2. Paddle as Merchant of Record

iQLABS uses Paddle.com Market Ltd (“Paddle”) as our Merchant of Record. Paddle:

  • Processes all payments for iQLABS products
  • Issues invoices and receipts
  • Calculates, collects, and remits VAT, GST, and other sales taxes
  • Supports billing enquiries and, where appropriate, refunds

3. Products covered by this policy

  • iQWEB — Website diagnostics, scoring, and reporting
  • PropertyIQ (planned) — Property diagnostics
  • Any future paid subscriptions, credit packs, or add-ons under iQLABS

4. Subscriptions

Some products are offered on a recurring subscription basis.

  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
  • Features, limits, and pricing are shown on product pricing pages (e.g. iqweb.ai/pricing).
  • You can cancel via the Paddle “Manage Subscription” link in your receipt email.
  • Cancelling stops future billing but does not automatically trigger refunds.

5. Credit packs

  • Credit packs are one-off purchases and are not subscriptions.
  • Credits generally do not expire while your account remains active.
  • Credits cannot be refunded once used to perform scans or generate reports.

6. Pricing and changes

  • Pricing may change over time.
  • Price changes do not affect past invoices already paid.
  • For renewing subscriptions, you will receive reasonable notice of price changes where required by law.

7. Taxes

Paddle calculates and remits VAT/GST and any other required sales taxes.

  • Taxes appear at checkout when legally required.
  • Paddle receipts will show tax breakdowns.

8. Refunds

We stand behind our products with a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If you believe your purchased report does not deliver clear value or actionable insight, you may request a refund within 14 days of purchase.

Refunds may also be issued if:

  • A technical issue prevents you from accessing your report and cannot be resolved in reasonable time
  • You were charged by mistake (for example, a duplicate charge)
  • Applicable consumer laws in your region grant you a right to a refund

Refunds are generally not available if:

  • You have generated a report and the credits have been consumed, unless the report fails to provide clear value or actionable insight
  • You decide not to continue using the service without a statutory basis for a refund

All refunds are processed via Paddle’s Buyer Protection policies and applicable consumer laws.

9. How to request a refund

To request a refund within the 14-day guarantee period:

  • Use the “View Order” or “Manage Subscription” link in your Paddle receipt email, or
  • Email with your order email and Paddle Order ID

10. Failed payments

  • Paddle may retry failed subscription payments automatically.
  • Your account may be paused or downgraded until payment succeeds.

11. Currency & exchange rates

Paddle may charge in your local currency. Bank conversion fees (if any) are your responsibility.

12. Consumer rights

Nothing in this policy overrides your rights under applicable consumer protection laws.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy periodically. Updated versions will include an updated “Last updated” date.
