Refund Policy
1. Overview
Instant~Documents aims to provide reliable and high-quality document automation services.
Because our documents become legally usable once any recipient has signed, this policy explains when refunds can and cannot be provided.
By purchasing or using our service, you agree to this Refund Policy.
2. Key Refund Principle (Signature-Based)
Our service is considered fulfilled once any recipient has received the document for signing.
Refunds may be available before any recipient signs. You may request a refund in cases such as:
- Duplicate purchase
- Document not yet sent for signing
- Technical issues preventing document generation or delivery
Once a document has been sent to a recipient or the signing provider has processed it, the order is considered fulfilled.
Partial refunds may be considered if the wording is substantially unsuitable due to technical or system issues, but not for simple change of mind.
This prevents misuse such as:
- Copying or reusing document content
- Requesting a refund after receiving full benefit
3. Refund Window
Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of purchase and before any recipient signs.
Requests made after the signing link is sent are generally not eligible for full refunds, except in exceptional circumstances (see Section 8).
4. Refund Request Process
To request a refund:
- Email support@instant-documents.com
- Include:
- Name
- Order number
- Email used at checkout
- Specify:
- Document sent status
- Any recipient views or signatures
- Optional: attach screenshots or evidence of issue
We will acknowledge your request within 2 business days.
5. Refund Determination Criteria
We assess refund requests based on:
- Document usage status (sent / viewed / signed)
- Whether any recipient has signed
- Technical/system errors caused by us
- Time since purchase
- Compliance with Terms & Conditions
6. Partial vs Full Refunds
| Refund Type | When Applicable |
|---|---|
| Full Refund | Request before document sent or signed, duplicate payment, or technical failure |
| Partial Refund | Wording or document issue caused by system or template error before signing |
| No Refund | Document sent to recipient, any recipient signed, or order completed |
7. Non-Refundable Scenarios
Refunds are not available for:
- Change of mind after document has been sent
- Document copied or used without authorization

- Documents already signed by any recipient
- Payment processor fees that are non-reversible
8. Exceptional Circumstances
We may consider a refund, credit, or replacement if:

These are reviewed case by case.
