Cancellation and Refund Policy
Last updated 8 September 2026
Plain terms on cancelling a booking or an engagement, and what comes back to you when you do.
1. The short version
Consultations: cancel more than 24 hours ahead for a full refund, or move to
another slot free of charge.
Workshop seats: transferable to a later batch or a colleague. Full refund if
we cancel the batch.
Service engagements: refundable to the extent the work has not yet been done.
2. Free introductory consultation
The free intro consultation is free, so there is nothing to refund. Please still cancel or reschedule if you cannot attend — the slot goes to someone else, and no-shows are the reason other people wait.
3. Paid consultations
Currently the paid strategy session at ₹2,500.
- More than 24 hours before the slot — cancel for a full refund, or reschedule to any available slot at no charge.
- Within 24 hours of the slot, or you do not attend — the fee is not refundable. The time was reserved for you and cannot be resold at that notice.
- If we cancel or cannot attend — you choose: another slot, or a full refund.
- If the call cannot go ahead for technical reasons on our side — we reschedule at no charge, or refund in full if you would rather not.
Genuine emergencies are not a policy matter. If something serious happened, tell us and we will almost always move the slot.
4. Workshop seats
The open batch seat is ₹9,999 + GST. Seats are limited and allocated on payment.
- Transfer to a later batch — free of charge, on request before the batch date.
- Send a colleague instead — free of charge, tell us the name beforehand.
- Cancel more than 7 days before the batch — full refund.
- Cancel within 7 days — the seat is held and materials are prepared, so the fee is not refundable. It remains transferable to a later batch.
- If we cancel or reschedule the batch — move to another batch or take a full refund, whichever you prefer.
In-house and corporate sessions are quoted individually and cancelled under the terms of that quotation, since dates are blocked and travel may be booked.
5. Service engagements
Registration, catalogue, bid support, vendor assessment preparation and similar work is charged for the work performed.
- Before work begins — cancel for a full refund.
- Once work has begun — refundable only to the extent the work has not been performed. We will tell you what has been done and what that leaves.
- Filings already made, documents already drafted, submissions already lodged — not refundable, including where the outcome is unsuccessful.
An unsuccessful outcome is not a ground for refund. You are paying for professional work, not for a result. No consultant can guarantee that a tender will be won, a registration approved or an assessment cleared — those decisions rest with buyers, GeM, RITES and other authorities. Anyone promising otherwise is worth avoiding.
Where we have made a genuine error — a filing we got wrong, a deadline we missed — we correct it at our own cost, and we will discuss a refund if the error cost you the opportunity.
6. Free downloads
The templates and checklists on our resources page are free. Nothing is charged, so nothing is refundable.
7. How to cancel or request a refund
Email info@tenderbuddy.in with:
- your booking reference, or the date and time of the session;
- the name the booking was made in;
- whether you want to reschedule, transfer or refund.
You can also call +91 95993 36133 or message us on WhatsApp during working hours, Mon–Sat, 10:00–19:00 IST. For anything time-sensitive, phone or WhatsApp is faster than email.
8. How refunds are made
- Refunds go back to the original payment method. We cannot refund to a different card, account or UPI ID.
- We process approved refunds within 3 working days of agreeing them. Your bank or payment provider then takes its own time — typically 7–10 working days in total before the money appears.
- Refunds are made in full of the amount paid, including the GST charged on it.
- We do not deduct a cancellation charge on top. What is refundable under this policy is refunded whole.
If a refund has not reached you within 10 working days of us confirming it, tell us and we will chase it with the payment provider and send you the reference.
9. Payments that failed or were charged twice
If money left your account but you have no confirmation, do not pay again. Email us with the date, amount and any reference you have. Failed payments normally reverse on their own within a few working days; duplicates we refund as soon as we can see both transactions.
10. Disputes
Raise it with us first — most refund questions are settled in a phone call. If we cannot resolve it, the dispute process in our Terms and Conditions applies.
