Cancellation &
Refund Policy

Last updated: June 2025  ·  Effective immediately

Terra Noir operates on a voluntary "Pay What You Want" model. You choose the amount yourself — starting from ₹1 — so all payments are made with full awareness. We are fair and transparent about when refunds apply.

1. Nature of Payments

Payments made on this website are voluntary contributions to an independent artist. Because you choose the amount yourself with no pricing pressure, there are no surprise charges, hidden fees, subscriptions, or recurring payments of any kind.

3. Refund Policy — When Refunds Apply

As a general rule, completed voluntary contributions are non-refundable because you chose the amount yourself and digital files (once delivered) cannot be returned.

However, refunds will be processed in these situations:

Refunds are not applicable for: change of mind, voluntary contributions where the amount was chosen by the buyer, or after a digital file has been successfully delivered.

4. How to Request a Refund

5. Refund Processing Time

Once a refund is approved and initiated via Razorpay:

The refund always goes back to the original payment method used.

6. Failed Payments

If your payment failed (network error, bank decline, timeout) and an amount still appears debited, this is a temporary pre-authorization hold by your bank — not an actual charge. It auto-reverses within 5–7 business days. If it does not reverse, email us with your payment details and we will coordinate with Razorpay to resolve it.

7. Chargeback Policy

We strongly encourage contacting us directly before filing a chargeback with your bank. We maintain complete Razorpay transaction records and will cooperate fully with any bank dispute. Fraudulent chargebacks on genuine voluntary payments are taken seriously under applicable Indian law.
