This Payment and Refund Policy is deemed incorporated into the Terms and Conditions. Any payment made or refund requested constitutes your acknowledgement and acceptance of the terms set out herein:
• Service Fees relate to UnivEase professional time and work delivered; Third-Party Fees are separate and follow third-party rules (refundable only if and when the third party refunds them).
• No refund is provided solely because a visa/admission outcome is negative, an appointment is unavailable, or processing takes longer than expected.
• Refunds, if any, apply to the Service Fee portion only and exclude non-refundable add-ons already delivered.
10.1 Stage-based Service Fee refunds (Client cancellation)
If you cancel in writing, the following refund guideline applies to the Service Fee:

|---|
| Stage 0 | Before Tracking Number is issued and before any work starts. | Up to 90% Service Fee. |
| Stage 1 | On the same Working Day the Tracking Number is issued; no work started. | 70% of Service Fee. |
| Stage 2 | After 1 Working Day from Tracking Number issuance; no work started. | 50% of Service Fee. |
| Stage 3 | After 1 Working Day from Tracking Number issuance; after Initial consultation or checklist is provided or after applying for passport transit permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs (whichever occurs first). | 0% (non-refundable) |
| Stage 4 | After document processing is completed and/or after any booking, submission, lodgement, dispatch, or paid third-party action is taken. | 0% (non-refundable) |
10.2 Additional notes
• VAT paid on the UnivEase Service Fee is non-refundable.
• If any visa fee or university application/tuition fee paid to UnivEase remains unused and has not been submitted or processed, UnivEase shall refund that specific unused amount in full (100%), subject only to any unavoidable bank/payment gateway charges actually incurred.
• If a case is on hold for more than 3 months due to missing documents or lack of response or any other reasons, UnivEase may close the case; reopening may require a new Service Fee.
• If forged/misleading documents are provided or unlawful actions are requested, UnivEase may terminate the service with no refund.
• If a specific paid add-on has already been delivered (for example translation, notarization, courier booking, or paid university application submission), that add-on is non-refundable; Third-Party Fees incurred on your instruction remain payable.
10.3 Cancellations and rescheduling
All Cancellations must be submitted in writing via email to hello@univease.com. Rescheduling/changes depend on third-party rules (embassy/VFS policies, university deadlines, courier pickup windows). Any third-party rescheduling fees are payable by the Client.
10.4 Refusals and reapplications
If a case is refused, UnivEase may, at its discretion, offer guidance or a new service offer for reapplication. Any discount/credit is not automatic and must be confirmed by email. Third-Party Fees are not credited unless the third party refunds them.
