Cancellation & Refund Policy | The SEOWIRE

This Cancellation and Refund Policy applies to all services, advertising placements, sponsored editorial contributions, and digital media offerings purchased on The SEOWIRE (https://theseowire.com), owned and operated by Openinitia Labs (“we”, “us”, or “our”).

We strive to maintain complete transparency, professional editorial standards, and clear satisfaction for all our advertisers, sponsors, and partners. Please read this policy carefully before making any booking or transaction on our platform.

1. Nature of Services

The SEOWIRE is an independent digital SEO news, analysis, and marketing media platform. Our commercial offerings consist entirely of intangible digital services, including:

Digital display and banner advertising (Header, Sidebar, In-Content, and Footer placements).
Sponsored news articles, branded editorial features, and guest publications.
Newsletter text and display sponsorships.
Digital SEO industry reports, partner announcements, and media kits.

Because our services are customized, non-tangible, and involve real-time server impressions and editorial labor, specific cancellation conditions apply as detailed below.

2. Order Cancellation Policy

We understand that business plans may change. You may request a cancellation of your purchased service under the following guidelines:

Within 24 Hours

Pre-Activation Window

You may cancel an order within 24 hours of purchase, provided that the sponsored article has not yet been drafted/scheduled, or the advertising banners have not been uploaded to our active ad servers.

Post-Activation

Active & Live Campaigns

Once an advertising placement is live or a sponsored post has been published and indexed, the order cannot be cancelled, but you may request immediate takedown of the ad banner or sponsored content.

3. Refund Eligibility

You may be eligible for a partial or full refund in the following circumstances:

Editorial Rejection: If a sponsored article or press release submitted by an advertiser is rejected by our editorial desk due to non-compliance with our quality, ethical, or legal guidelines, and the advertiser does not wish to provide revisions, a 100% full refund will be issued.
Service Non-Fulfillment: If we fail to deliver or activate your advertising campaign or sponsored feature within the mutually agreed timeline (excluding delays caused by customer non-responsiveness or missing assets), you are entitled to a full refund.
Duplicate or Incorrect Charge: In case of duplicate billing, billing technical errors, or overcharges via the payment gateway, the excess amount will be refunded in full immediately upon verification.

4. Non-Refundable Scenarios

Refunds will not be issued in the following cases:

Published Content: Once a sponsored article, guest post, or interview has been reviewed, approved, and published live on theseowire.com, no refunds will be granted.
Served Impressions & Ad Placements: Once a banner advertising campaign has commenced and live impressions have been delivered, fees for the elapsed duration or delivered impressions are non-refundable.
Client-Side Delays: Delays caused by the customer failing to provide required creatives, ad copy, URLs, or necessary approvals within 30 days of purchase do not qualify for a refund.
Change of Mind Post-Publication: Requests to remove published content due to a change of editorial strategy or business rebranding after delivery are not eligible for a refund.

Refund Processing Timeline (Mandatory Policy)

Once your refund request is received and approved by Openinitia Labs, it will be initiated within 24 to 48 business hours. The refunded amount will be credited back to the customer's original source of payment (Credit Card, Debit Card, Net Banking, UPI, or Wallet) within 5 to 7 business days, subject to standard banking and payment gateway processing timelines.
