Cancellation & Refund Policy
Last updated: 8 November 2026
This policy explains how Dr. Shah handles cancellations and refunds. All payments are processed securely by Razorpay; we never see or store your card or UPI details.
1. Consultations
- You can cancel or reschedule yourself from My bookings up to 12 hours before the session.
- Cancelled 12+ hours before: full refund to the original payment method.
- Cancelled within 12 hours, or missed without notice (no-show): not refundable, except genuine emergencies at our discretion.
- If the doctor cancels or can’t join, you choose: a new time at no cost, or a full refund.
- If a session is cut short by a technical problem on our side, we’ll offer a free follow-up or a refund.
2. Programs and courses
- Paid programs can be refunded in full within 7 days of purchase if you have completed less than 20% of the lessons.
- After that, programs are not refundable because the content has been delivered digitally.
- Certificates already issued are withdrawn when a program is refunded.
3. Shop products
- Physical products can be returned unused, in original packaging, within 7 days of delivery. Return shipping is paid by you unless the item arrived damaged or wrong.
- Damaged or wrong items: tell us within 48 hours of delivery with a photo, and we’ll replace or refund at no cost.
- Digital products and opened consumables are not returnable unless faulty. See also our Shipping & Returns page.
4. Paid twice by mistake?
If you are charged twice for the same booking, program or order (for example after a slow network or pressing pay twice), the extra payment is refunded in full. Our system flags duplicate payments automatically for the admin team; you can also write to us at support@example.com with the payment IDs.
5. How and when refunds are paid
- Refunds go back to the original payment method only (card, UPI, net banking, wallet).
- We start the refund within 2 working days of approval. Razorpay and your bank usually take 5–7 working days to show it.
- You’ll get an email when the refund is started.
6. Contact
For any refund question, email support@example.com or use our Contact page. We reply within 2 working days.
