Refund Policy

A Missed Deadline:

If a product isn’t completed by the deadline, we may provide a partial refund, typically 10% per day up to 75% of the commission’s price, depending on factors such as the time allowed, client-requested changes, and the project’s scale. Each case is evaluated individually.

B. Unsatisfactory Product

If a client isn’t satisfied with the product, we may offer a refund of up to 15%, and the product will be revised according to the client’s standards. This applies only to minor requests and if the requests were clearly defined in the original agreement.

C. Substandard Product

If a project doesn’t meet NetherixStudios’ standards, we may offer a refund of up to 35%. The decision is made by the Management Team.

D. Open Clause

We may offer a refund for reasons other than those outlined in this document. In cases such as these, it will be entirely up to the discretion of Senior Management.

Handling fees are non-refundable. The refund % is on the total decided amount. As a client, you are not eligible for a refund if the delay is caused directly by you or by any third-parties or situations which are out of our control and restrict our capability to complete the commission.

Moreover, you are not eligible for a refund if you decide to cancel the commission after the freelancer already starts working on it, though a refund compensation may be issued in some cases, for the work which is yet to be completed.

E. Commissions on hold

You have the option for keeping your commission on hold, this means a commission is declared as “on hold” by you, this duration will not be counted within deadline/timeframe and you will not be eligible for “missed deadline” refunds for the time period the commission was on hold.

If you decide to cancel the commission after it has been paid and the freelancer has already started work, you will receive an amount equivalent to the work performed by the freelancer.

Extra Charging Policy

A. Client change of mind:

If a client decides to change the commission, the freelancer can charge an additional fee. Make sure that all details are clearly communicated to everyone involved, and then inform the Commission Manager or Management Team. One of these two parties must approve the price increase.

All requests must be submitted through the official Discord server ticket. Requests made outside of the ticket will not be considered by NetherixStudios.

B. Change in product when at least 50% complete

If a considerable change to the project is requested after the original request has reached 50% completion, the Freelancer may require additional payment to complete the change. If the client does not wish to pay extra, the commission will be finished to the original specifications. This is not a valid reason for a refund.

C. Addon to the project

If a client wishes to add an additional service or add a request not present in the original agreement as is not relevant to an issue resulting from work done or an issue with the product, the freelancer is entitled to ask for additional pay. A member of management will need to provide approval for this.

D. Open Clause
