Customer cancels before design starts
The 50% advance is refunded in full because Zainur has not started the agreed design work.
How payment, deposits, renewals, cancellations and refunds work when you order a Zainur invitation website.
Last updated: 23 August 2026This policy explains Zainur's 50% advance payment, final balance, renewals, cancellations and refunds. Our goal is simple: customers should understand what they are paying for, and Zainur should never keep money for work or services that were not fairly provided. Please read this together with our Terms of Service.
Zainur does not currently use an online payment gateway. Payment is made by direct bank transfer or cash deposit using account details shared privately after your order is confirmed. We do not ask for card numbers, banking passwords, PINs or OTPs. Your bank processes the transfer on its own systems.
A 50% advance payment is required before Zainur starts design or personalisation work. The advance confirms the order and allows work to begin.
After you receive the final preview and approve it, the remaining 50% is due before the invitation is published. We will not publish the final invitation until the agreed balance is received, unless Zainur has agreed to a different arrangement in writing.
The total package price, 50% advance amount and remaining balance will be confirmed in writing before you transfer money. No hidden deposit percentage or payment charge will be added later.
After transferring payment, send the payment reference number or a clear photo of the deposit slip through WhatsApp. Zainur verifies each payment manually and confirms receipt. Please allow a reasonable amount of time for verification, especially outside normal working hours. We will never ask you to send a banking password, PIN or OTP as proof of payment.
Your package price covers the template, personalisation, the agreed number of correction rounds, and hosting for the period stated in your package. The following are not included unless your package specifically says so, and may involve an additional cost:
You can ask to cancel, postpone or change an order by contacting Zainur through WhatsApp or email. We will look at the stage of the work and apply the rules below fairly rather than using a hidden cancellation charge.
A postponement is not automatically treated as a cancellation. Where reasonably possible, Zainur will move the existing invitation to the new event date. Normal changes to the date, time and venue can be made within the existing design. A major redesign, a different event, or substantial new content may involve an additional charge, which will be explained before extra work begins.
If the event itself is cancelled, the refund depends on how much work has already been completed. Before work starts, the advance is refunded in full. After work starts, Zainur may retain only a reasonable amount for work already completed and any non-recoverable third-party cost that was agreed with you in advance. If the invitation has already been completed or published, amounts paid for completed work are generally not refundable, but you can ask us to remove the website early.
We want refunds to follow the actual work and service provided. The following rules are our normal approach:
The 50% advance is refunded in full because Zainur has not started the agreed design work.
Zainur will calculate what work has actually been completed. We may retain a reasonable amount for that completed work and any non-recoverable third-party cost agreed in advance, and refund the remaining amount. We will explain the calculation to you.
If Zainur is unable to complete and deliver the agreed invitation, money paid for the undelivered service will be refunded. If no usable final invitation has been delivered, the amount paid for that order will be refunded in full.
If the final preview has been approved but the remaining 50% is not paid or the customer stops responding, publication is paused. Zainur will keep the project available for at least 30 days from our last follow-up. Because the design work has already been completed and approved, the 50% advance is not refundable at that stage. The order may later be resumed subject to Zainur's availability.
We will normally move the invitation to the new date rather than cancel the order. Ordinary date, time and venue changes within the same design do not create a new order. Major redesigns or a different event will be quoted before any extra work.
The refund follows the stage of work: full refund before design starts; a fair partial refund after work starts; and no refund for work already fully completed and approved. If the site is already online, you can ask for early removal.
After we verify the duplicate payment, the extra amount will be refunded in full. Zainur will not keep a duplicate payment as credit unless you specifically ask us to do so.
Where reasonably possible, a refund will be returned to the same payer or bank account from which the payment was received. Zainur will confirm the amount and method with you. Bank processing times are outside our control.
If the 50% advance is not received, Zainur will not start the order. If the final 50% is not received after preview approval, publication will be paused. If the customer stops responding, we may archive the project after the holding period described above. We will not add an undisclosed late-payment penalty.
Every published Zainur invitation includes hosting until six months after the event date, or six months after the final listed event for a multi-event invitation. To keep the existing invitation online after that period, you can renew it for LKR 1,000 for one additional year. Renewal is optional and is not charged automatically. It keeps the same invitation online and does not include a redesign, a new event, major content changes, extra storage or custom-domain renewal.
Questions about an advance, balance payment, cancellation or refund are welcome. If there is a payment mistake, contact us as soon as possible so we can check it.
