Cancellation & Refund Policy

Last updated: September 2026 • Effective globally for all ZetaQR plans and dynamic QR subscriptions

14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Full 100% refund on Pro and Business paid subscription plans if requested within 14 calendar days of your initial upgrade or renewal charge.

Print Continuity Protection

Cancelling your plan never immediately breaks your active printed QR codes. Links route to your designated fallback destination with 30-day archival notice.

Zero Cancellation Penalties

Cancel your recurring subscription anytime directly from your dashboard. There are zero cancellation fees, lock-in clauses, or early termination penalties.

Prompt Bank Remittance

Approved refunds are remitted to your original payment gateway within 1–2 business days and appear in your bank account within 5–10 business days.

1. Overview & Customer Commitment

At ZetaQR ("ZetaQR", "we", "us", or "our"), we are dedicated to providing enterprise-grade dynamic QR code generation, branded short links, digital destination experiences, and real-time scan analytics. We stand firmly behind the performance, reliability, and edge-routing latency of our platform.

We believe that billing policies should be completely transparent, simple to understand, and free of hidden conditions. This Cancellation & Refund Policy outlines your rights regarding subscription cancellations, money-back guarantees, refund eligibility criteria, and our signature print continuity protections.

Current Platform Status (Pre-December 1st): ZetaQR is currently 100% free for all registered users until December 1st, 2026. All dynamic QR codes, branded short links, and scan analytics features are free without requiring payment credentials. Standard paid subscription tiers will commence on December 1st, 2026, accompanied by full 14-day refund protection.

2. The ZetaQR 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

We want you to explore and integrate ZetaQR with complete confidence. Every new paid subscription tier—including both monthly and annual commitments for the Pro and Business plans—is accompanied by our comprehensive 14-day money-back guarantee.

Guarantee Terms & Eligibility

  • Coverage Window: You may request a full 100% refund within 14 calendar days from the date and timestamp of your initial plan upgrade or automatic renewal charge.
  • No Questions Required: If ZetaQR does not fulfill your dynamic routing, CMYK print export, custom domain, or team workflow requirements, we will refund your payment in full.
  • Monthly & Annual Plans: The 14-day refund window applies equally to both monthly and annual subscription agreements.
  • Full Payment Reversal: The refund will cover the entire amount billed for the applicable subscription cycle, issued back to the original funding source.

3. Physical Print Continuity & QR Preservation Policy

One of the greatest fears for any marketer, restaurant operator, or packaging manufacturer is that cancelling software might suddenly cause printed QR codes on physical items to fail, showing an ugly 404 error to customers.

At ZetaQR, we adhere to a strict Physical Print Protection Policy:

  • No Sudden Scan Dead-Ends: If you cancel your subscription or receive a refund, your previously printed dynamic QR codes will not abruptly stop working or display broken-link error screens to customers.
  • Fallback Routing: Active codes will route to your designated primary fallback destination or the last configured URL in your workspace.
  • 30-Day Advance Archival Notice: If an account downgrade requires archiving excess dynamic codes beyond the free Starter allowance, you will receive at least 30 days of written email notice before any inactive links are transitioned, giving you full control over your physical collateral.
  • Asset Ownership: Any high-resolution raster or vector files (SVG, EPS, PDF) generated and downloaded during your active subscription remain yours to keep and use forever.

4. Plan-Specific Cancellation & Refund Guidelines

A. Starter Tier (Free Forever)

The Starter plan includes 2 active dynamic QR codes, 500 scans per month, and 30-day analytics at zero cost forever. No credit card is collected, and no charges are incurred.

B. Pro & Business Monthly Subscriptions

Monthly subscriptions are billed in advance every 30 days. You may cancel at any time from your account settings. If cancelled within the first 14 days of a billing cycle, you are eligible for a full refund upon request. If cancelled after 14 days, your service remains active until the end of that current paid monthly cycle, and no further automatic renewals will occur.

C. Pro & Business Annual Subscriptions

Annual subscriptions offer significant savings (up to 20%) and are billed as a single upfront charge covering 12 months. If you request a cancellation within 14 calendar days of your initial purchase or annual renewal, you will receive a 100% full refund. For cancellation requests submitted after the initial 14 days, your subscription will remain active with full access through the conclusion of the 12-month period, and auto-renewal will be disabled.

D. Enterprise Custom Agreements

Enterprise plans with custom high-volume scan allowances, dedicated Anycast IP subnets, bespoke API development, SAML SSO integration, and custom Master Services Agreements (MSAs) are governed by the specific cancellation and SLA terms negotiated in the executed enterprise contract.

5. Non-Refundable Circumstances & Exceptions

To prevent fraudulent misuse and ensure platform integrity, refunds cannot be granted under the following circumstances:

  • Acceptable Use Policy Violations: Accounts terminated, suspended, or restricted due to deceptive redirection, phishing, malware delivery, fraudulent financial schemes, unsolicited spam campaigns, or illegal content strictly forfeit all refund eligibility.
  • Requests After 14 Days: Refund requests submitted after the 14-calendar-day guarantee window has lapsed are not eligible for retroactive refunds, though recurring billing will be stopped immediately upon cancellation.
  • Physical Print & Manufacturing Costs: ZetaQR provides vector files (SVG/EPS) and print-dimension guidelines with Level H error correction. However, ZetaQR is a software platform and cannot reimburse physical printing, packaging, billboard, or material costs incurred through third-party vendors.
  • Custom Engineering Fees: One-time onboarding setup fees or dedicated custom engineering services contracted for enterprise accounts are non-refundable once work has commenced.
