Refunds & cancellation
How manual research plans, payment issues and refund requests work. Last updated 2 November 2026.
No automatic renewal
Each successful paid purchase activates one 30-day period. No recurring mandate or automatic future debit is created. You can stop renewing without a cancellation fee. Your existing paid access remains available through its expiry unless the payment is reversed or refunded.
Before paying
Your first sign-in includes a one-time 30-day trial with published fair-use allowances. Trial access does not ask for a card. Plan prices and research limits appear on the pricing page and before checkout. Gainbud is not GST-registered and does not add a separate GST charge.
Failed, duplicate or missing-access payments
If a payment failed, appears duplicated, or completed without the correct access, contact jsiag6@gmail.com or use private feedback. Include the account email and Razorpay order/payment reference, but never a password, OTP or card details. Do not pay again while the first payment is being checked. We will verify the payment record and resolve access or an eligible refund.
Unused-plan requests
Contact support within 7 calendar days of payment if you want a refund of an unused plan. We review the payment, whether the paid allowance has been used, and the reason for the request. Research already generated is a consumed digital service; a full refund is not automatically promised after use. This does not limit remedies for defective or undelivered service or rights required by applicable law.
Refund processing
Approved refunds are initiated to the original payment method through Razorpay. Bank and payment-provider processing times can vary; support will provide the available refund reference and status. A full processed refund ends the related paid access. There is no automated refund button and submitting a request does not itself approve a refund.
