Refund Policy

Effective Date: 11th March 2025

Payment Terms

  • All payments for services provided by American Kreatives must be made in full upfront or as per the mutually agreed-upon payment schedule outlined in a written contract.
  • We accept payments through secure and authorized payment gateways to ensure safe transactions.
  • Failure to complete payment as agreed may result in a delay, suspension, or termination of services.

Non-Refundable Policy

  • Payments made for services are non-refundable, except where explicitly stated in a contractual agreement.
  • Due to the nature of our services—such as self-publishing, ghostwriting, design, and book marketing—once work has commenced, it involves dedicated resources, time, and expertise, making refunds infeasible.

Cancellation by American Kreatives

  • In rare cases where American Kreatives needs to cancel a service due to unforeseen circumstances, we may, at our sole discretion, issue a partial or full refund depending on the stage of work completed.
  • If a cancellation occurs due to a breach of contract by the client (e.g., non-payment, failure to provide necessary information), no refunds will be issued.

No Refund Policy After Project Commencement

  • Once a project has started, meaning work has begun based on the agreed scope, no refunds will be granted for a change of mind, modification in business plans, or any personal reasons.
  • By proceeding with the payment, you acknowledge and accept that services rendered by American Kreatives are custom, labor-intensive, and non-reversible.

Legal Compliance

  • Our Payments & Refunds policy is in compliance with applicable U.S. laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on service contracts.
  • Any disputes related to payments and refunds will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, and shall be resolved in the courts of New York.
  • We comply with all consumer protection laws and regulations, and clients are encouraged to review service agreements thoroughly before making a payment

Chargebacks & Dispute Resolution

  • If a client initiates an unauthorized chargeback or payment dispute, American Kreatives reserves the right to present contract agreements, work progress reports, and relevant communication to dispute the chargeback.
  • Unresolved disputes may be escalated to a third-party arbitrator or settled in a court of law as per the governing jurisdiction.
  • Chargebacks filed fraudulently or in violation of our Terms & Conditions may result in legal action or collection efforts.
