Refund Policy
This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which users may request a refund for transactions made through our online payment platform for energy bills, including electricity and gas services. By using our services, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
1. Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds may be granted under the following circumstances:
- Duplicate Payments: If a payment is made more than once for the same energy bill within a single billing cycle, users are eligible for a refund of the duplicate payment amount.
- Incorrect Amount Charged: If a user is charged an incorrect amount due to a system error or miscalculation, they may request a refund for the discrepancy.
- Failed Transactions: If a payment is initiated but is not successfully processed, resulting in funds being deducted from the user’s account, a full refund may be requested.
- Cancellations: If a user cancels a scheduled payment before it is processed, a refund may be issued, provided the payment has not been completed.
2. Non-Refundable Transactions
Certain transactions are deemed non-refundable, including but not limited to:
- Payments that have already been processed and cleared with the energy provider.
- Fees associated with payment processing that were disclosed at the time of the transaction, unless they were charged in error.
- Payments made in error for services not associated with the user’s account.

- Documentation: If applicable, users should include any supporting documentation, such as payment receipts or screenshots of the transaction.
- Review Process: The refund request will be reviewed, and users will receive confirmation of eligibility. This process may take up to [number of days, e.g., 5-7 business days].
4. Processing Refunds
Once a refund request is approved:
