REFUND POLICY

Fieldscope (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Firm’ or ‘Us’) follows a strict Refund Policy that has been made to ensure that you as a customer do not have any hassles.

Refunds

Fieldscope runs a platform where the Clients can post their work requirements and/or specifications and contact Providers that meet their requirements.

Clients only make payments to Providers upon being satisfied with assignments that are marked as ‘completed’. In the event that a Client is not satisfied with an incomplete assignment, the Client can hire another Provider on the platform to complete the assignment.

Refunds may be processed only when there is a disagreement between a Client and a Provider in respect of deliverable(s) and/or payment(s), subject to mutual consent between the Parties. In the event of a dispute between the Parties that is unable to be resolved internally, the Parties shall proceed to resolve the dispute through mediation with an impartial mediator assigned by the Firm, and if the dispute is still unable to be resolved, shall settle the same through arbitration carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 before a sole arbitrator to be appointed by the Parties.

When a refund is to be made upon fulfilment of condition of returns as mentioned above, then the agreed amount shall be refunded through the payment method used by the Client. No cash refunds shall be made.

Coverage and Iterations

As part of the Services, We shall include up to 3 iterations of work from the Providers, subject to the scope of work agreed upon initially between the Client and the Provider, and all exchanges shall be subject to the final number of iterations that a Client shall be entitled to avail of, given the unique facts and circumstances.

Dispute resolution in respect of coverage shall follow the same process as that of refunds (as mentioned hereinabove). Under no circumstances shall the Firm be held jointly or severally liable for any internal disputes between Clients and Providers.
