Refund & Cancellation Policy

This policy explains how cancellations, downgrades, and refund requests are handled for BookerBat subscription plans.

Last updated: 2 September 2026·Effective: 2 September 2026·Governing law: New Zealand
Policy updates: We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, notify you by email or via a notice in your dashboard. Your continued use of BookerBat after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. Any changes to refund terms apply only to purchases made on or after the effective date — your rights under the policy in place at the time of your purchase remain unaffected.

1. Overview

This Refund and Cancellation Policy ("Policy") applies to all paid subscription plans (Starter and Pro) offered by DAIT Consultancy Limited trading as BookerBat. It supplements our Terms of Service.

Our goal is to be fair and transparent. We offer a generous 14-day free trial so you can evaluate BookerBat thoroughly before committing to a paid plan.

If you have questions not covered here, please contact us at support@bookerbat.com.

2. Free Trial

  • All new accounts receive a 14-day free trial of Pro plan features at no charge.
  • No payment information is required to start the trial.
  • At the end of the trial, your account automatically reverts to the free plan. No charge is made.
  • If you choose to upgrade during or at the end of the trial, your billing cycle begins from the date of upgrade.
  • Only one free trial is available per business entity or individual. We reserve the right to recover unpaid subscription fees if we determine that multiple accounts were created to exploit the trial offer.

3. Cancellation

3.1 How to Cancel

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings at Admin → Settings → Subscription, or by emailing support@bookerbat.com. Cancellation requests submitted by email will be processed within 2 business days.

3.2 Timing of Cancellation

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain full access to your paid plan features until that date. After the billing period ends:

  • Your account reverts to the free plan with its associated feature limitations.
  • Your data (bookings, employees, services, settings) is preserved and remains accessible.
  • Features restricted to paid plans (e.g. advanced analytics, unlimited bookings) will no longer be available.

For annual subscriptions, cancellation also takes effect at the end of the current annual billing period. If you cancel mid-year, you will retain full access until the annual period ends. No refund or credit is issued for the remaining months of the annual period.

3.3 Immediate Cancellation

If you require your subscription to be cancelled immediately (before the end of the billing period), please contact us. In this case, access to paid features will cease immediately and the refund provisions in Section 4 will apply.

4. Refund Policy

4.1 General Policy

Because BookerBat offers a 14-day free trial and provides immediate access to all paid features upon subscription, we generally do not provide refunds for monthly subscription fees once a billing period has commenced.

4.2 Eligible Refund Circumstances

We will issue a full refund in the following circumstances:

  • You request a refund within 7 days of your first-ever paid subscription charge (new customer satisfaction guarantee).
  • You were charged in error due to a technical fault on our platform (e.g. double billing, incorrect amount).
  • We materially fail to provide the Service due to extended outage (exceeding 72 consecutive hours) during your paid period.
  • We terminate your account without cause and you have remaining prepaid subscription time.

4.3 Annual Subscriptions — Pro-Rata Refunds

For annual subscriptions, if you cancel before the end of your annual billing period and do not fall within the eligible circumstances above, we may at our discretion offer a pro-rata credit or partial refund for unused complete months remaining. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Contact us at support@bookerbat.com to request a review.

4.4 Non-Refundable Circumstances

Refunds will not be issued for:

  • Unused features or services within an active subscription period.
  • Dissatisfaction with features that were available and accurately described at the time of subscription.
  • Accounts suspended or terminated due to violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy.
  • Charges more than 30 days prior to the refund request (unless due to billing error).
  • Partial months on monthly plans.

4.5 How Refunds Are Processed

Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer. We process refunds via Stripe, our payment processor. We are not responsible for delays caused by your bank or card network.

5. Failed Payments

  • If a payment fails, we will notify you by email and attempt to re-process the charge after 3 days.
  • If payment is not received within 7 days of the due date, paid features may be suspended.
  • If payment is not received within 30 days, your account may be downgraded to the free plan and your subscription cancelled.
  • You can update your payment details at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.
  • We are not liable for any losses or disruption to your business arising from a subscription suspension due to failed payment.

6. Add-on Cancellations and Refunds

6.1 SMS OTP Add-on

The SMS OTP Verification Add-on is billed as a recurring monthly charge added to your existing subscription. The following terms apply:

  • When activated, a prorated charge is applied immediately for the remainder of your current billing period. From the next billing period, the $15.00 USD/month add-on fee is included in your regular subscription invoice.
  • Cancellation takes effect immediately. SMS OTP verification is disabled at the time of cancellation.
  • Upon cancellation, any unused days in the current billing period are credited as a prorated amount against your next invoice. No cash refund is issued for the unused portion.
  • The add-on charge is non-refundable once the billing period has commenced, except in the case of billing error or extended service outage as described in Section 5.2.

6.2 Future Add-ons

Additional add-ons may be introduced over time. The specific cancellation and refund terms for each add-on will be described at the point of purchase and will supplement this policy.

7. Plan Changes

6.1 Upgrading

When you upgrade from a lower plan to a higher plan (e.g. Starter to Pro) mid-cycle, you will be charged a pro-rata amount for the remainder of the current billing period at the new plan rate. Your new plan features will be available immediately upon upgrade.

6.2 Downgrading

When you downgrade from a higher plan to a lower plan (e.g. Pro to Starter) or to the free plan:

  • The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
  • You will not receive a refund or credit for the difference in price during the current period.
  • You retain access to your current plan features until the billing period ends.
  • No data is deleted upon downgrade; however, features beyond the lower plan's limits will become inaccessible.

8. Termination by BookerBat

If we terminate your account for violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy, no refund will be issued for any remaining prepaid subscription period.

If we terminate your account for business reasons unrelated to your conduct (e.g. we discontinue the Service), we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice and issue a pro-rata refund for any remaining prepaid subscription period.

9. Your Statutory Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Policy limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law. In New Zealand, the Fair Trading Act 1986 prohibits us from making misleading representations about our refund rights. Your rights under that Act are not excluded or limited by this Policy.

As our Service is supplied for business purposes, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply to the extent permitted by section 43 of that Act.

If you believe we have acted unfairly, you may contact the Commerce Commission New Zealand at comcom.govt.nz.

10. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund or discuss a billing issue, please contact us with the following information:

  • Your registered account email address.
  • The date and amount of the charge in question.
  • The reason for your refund request.

Email: support@bookerbat.com

We aim to respond within 3 business days.
