6. Special Circumstances
6.1 Loan Rejection
Important: We do not guarantee loan approval. If your loan application is rejected by lenders, this does not automatically entitle you to a refund. Our services include advisory, documentation, and facilitation, which are provided regardless of the final lending decision.
However, if rejection occurs due to our error or negligence in documentation or application submission, we will review the case and may provide a partial or full refund at our discretion.

Do not qualify for refunds. We will continue to work on your case and provide updates.

Refund requests submitted after this period may not be considered, except in exceptional circumstances at our sole discretion.
