Clear assessment, no automatic assumptions

Raise a cancellation or refund question with the full project context.

Cancellation rights, fees, refunds and treatment of completed work depend on the applicable written agreement, project stage, authorised commitments and governing law. This page explains how to request an assessment; it does not promise an automatic refund or cancellation. Non-excludable statutory and consumer rights remain unaffected.

Why it matters

Agreement and scope

Locate the accepted proposal, terms, variations and any cancellation provisions applying to the work.

CHAPTER 01 / Before requesting

Collect the documents and identify the decision you want reviewed.

01.1

Agreement and scope

Locate the accepted proposal, terms, variations and any cancellation provisions applying to the work.

01.2

Project reference

Identify the relevant project, phase, invoice or service without sending unnecessary sensitive information.

01.3

Requested outcome

State whether you want work paused, a future phase cancelled, an ongoing service ended or a payment reviewed.

01.4

Reason and timing

Explain the reason for the request and when the circumstances arose, particularly where the timing affects committed work or costs.

CHAPTER 02 / Project stage matters

Cancellation can affect work already done and commitments already made.

02.1

Before work begins

The assessment considers the accepted agreement, any reserved capacity, setup activity and costs already authorised.

02.2

During a phase

Completed work, work in progress, approvals, committed suppliers and the safest stopping point may need to be identified.

02.3

Between phases

A later unapproved phase may be treated differently from work already accepted or expressly authorised.

02.4

After delivery

A concern about agreed behaviour may belong in support or warranty assessment rather than being treated automatically as cancellation.

02.5

Ongoing service

Notice, renewal, billing and transition obligations depend on the applicable service arrangement and external supplier terms.

CHAPTER 03 / What may be considered

The assessment separates value delivered, future work and unavoidable costs.

03.1

Work completed

Research, planning, content, design, development, configuration, meetings, testing and other agreed work may carry value before a public launch exists.

03.2

Work authorised and underway

Partly completed activity and commitments made in reliance on approval may need to be accounted for.

03.3

Reusable and non-reusable material

The agreement and circumstances determine what can be handed over, licensed, transferred or reasonably reused.

03.4

Third-party costs

Domains, software, media, suppliers, subscriptions, hardware and transaction charges may be governed by separate refund or cancellation rules.

03.5

Legal entitlement

Applicable statutory rights and remedies are considered independently of any discretionary commercial outcome.

CHAPTER 04 / Assessment path

Request, acknowledge, review, calculate and respond.

04.1

1. Submit the request

Use the contact route and identify the project, requested outcome and reason.

04.2

2. Confirm the effective point

Clarify whether work should pause while the request is reviewed and who has authority to make that instruction.

04.3

3. Review the record

Consider the agreement, approvals, delivered work, in-progress work, invoices, external commitments and relevant law.

04.4

4. Explain the result

State the assessed outcome, any amount or balance, materials or access affected, and remaining steps.

04.5

5. Complete the transition

Where applicable, confirm cessation, handover, account treatment, data handling and any continuing third-party responsibility.

CHAPTER 05 / Deposits and milestones

Labels alone do not decide the outcome.

A deposit, milestone or advance payment is considered in the context of the written terms, work and commitments it relates to, and applicable law. This page does not declare every payment refundable or non-refundable. Any approved refund, credit, balance or further amount must be explained for the actual project.

05.1

Purpose

Identify what the payment was intended to authorise or cover.

05.2

Progress

Identify the work performed and evidence produced by the relevant point.

05.3

Commitments

Identify external costs or reserved work incurred under the agreement.

05.4

Applicable rights

Apply the contract and governing law to the confirmed facts rather than relying only on the payment label.

CHAPTER 06 / Third-party services

Ending a GA project may not automatically end an external account.

Domains, hosting, software, advertising, payment services, subscriptions, stock media and other suppliers may be contracted in the client's name or under separate terms. The cancellation response should identify who controls each relevant account and what action, notice, export or payment remains.

06.1

Client-held account

The client may need to change, retain or cancel the service directly with the supplier.

06.2

GA-managed arrangement

Any transition or termination follows the applicable agreement and supplier conditions.

06.3

Data or asset export

Availability, format, licence and timing depend on the platform, access and agreed handover responsibilities.

CHAPTER 07 / Rights and disputes

The general guide does not replace the law or the agreed resolution path.

Nothing here is intended to remove rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded. If the parties disagree, the applicable agreement may provide a notice or dispute process. Keep communications factual, preserve relevant records and identify the precise matter that remains unresolved.

07.1

Ask for reasons

A response should explain the basis of the assessment in the context of the available record.

07.2

Correct the record

Provide relevant missing documents or identify a factual misunderstanding promptly.

07.3

Use the applicable pathway

Follow any notice, escalation or dispute procedure in the agreement while retaining applicable legal rights.

Questions worth resolving

What to clarify before committing.

Can I cancel a project?
The available cancellation path and its consequences depend on the applicable written agreement, project stage, authorised commitments and law. Submit the request promptly so the context can be assessed.
Will I receive a refund?
A refund is not automatic. The assessment may consider the written terms, work completed, work underway, payments, third-party costs and any applicable statutory entitlement.
What happens to work already created?
Handover, ownership, licences, access and reuse depend on the agreement, payment position, material involved and applicable law. The outcome should be stated in the cancellation response.
Does this policy affect my consumer rights?
No. Nothing on this page is intended to exclude, restrict or replace rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Request a review

Identify the project, the requested outcome and the relevant timing.

The written agreement, work record, external commitments and applicable law can then be considered together before an outcome is stated.
