Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: 31/12/2024

1. Introduction

  1. Purpose: This Refund & Cancellation Policy (“Policy”) explains how Lockngo Ltd (“Lockngo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles refunds, cancellations, and related inquiries. We process payments from end users (“End Users”) who pay for locker access—whether on a per-use basis or via a subscription—and we also license our software (“Services”) to business clients (“Clients”). By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree to this Policy.
  2. Legal Compliance: We comply with all applicable UK consumer protection laws (including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts Regulations, where relevant) and, as we expand, the corresponding EU regulations that provide for minimum consumer rights (including any cooling-off periods for digital services, if applicable). For purely B2B contracts, consumer law generally does not apply. However, we maintain transparent and fair refund terms for all our Clients and End Users.

2. Refunds for End Users (B2C)

  1. Key Refund Triggers
    • Locker Inaccessibility Due to Hardware Failure: If an End User is unable to access a locker due to a hardware fault or malfunction, we will provide a refund for that specific booking/usage.
    • Digital Key Malfunction on Our End: If the digital key fails to activate or is otherwise inaccessible due to an error in our system, we will issue a refund.
    • System Error vs. User Error: We only process refunds for issues attributable to system or hardware faults. We do not refund for user mistakes (e.g., entering incorrect details, forgetting to use the locker).
  2. Cancellation Window for Per-Use Keys: Once an End User requests a digital key, there is a 1-hour cancellation window. If they cancel within that hour (and before actually activating the locker), they are entitled to a full refund. After activation, the booking is considered used.
  3. Subscription Refunds
    • Service Failure: If End Users experience a genuine service failure during a subscription period (e.g., lockers are consistently inaccessible), we will provide a refund for that affected cycle.
    • Non-Usage: If an End User subscribes but never uses any lockers during the current billing cycle, they may request a refund for that cycle. Past billing cycles are non-refundable.
    • Cancellation Timing: Users may cancel at any time. The subscription will end on the last day of the current billing cycle, with no pro-rata refunds for partial periods already in progress.
  4. Refund Request Process
    • How to Request: End Users must submit a request via our official website contact form within 7 working days of the incident or issue.
    • Time to Process: We aim to process refund requests within 14 days of receiving all necessary information.
    • Method of Refund: Refunds are typically made to the original payment method (credit card, mobile payment, etc.).
  5. Exceptions & Limitations
    • Misuse or Violation: If lockers are misused or our Terms of Service are violated, refunds may be denied.
    • After the 7-Day Reporting Window: Requests submitted after 7 working days of the incident may not be eligible.

3. Refunds for Business Clients (B2B)

  1. Monthly Licence Fees: Our licence fees for Clients (per lock, per month) are non-refundable. Once a billing cycle has begun, we do not offer partial or full refunds unless required by law.
  2. Early Termination: If a Client decides to terminate their contract before the end of the agreed term, no refunds or credits will be issued for any remaining period.
  3. Revenue Sharing & Refund Adjustments: We issue refunds directly to End Users in eligible cases (see Section 2), then deduct the refunded amounts from any revenue to be shared with the Client. This ensures End Users are kept whole while the Client remains responsible for hardware or other issues within their control.
  4. Pilot or Trial Periods: If a Client is participating in a pilot or trial integration, any applicable fees or credits are subject to the specific terms outlined in the pilot agreement. Generally, if no fees are charged during the trial, no refunds apply.
  5. Cooling-Off Period: Standard UK or EU consumer laws do not apply to purely B2B transactions. We do not offer a statutory “cooling-off” period for Clients unless explicitly stated in the contract. For Clients who engage in a pilot or trial, the terms for cancellation or exit are defined in that specific agreement.

4. Additional Terms & Legal Compliance

  1. Compliance with UK & EU Regulations: We fully comply with applicable consumer protection and e-commerce regulations in the UK and relevant consumer protection laws in the EU for End Users located in those regions.
  2. Reporting Timeline: End Users are advised to report any refund claim within 7 working days. Claims outside of this window may be rejected.
  3. Fraudulent Claims: We reserve the right to investigate any suspicious or potentially fraudulent claims. If we determine a claim is fraudulent, no refund will be issued, and the user’s account may be terminated.
  4. Limitations of Liability: Nothing in this Policy limits or excludes liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under applicable law (e.g., liability for personal injury, negligence, or willful misconduct).

5. How to Request a Refund or Cancellation

  1. End Users: Submit your refund or cancellation request via our official website contact form. Provide relevant details (account info, date/time of locker booking, subscription details, and a brief description of the issue).
  2. Business Clients: Contact your Lockngo account manager or email contact@locknogo.io. Include your company name, contract details, and reason for cancellation or refund request.
  3. Processing Time: We generally respond to requests within 5 working days and complete eligible refunds within 14 days.
