Refund Policy

At Precedes, our optimization-based model ensures that clients only pay for measurable improvements in code speed, memory efficiency, or resource usage. We understand that exceptional circumstances may arise, and we are committed to maintaining a transparent and fair refund process for all users.

Eligibility and Process

Refunds may be requested in cases where:

  • The actual optimization results fall short of the agreed-upon goals.
  • Deliverables are incomplete or unverifiable.
  • There are technical failures or service issues with the Precedes platform.
  • A clear violation of terms by either the client or the optimization engineer has occurred.

Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of project delivery. To initiate a request, please contact our support team at contact@precedes.io with a clear explanation of your concern.

How Refunds Work in Optimization-Based Projects

In optimization-based engagements, refunds are calculated based on the percentage of improvement not achieved compared to the agreed target. For instance, if a 100% improvement was expected but only 60% was delivered, the client may receive a proportional refund of the unmet 40%.

Client-Initiated Refunds

Clients may request a refund if:

  • Optimization goals are not achieved or verifiable.
  • There is a clear deviation from the agreed scope or expectations.
  • The engineer fails to deliver a functional or measurable outcome.

Our team will carefully review evidence such as before/after metrics, benchmarks, and communication records to determine eligibility.

Engineer-Initiated Refunds

Optimization engineers may request Precedes' support in refund or payment adjustment situations such as:

  • The client fails to provide essential input, data, or testing environments.
  • The project's requirements were misrepresented or altered during execution.
  • There is abusive or fraudulent behavior from the client.

We are committed to protecting engineers’ rights and will assess each case fairly.

Dispute Resolution

If disagreement arises between the client and engineer regarding results or refund eligibility, Precedes offers a neutral, internal resolution process. Both parties may submit relevant evidence. A final decision will be issued by our team based on fairness and technical merit.

Policy Updates

Precedes reserves the right to update this policy as our platform evolves. All changes will be reflected here and communicated clearly to users when applicable.
