Refund & Cancellation Policy
B0. Partner Registration Fee — ₹49 (one-time)
What Revend charges today. The only payment Revend currently collects from a user is the one-time Partner Registration Fee of ₹49 (inclusive of applicable taxes), paid once by a Merchant or Service Provider when registering a Partner account. Customers pay nothing to use Revend. Sections B1–B9 below describe booking, order and escrow transactions that are not yet available on the Platform; they take effect only when those features are launched and are published here in advance.
B0.1 What the fee is
- Amount: ₹49, inclusive of applicable taxes.
- Frequency: charged once, at Partner registration. It is not a subscription, it does not auto-renew, and no card or UPI mandate is stored for future debits.
- Who pays it: Merchants and Service Providers registering a Partner account. Customer accounts are free.
- What it covers: processing and verification of your Partner registration, including the identity checks described in our Terms & Conditions.
- Currency: Indian Rupee (INR). The amount shown at checkout is the amount charged; there are no additional handling or convenience charges.
B0.2 Cancellation
You may cancel at any point before the payment is completed — simply do not complete the payment. No amount is collected and no account is created.
Once the payment is completed your registration is submitted for verification immediately, so there is no post-payment cancellation window. If you no longer wish to use a Partner account you may delete it at any time (see Privacy Policy, Section 8), but deleting the account does not by itself refund the ₹49 fee.
B0.3 When the ₹49 fee is refunded
| Situation | Outcome | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Amount debited but the payment was never captured (failed or abandoned transaction) | Full ₹49 released | Released automatically by your bank or the payment gateway, typically 5–7 business days. No request needed. |
| Charged more than once for the same registration | Full refund of the duplicate charge(s) | 5–7 business days after we approve the request |
| Fee debited but no Partner account was created | Full ₹49 refund | 5–7 business days after we approve the request |
| Revend cancels or refuses the registration for a reason not attributable to you | Full ₹49 refund | 5–7 business days after we approve the request |
| You change your mind after the registration has been submitted | Not refundable | — |
| Verification fails because the documents or details you supplied could not be verified | Not refundable | — |
| Account suspended or terminated for breach of our Terms | Not refundable | — |
Outside the situations listed above the Partner Registration Fee is non-refundable, because the verification work it pays for is carried out as soon as the payment is received.
B0.4 How to request a refund of the ₹49 fee
Refunds of the Partner Registration Fee are handled by our support team — there is no self-service refund button in the app. Please raise the request by email as described below.
- Email support@revend.in with the subject “Registration fee refund”.
- Include the mobile number you registered with, the date of payment, and the payment or order reference shown on your payment receipt or bank statement.
- We acknowledge every request within 2 business days.
- We review and give you a decision within 7 business days of receiving a complete request.
- If the refund is approved it is issued to the original payment method through our payment gateway and typically reaches you within 5–7 business days of approval. Revend does not issue refunds in cash or to a different account.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome, escalate as set out in Section B8.
B1. Overview — bookings, orders and escrow
Sections B1–B9 apply to Platform booking and order transactions, which are not yet live. They are published in advance so that the terms are known before those features are released. For the only fee Revend charges today — the one-time ₹49 Partner Registration Fee — see Section B0, which governs in case of any conflict.
When booking and order payments are launched, Revend's escrow-based payment model is intended to ensure that Customer funds are not released to a Service Provider or Merchant until the job or order is confirmed complete. This policy defines when and how refunds are issued under that model.
Refund Processing Time: 5–7 business days to the original payment method
Currency: Indian Rupee (INR)
Refund Authority: Revend Operations Team,
