6. Factors beyond our control
FCS Filings cannot guarantee specific outcomes or timelines due to external factors, including:
- Delays or rejections from government authorities for legal, procedural, or unforeseen reasons;
- Technical issues or downtime on official platforms (e.g., MCA, Income Tax, FSSAI);
- Delays caused by third-party associates or entities beyond FCS Filings' operational control;
- Errors or omissions in the client’s submitted data that require re-submissions or clarifications.
These circumstances do not qualify for refunds as they fall beyond our control. Clients are encouraged to proactively monitor and address any additional requirements or follow-ups.
7. Force majeure
FCS Filings is not responsible for delays or interruptions caused by unforeseen events, including but not limited to:
- Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, droughts, landslides, or other catastrophic events;
- Acts of God, epidemics, pandemics, famines, or plagues;
- Regulatory changes, court orders, or other legal restrictions impacting service delivery;
- Civil unrest, war, terrorism, armed conflicts, labour strikes, lockouts, or boycotts;
- Power outages, technological failures, or infrastructural disruptions.
In the event of a Force Majeure event, all service commitments will be extended until the resolution of the disruption, and refunds will not be applicable for delays caused by such events.
8. For your attention
- FCS Filings will be held liable only if it is evident that we have failed to deliver our responsibilities with respect to your engagement.
- Refunds will not be entertained if the work has been completed with your approval or if you have been duly informed of the completion of the service.
- We retain the right to complete the service. Dissatisfaction with completed events will result in deductions for apportioned fees and non-refundable amounts (e.g., government fees and taxes).
- Pricing policies adhere to a standard framework. Any increase in government fees or additional costs due to rejections or re-filings shall be borne by the client.
- Delays caused by government approval processes, platform issues, or unforeseen events are not covered under this refund policy.
- Refunds cannot be claimed on the sole grounds of a change of mind or decision, as significant professional resources are allocated to your service request upon engagement.
