Refund & Cancellation Policy
Version 1.0 · Effective 15 September 2026 · Last updated 15 September 2026
Scope
This policy applies to paid sponsored placement products — Elite and Featured. Listing a business, claiming a listing and submitting for verification are free and involve no payment.
Before a campaign starts
A campaign that has not yet started may be cancelled, and any amount paid for it is refundable, less any costs already incurred in preparing it.
After a campaign starts
Once a campaign is running, the placement is being delivered. Refunds for a started campaign are considered case by case, and any refund is normally pro-rated for the unused portion.
If we cancel
If we suspend or remove a campaign because a listing breached our policies, no refund is due for the remaining period. If we cancel for any other reason, the unused portion is refunded.
What is never refundable by its nature
Verification is not a paid product, so no refund question arises. Organic ranking is not a paid product and cannot be purchased.
How to request
Contact us using the details on the Contact & Legal Notice page, quoting the business name and campaign dates.
