Refund Policy

Design and build work is custom and cannot be resold, so refunds work differently here than for a product you can return. This page is blunt about where the lines are.

Cyphertech LLC, doing business as Cyphtech · Richmond, Virginia, USA · Last updated 2 September 2026

Deposits

The deposit reserves capacity and covers the first stage of work. Once a project has started it is non-refundable, because the time it bought has been set aside and, in most cases, already spent.

If you pay a deposit and cancel before any work begins, we refund it in full.

Milestone payments

Milestones are invoiced against work already delivered: a design stage completed, a build stage shipped. Once a milestone is delivered and approved, that payment is not refundable.

If you cancel mid-project

You pay for work completed to the point of cancellation, and anything already paid for is yours to keep and use, including files. If you have paid ahead of the work actually completed, we refund the difference.

If we cannot deliver

If we cannot complete a project for a reason on our side, we refund everything you have paid for work not delivered, and you keep whatever has been delivered. We will say so as early as we know rather than let a project drift.

Defects after launch

For thirty days after launch we fix defects in our own work at no cost. That is a fix, not a refund. The aim is that the thing you paid for works.

What is not refundable

Money spent on your behalf with third parties (domains, hosting, stock licences, ad spend, plugin or template licences) is not refundable by us, because it is not ours to return.

Changing direction, changing your mind about the design, or a business decision to stop the project are not defects and are not grounds for a refund of completed work.

How to raise it

Email support@cyphtech.com with the project name and what went wrong. We respond within two business days and aim to resolve it without either of us needing anyone else involved.

Questions about any of this go to support@cyphtech.com.
