— Advantrix Legal Policy

Cancellation & Refund Policy

This policy outlines how cancellations, refund requests, and service adjustments are handled for Advantrix's paid advertising, campaign setup, creative development, and management services.

1. Scope of Policy

This policy applies to all paid media management, ad setup, creative asset creation, and technical services provided by Advantrix. Project scopes, fees, and cancellation terms are detailed in client agreements, subject to non-excludable rights under South African legislation including the Consumer Protection Act and ECTA.

2. Cancellation Before Work

Clients may request cancellation prior to project initiation by providing written notice to info@advantrix.co.za. Prepaid fees will be refunded in full if no work has commenced. Any retained fees strictly cover reasonable, documented, non-recoverable expenses legitimately incurred before cancellation.

3. Cancellation After Work

For cancellations submitted after work begins, Advantrix evaluates completed deliverables, active work in progress, and unrendered services. Refund calculations reflect agreed scope, delivered work, and statutory rights. Commencing work does not automatically eliminate client rights to request partial refunds for unperformed services.

4. Setup and Creative Fees

Setup and creative services involve research, technical tracking configuration, and ad design completed before campaigns launch. Retained fees correspond directly to work performed or costs legitimately incurred under the agreement and applicable law. Advantrix does not impose arbitrary non-refundable percentages or fixed penalties.

5. Ongoing Monthly Management

Cancellation notice periods, termination dates, and treatment of unused prepaid retainers for monthly ad management follow the accepted service agreement and South African law. Unearned prepaid management fees for periods following the effective termination date are handled in accordance with contractual and statutory rights.

6. Advertising Budget Allocation

Advantrix service fees are strictly separate from advertising spend paid directly to Meta, Google, or other platforms. Refunds for platform spend follow each platform's policies. Advantrix cannot directly refund funds paid to third-party platforms, though this does not limit accountability for Advantrix billing errors.

7. Service Concerns and Remedies

Clients encountering missing deliverables, setup errors, or service concerns should notify info@advantrix.co.za promptly. Appropriate remedies include correcting the service work, re-performing deliverables, or refunding an appropriate amount based on circumstances and statutory consumer rights under South African law.

8. Campaign Performance Factors

Ad performance depends on market demand, competitive dynamics, platform algorithms, and client offer strength. While specific sales or ROI targets cannot be guaranteed, Advantrix remains fully accountable for executing agreed campaign deliverables, technical setup, and professional ad management diligently.
