Cancellation & Refund Policy
Last updated: 19 August 2026
This policy applies to every paid plan on MARIA, operated by Oye Media, New Delhi, India. It forms part of our Terms of Use. The short version: you are never charged for analysis you did not receive, and you can leave at the end of any period without a conversation.
1. Free plan
The free allowance costs nothing, so there is nothing to cancel or refund. You can delete your account at any time and your data is purged within 30 days.
2. Failed analyses are never charged
If an investigation fails — the engine errors, a provider is unavailable, or the run never produces a report — it does not count against your allowance and you are not billed for it. This is enforced in the software, not by request: only completed runs are counted.
If you were somehow charged for a run that produced nothing, tell us and we will refund it in full. That case has no time limit.
3. Single investigation (₹399, one-off)
- Fully refundable, on request, any time before your first analysis run on the case completes. Nothing has been produced yet, so nothing has been consumed.
- Once a report has been produced, the purchase is not refundable — the analysis has been delivered, and the cost of producing it has been incurred.
- A single investigation gives 30 days of access. It does not renew and cannot lapse into a charge.
4. Monthly plans
- Cancel at any time by emailing us. There is no notice period and no cancellation fee.
- Your plan stays fully active until the end of the period you have paid for. Nothing is switched off early.
- When the period ends, the account returns to the free allowance. Every case, report and upload stays exactly where it is.
- Monthly plans are billed in advance and part-months are not refunded — if you cancel on day 6 of a 30-day period, the remaining 24 days are yours to use, not to reclaim.
5. Yearly plans
A yearly plan is billed as ten months, so cancelling mid-term is refunded against the months you have not yet started, at the plan’s effective monthly rate:
Worked example
You buy Pro yearly at ₹19,990 on 1 March. You cancel on 20 June. March, April, May and June are used or in progress. July to February is eight complete unused months. The refund is 8 × ₹1,666 = ₹13,328, less any payment-processing fee that cannot be recovered. The month in progress is not refunded, and part-months are not counted.
The effective monthly rate on a yearly plan (₹1,666) is lower than the monthly list price (₹1,999) — refunds are calculated at the rate you actually paid.
If you would rather keep access than take the money, say so — we will leave the plan running to the end of the term instead.
6. What is not refundable
- Investigations you did not use. Allowances are capacity, not credit, and they do not carry forward or convert back to money.
- A report you disagree with. MARIA produces a ranked, evidence-cited diagnosis with its uncertainty stated — a finding you consider wrong is a judgement call about probabilistic analysis, not an undelivered service. Send it to us anyway: a report that missed something is how the scoring model gets better, and if we agree the run was defective we will refund it.
- What Meta decides. No plan promises approval or reinstatement, so an ad rejected again after a report is not grounds for a refund.
- Expert reviews once the reviewer has begun work.
- Downgrades mid-period. The current period runs at the plan you bought; the new plan starts at the next period.
- Accounts we suspend or close for breaching the Terms of Use.
7. How to cancel or claim a refund
Email us
Write to support@oye.media from your registered email address with "Cancellation" or "Refund request" in the subject. Include the transaction ID if you have it.
We confirm within one business day
We will tell you the exact amount and the calculation behind it before processing anything.
Refunded to the original method
Refunds go back through Razorpay to the card or account you paid from, usually within 5–10 business days depending on your bank. We cannot refund to a different account.
8. Billing disputes
If a charge looks wrong, email us before raising a dispute with your bank. We can almost always settle a billing discrepancy faster than a chargeback, and a chargeback raised against a legitimate charge may suspend the account while it is investigated.
