You can request a refund for a property file or LIM:
- in writing
- within three months of placing your order.
We grant refunds based on:
- when you ordered the property file or LIM
- when you cancelled the order
- whether you ordered a standard, commercial or urgent service
- whether your order arrives late.
We may make exceptions depending on the case.
When you can get a refund
You may get a refund if you cancel your order or if your order arrives late. We may charge you a cancellation fee.
For information about cancellation fees and how to cancel an order, visit:
Standard or commercial service refunds
If you cancel your standard or commercial service order:
- within 24 hours of ordering: we will give you a full refund
- more than 24 hours after ordering: we will charge you the cancellation fee and refund the rest.
Urgent service refunds
If you cancel your urgent service order:
- within 24 hours of ordering: we will give you a full refund
- more than 24 hours after ordering: we cannot cancel or refund your order.
Property files or LIMs that arrive late
You may get a refund if your order arrives late.
If an urgent service order takes:
- more than 3 working days: we will refund the difference between the urgent fee and standard fee. This means you will only pay the standard fee.
- more than 10 working days: we will refund 10% of the standard fee for every day that it is delayed.
If a standard or commercial service order takes more than 10 working days, we will refund 10% of the fee you paid for every day that it is delayed.
We may apply a 100% refund for orders that are delayed by 20 working days or more.
