days of receipt. Customers will be informed of any issues and potential deductions from the refund.

    Unauthorized Modifications: Hardware that has been tampered with, modified, or repaired by unauthorized personnel will not be eligible for a full refund. Such actions may void the security deposit.

    Documentation and Packaging: Customers are encouraged to return hardware with all original documentation and packaging to avoid additional deductions from the refund.

    Service Usage: Refund eligibility may be affected if the customer has used the service excessively or in a manner not intended under the terms of the subscription.

    Outstanding Payments: Any outstanding payments or dues must be settled before a refund can be processed. This includes unpaid subscription fees or penalties.

    Prorated Refunds: In cases of partial cancellations (e.g., downgrading a package), prorated refunds for the unused portion of the service will be provided.

  • Service Interruptions: Bharat Switch is committed to providing uninterrupted service. However, in case of service disruptions due to unforeseen circumstances, refunds or credits may be issued at Bharat Switch’s discretion.

    Planned Maintenance: No refunds will be provided for service interruptions due to planned maintenance, which will be communicated to customers in advance.

    Extended Downtime: If a service interruption extends beyond 48 hours, customers may be eligible for a partial refund or service credit for the affected period.

    Customer Reporting: Customers must report any service interruptions immediately to be eligible for a refund or credit. Delayed reporting may affect eligibility.

    Force Majeure: Bharat Switch is not liable for service disruptions caused by events beyond our control (force majeure). Refunds in such cases will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

    Refund Claims: Customers must submit refund claims within 30 days of the service disruption. Claims submitted after this period may not be eligible for a refund.

    Evaluation of Claims: All refund claims will be evaluated based on the nature of the service disruption and customer usage patterns during the affected period.

  • Trial Period: If a trial period is offered, customers can cancel during the trial without any penalty. However, hardware must be returned in good condition to avoid charges.

    Upgrading Services: Customers who upgrade their subscription mid-cycle will have any remaining balance from the current package applied to the new package. Refunds will not be issued for downgrades mid-cycle.

    Promotional Offers: Refunds for subscriptions purchased under promotional offers will be subject to the terms of the specific promotion. Additional restrictions may apply.

    Government Mandates: Any refunds required due to government mandates or regulatory changes will be processed in accordance with the applicable laws and guidelines.

    Exceptional Cases: In exceptional cases, such as customer relocation or severe financial hardship, Bharat Switch may consider special refund requests on a case-by-case basis.

    Service Upgrades: Customers opting for hardware or service upgrades will receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of their existing subscription, applied towards the upgraded service.
