Refund Policy
1. Scope & Principles
This Refund Policy governs the conditions under which UPVIS GROUP LLC ("UpVision", "we") may issue refunds for services purchased on upvision.fr. This policy is an integral part of the CGV.
Our refund policy is built on three contractual guarantees committing UpVision to specific, opposable obligations. These guarantees go beyond a marketing statement, they are clauses you may invoke in writing if the corresponding trigger occurs.
Customer satisfaction principle. Beyond the three guarantees below, UpVision adopts a customer-first approach: any reasonable claim made in good faith will be reviewed in good faith. We aim to resolve every dispute amicably before any chargeback or legal action.
2. The Three Contractual Guarantees
If the metric obtained drops by more than 10% over any 30-day rolling period following campaign completion, UpVision will apply free recharges upon written request to contact@upvision.fr until the metric returns to the guaranteed level.
If the campaign has not been activated within twelve (12) hours following payment confirmation (excluding force majeure events), the Client is entitled to a full refund upon written request sent to contact@upvision.fr. No justification required.
UpVision will never request the Client's account password or login credentials. If such credentials are ever requested by any UpVision representative, the Client is entitled to immediate cancellation and full refund, with reasonable additional compensation considered case by case.
3. Beyond the Three Guarantees, Discretionary Refunds
UpVision may, at its sole discretion, issue partial or full refunds in the following additional cases:
- Documented technical failure on UpVision's side preventing campaign delivery;
- Duplicate order due to payment error;
- Cancellation request received before campaign activation begins (typically within minutes of order placement);
- Any other case where good-faith review justifies a refund.
These discretionary refunds are not contractual rights but evidence of UpVision's customer-first commitment.
4. Non-Refundable Situations
Refunds will not be granted in the following situations:
- The Client modified, deleted, or rendered private the target account or content during campaign activation, in violation of Terms of Sale §7;
- The Client provided incorrect target information (wrong URL, wrong account);
- The Client violated the CGU, in particular the prohibited conduct clauses;
- The campaign was successfully delivered as described, and the Client's request is solely based on dissatisfaction with results outside UpVision's documented commitments (e.g., third-party algorithm behavior, monetization outcomes);
- The Client initiated a chargeback before contacting UpVision support (cf. §7 below);
- The third-party platform suspended or banned the Client's account for reasons unrelated to UpVision's service (e.g., independent violations of platform terms by the Client).
5. Refund Request Process
To submit a refund request, follow these steps:
- Send a written request to contact@upvision.fr with subject line "Refund Request, Order #[your order ID]";
- Include in the request: your order ID, date of purchase, payment method used, reason for refund, and which guarantee (1, 2, or 3) you are invoking, if any;
- Attach supporting evidence if relevant (screenshots, communication logs);
- Receive acknowledgment within 2 business days;
- Receive decision within 7 business days for routine requests, up to 14 business days for complex cases.
6. Refund Timeline & Method
| Payment method | Refund channel | Processing time (post-approval) |
|---|---|---|
| Credit/debit card (Visa, Mastercard) | Reversal to original card | 5–10 business days |
| Other methods | Determined case-by-case | 5–15 business days |
Total processing time from approval to refund settlement on the Client's account typically ranges from 5 to 15 business days, depending on payment method and intermediary banks.
7. Chargeback Policy
UpVision strongly encourages Clients to contact our support before initiating a chargeback with their card issuer. Most disputes can be resolved within 7 business days through direct communication.
Unwarranted chargebacks (chargebacks filed without prior contact with our support and not justified by the present Refund Policy) may result in:
- Documented dispute of the chargeback by UpVision with the issuing bank, including delivery proof and communication logs;
- Suspension of any future service for the Client;
- Where applicable, recovery proceedings for the disputed amount and associated chargeback fees.
UpVision does not engage in chargeback abuse and treats every dispute with diligence. Our internal chargeback ratio is monitored and maintained below industry thresholds.
8. Force Majeure Exceptions
Activation delays caused by force majeure (third-party platform outages, mass algorithmic events, government action, internet infrastructure failure, natural disasters, etc.) do not trigger Guarantee 2 (12h activation). In such cases, UpVision will inform the Client by email and offer either:
- Postponement of campaign activation until the force majeure event ends;
- Full refund without applying Guarantee 2 conditions (at the Client's choice).
9. Consumer Rights Notice
This Refund Policy does not affect mandatory consumer protection rights under applicable law, including but not limited to:
- The Terms of Sale §10 regarding right of withdrawal for EU consumers (note: limited for digital services already delivered);
- The right to lodge a complaint with consumer protection authorities;
- The right to use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
10. Modifications
This Refund Policy may be updated periodically. The version applicable to your order is the version in force at the time of order validation. Material updates will be notified by email to active Clients at least thirty (30) days before they take effect.
