Refund Policy

Refunds and cancellations.

Because IOTA provides custom research, strategy, implementation, and time-reserved services, refund eligibility depends on the project type and stage.

Audits, research, and strategy

Payments for audits, keyword research, strategy reviews, and similar research-based services are refundable only before work begins. Once research, review, analysis, or drafting has started, payments are non-refundable.

Implementation projects

Deposits for implementation projects are non-refundable once work begins. If a client cancels mid-project, the client remains responsible for completed work and time reserved up to the cancellation date.

Monthly retainers

Monthly retainers are billed in advance and are non-refundable once the billing period begins. Future billing can be cancelled with written notice before the next billing date.

Client delays

If a client delays access, assets, approvals, or feedback, the project timeline may pause or extend. Client delays do not automatically qualify for a refund.

No guaranteed outcomes

Refunds are not provided solely because a client does not achieve a specific ranking, revenue target, sales outcome, traffic level, or business result.

Billing concerns

Clients should contact IOTA first to resolve billing concerns before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute.
