Refund Policy

Version 1.0 Β· Last updated 1 October 2026 Β· Part of the Terms of Service

This policy defines exactly when and how Koala Service refunds the fee paid for a Supplier Search Report (AUD $499). Each clause states a trigger, a remedy and a timeline.

T1 β€” Fewer than 3 suppliers meeting the agreed criteria β†’ full refund

Trigger: the delivered report contains fewer than three (3) suppliers meeting the criteria agreed with you before work began β€” for example, a genuine business licence verifiable against an official registry, demonstrable capacity in your product category, and willingness to quote in writing.

Remedy: full refund of the report fee. If we discover the shortfall during production, we refund automatically within 5 business days β€” no claim needed.

T2 β€” Delivered more than 48 hours late β†’ your choice

Trigger: the report arrives more than 48 hours after the delivery clock starts (confirmed brief; Australian eastern business days; public holidays pause the clock).

Remedy β€” you choose: (a) a full refund, or (b) free express re-delivery within 24 hours. If the re-delivery is also late, the refund applies automatically.

T3 β€” Material factual error from our verification β†’ correction or refund

Trigger: within 7 days of delivery, you point out in writing a material factual error resulting from our verification process β€” a claim checkable against an objective source and shown to be wrong (e.g. a licence status that does not match the official registry).

Not covered: differences of professional judgment (such as which supplier is "best"), indicative prices that moved with the market, or anything explicitly labelled as an estimate.

Remedy: we provide a free written correction within 3 business days. If the error cannot be corrected, we refund the fee.

How refunds are paid

  • To the original payment method, in the original currency.
  • Within 5 business days of the refund decision.
  • No fees deducted β€” you receive the full amount paid.

Not refundable

  • Change of mind after the report has been delivered to specification.
  • Errors in your brief β€” the search was performed correctly against the brief you confirmed, but the brief itself was wrong or incomplete.
  • Post-report market movements β€” prices in the report are indicative ranges at the report date, not live quotes.
