1. Overview

At MachineLabs, we are committed to delivering high-quality web scraping services and ensuring customer satisfaction. This policy outlines the conditions under which refunds are granted for our subscription plans (Basic, Professional, and Advanced) and dataset purchases.

2. Subscription Plan Cancellations

2.1 Cancellation by Customer

You may cancel your subscription at any time by contacting us via machinelabs.in/contact or through your account settings. The following conditions apply:

  • Cancellations made within 24 hours of the initial subscription purchase are eligible for a full refund.
  • Cancellations made after 24 hours but within 7 days of the billing date — where services have not been substantially used — are eligible for a pro-rated refund.
  • Cancellations made after 7 days of the billing date are not eligible for a refund for that cycle. Your subscription remains active until the end of the paid period.
  • No refund will be issued if the service has been fully rendered (e.g., data delivered, scraping completed for the cycle).

2.2 Cancellation by MachineLabs

MachineLabs reserves the right to cancel a subscription if a user violates our Terms and Conditions. In such cases, no refund will be provided. If we cancel a subscription for reasons beyond your control, a full pro-rated refund will be issued.

3. Refund Eligibility — Subscription Plans

Refunds will be considered in the following scenarios:

  • Service downtime or outage exceeding 24 consecutive hours attributable to MachineLabs
  • Persistent data quality issues reported and unresolved within 5 business days
  • Failure to deliver scraped data within agreed timelines for 3 or more scheduled updates in a billing cycle
  • Duplicate payment due to a technical error on our platform

Refunds will not be provided for:

  • Dissatisfaction arising from the customer’s own change in business requirements after delivery
  • Issues caused by third-party website changes, anti-scraping measures, or legal restrictions on target websites
  • Failure to use the service during the subscription period

4. Refund Eligibility — Dataset Purchases

Ready-to-use datasets purchased as one-time products are eligible for a refund only if:

  • The dataset is materially different from the description on our website
  • The data file is corrupt or undelivered within 24 hours of purchase
  • A duplicate payment was charged

Refund requests for dataset purchases must be raised within 48 hours of purchase.
