Refund & Cancellation Policy

Effective Date: October 26, 2026

Applied Digital Solutions LLC maintains clear, transparent policies regarding service fees, milestone cancellations, and refund eligibility for all software architecture consulting packages.

SECTION 01

1. Architecture Assessment ($500)

The Architecture Assessment is a rapid-turnaround technical infrastructure review. Cancellation requests received in writing prior to the initial discovery and codebase audit kick-off meeting are eligible for a full refund minus a 5% administrative payment processing fee. Once the assessment commences and technical review begins, fees are non-refundable due to dedicated engineering hours expended.

SECTION 02

2. Technical Architecture Blueprint ($1,500)

Engagements for the Technical Architecture Blueprint are structured into two distinct delivery phases: (a) Discovery & System Structure Planning, and (b) Blueprint & Roadmap Documentation. Client may cancel prior to commencement of Phase 2, in which case the Phase 2 allocation (50% of package fee) is refunded. Upon completion and delivery of the final implementation roadmap, the package fee is non-refundable.

SECTION 03

3. FinTech Product Architecture ($3,000)

This package is billed across milestone phases: Milestone 1 (Backend Architecture & API Integration Planning, 50%) and Milestone 2 (Data Flows, Security Specs & Technical Documentation, 50%). If written cancellation is submitted prior to commencement of Milestone 2, Client is not billed for Milestone 2. Completed and delivered milestone documentation is non-refundable.

SECTION 04

4. Complete Enterprise Architecture ($5,000)

Enterprise architecture engagements are delivered across three formal milestones: System & Cloud Infrastructure Planning (40%), Enterprise Integration & Scalability Design (30%), and Implementation Documentation Binder (30%). Cancellation notices take effect prior to the subsequent milestone kickoff. Work delivered under previous milestones remains the property of Client and is non-refundable.

SECTION 05

5. Cancellation Submission Process

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email to AppliedDigitalSolutions@proton.me or mailed to Applied Digital Solutions LLC, 4150 Paseo Blvd Apt 301S, Kansas City, MO 64110, USA. Approved refunds are processed via the original payment method within seven (7) business days.
