Refund Policy
Narada Studios Private Limited · Last updated: July 2026 · 14 Sections
1. Welcome Budget — Narada Studios
• All new users of Narada Studios receive ₹500 / $5 Welcome Budget upon sign-up
• Welcome Budget is non-refundable and non-transferable
• Welcome Budget expires if your account is inactive for 180 days
• It cannot be converted to cash or transferred to other accounts
• Welcome Budget is provided as a platform courtesy and does not constitute a payment transaction
2. Purchased Balance — Narada Studios PAYG
• Balance topped up via Cashfree (UPI, cards, net banking) is refundable within 7 days of purchase
• Refund requests must be submitted via email to support@naradaaisage.com
• Refunds are processed to the original payment method
• Processing time: 5-7 business days for refunds to reflect in your account
• Once an AI task has been performed using purchased balance, that balance is consumed and is not refundable (see Section 4 — Non-Refundable AI Generations)
3. Balance Refund Eligibility
Purchased balance (Narada Studios) is eligible for refund in the following cases:
• Unused balance: Full refund if no AI tasks were performed with the purchased account balance
• Partially used balance: Refund for the unused portion of the account balance only
• Technical failures: Full refund if a platform error prevented any AI task from completing successfully (balance is auto-restored for failed tasks)
• Duplicate payments: Full refund for accidental duplicate top-ups of the same amount
• Platform termination: Pro-rata refund of unused purchased balance if Narada Studios permanently discontinues the service
Refund requests must clearly specify the transaction ID and reason.
4. Non-Refundable AI Generations
The following are explicitly non-refundable:
• Balance consumed for completed AI-generated content — scripts, images, videos, audio compositions, storyboards
• Balance consumed for Trailer Doc output generation (see Section 7 for Trailer Doc-specific policy)
• Welcome Budget provided free at sign-up
• Balance expired due to 180 days of account inactivity
• Refund requests submitted more than 7 days after the purchase date
• Subscription fees for Digital Dupe SaaS plans after the subscription period has commenced (see Section 5)
AI generation involves real compute costs from third-party model providers; once generation is complete, those costs cannot be reversed.
5. Digital Dupe — SaaS Subscription Refunds
Digital Dupe operates on monthly SaaS subscriptions (₹2,999, ₹9,999, or ₹14,999 per month, exclusive of 18% GST). The following refund policy applies:
• New subscriptions: A 7-day refund window applies from the date of first payment; if the Dupe has been deployed and actively used (conversations received, leads captured), refunds are assessed on a case-by-case basis
• Renewals: Monthly renewal charges are non-refundable after the renewal date
• Mid-cycle cancellations: Subscriptions cancelled mid-cycle will not receive a pro-rata refund; service continues until the end of the paid billing period
• Downgrade requests: Downgrading from a higher tier to a lower tier takes effect at the next billing cycle; no refund is issued for the difference in the current cycle
• Failed AI / system outages: If the Digital Dupe platform experiences downtime exceeding 48 continuous hours in a billing month, a pro-rata service credit (not cash refund) will be issued for the downtime period upon request
6. Digital Dupe — Trial Conversion Policy
• The 15-day free trial for Digital Dupe requires no credit card to initiate
• The trial is capped at 5 showcase products and 50 captured leads
• When the trial cap or 15-day period is reached (whichever comes first), the Dupe enters a soft-cutoff state; visitors see a polite branded interception modal
• The business owner receives an upgrade notification and may continue service by subscribing via Cashfree
• If no upgrade is made within 7 days of soft-cutoff, the Dupe enters a suspended state (data is retained for 30 days to allow later reactivation)
• Trial Dupes created by Co-Directors: The referring Co-Director's ungated trial privilege lasts for the standard 15-day trial period; if no sale closes within 30 days of trial creation, the Dupe may be reassigned or deleted by the Co-Director
No charges are applied during the trial period; no refund is applicable.
7. Trailer Doc — Per-Output Refunds
Trailer Doc operates on a per-output unlock model (₹1,525 / $15.25 per complete pre-production package). It is a project-based, per-output product — there is no ongoing wallet or balance associated with Trailer Doc:
• The ₹1,525 unlock fee is NON-REFUNDABLE upon successful generation and delivery of all three outputs: (1) 20-slide PDF pitch deck, (2) interactive lookbook URL, and (3) 90-second cinematic trailer video
• "Successful generation" means all three outputs are delivered and accessible to the user
• AUTOMATIC REFUND — TECHNICAL FAILURE: If a technical failure prevents the complete generation of all three deliverables (e.g., video generation fails or PDF export errors), the ₹1,525 unlock fee is automatically refunded to the original payment method within 24 hours
• Partial outputs (e.g., only 2 of 3 delivered): If only partial delivery occurs due to a platform error, a pro-rata refund is issued to the original payment method for the undelivered component
• User-initiated abandonment during generation does not qualify for refund; generation costs are incurred at the point of initiation
8. GST Treatment on Refunds
All Narada Studios products and services are subject to 18% Goods & Services Tax (GST) as applicable under Indian GST law (SAC Code: 998314 for AI software services).
• Refund amounts: When a refund is issued, the refund amount includes the GST component proportional to the refunded amount
• GST Invoice: A revised GST invoice or credit note will be issued for any refund within 30 days of the refund being processed
• Input Tax Credit (ITC): Business subscribers who claimed ITC on their subscription invoices are responsible for reversing ITC on any refunded amounts per Section 43 of the CGST Act
• GST on Co-Director commissions: Commissions earned by Co-Directors are not subject to GST; however, Co-Directors who are GST-registered must self-assess their GST liability on commission income per applicable GST rules

9. Co-Director Commission Disputes
