Refunds
Last updated: May 2026
This page applies to studio engagements — strategy sprints, fixed-scope projects, and monthly retainers.
Phase one (Discover & Define) — free
Phase one is free. There's nothing to refund. If we decide together not to continue, you walk away with the scoped plan and we shake hands.
Fixed-scope projects
- Before kickoff: If we haven't started work yet (no design, no code, no strategy artifacts produced), you get a full refund of the deposit minus a 3% processing fee. Ask within 7 days of signing.
- After kickoff, before midpoint: Refund of 50% of the deposit. You keep everything we've shipped so far.
- After midpoint: No refund. We finish the engagement.
Monthly retainers
Cancellable any time with 30 days' notice. We don't pro-rate the current month, but the next month won't be billed.
How to request a refund
Email contact@alphaforyou.com with your project name and the reason. We confirm within 3 working days and refund within 14.
