Refunds & Returns Policy

Effective date: April 4, 2026  ·  Last updated: April 4, 2026

At Creative Growth Digital Marketing Agency, we pour real time, skill, and resources into every project we take on. Because of the nature of creative and digital services — where work begins the moment a project is confirmed — our refund policy reflects that reality honestly. We are firm where we need to be, and fair where it counts. If something goes wrong because of us, we will make it right. This policy explains exactly where those lines are.

01 Our commitment to you

Creative Growth is committed to delivering work that meets the agreed brief, scope, and quality standard for every project. We do not issue refunds as a routine response to dissatisfaction — but we do take quality seriously, and if a failure on our part has caused a genuine problem, we will work with you to find a fair resolution.

Before requesting a refund, we encourage you to raise your concern directly with us. Most issues can be resolved through an additional revision, a credit toward future work, or a direct conversation. Our goal is always to deliver something you’re proud of — not to win an argument about money.

02 Deposits

All deposits are non-refundable. A 50% deposit is required to confirm your booking and begin work. Once paid, this deposit covers pre-production activity — including planning, scheduling, call sheet preparation, location scouting, scripting, and equipment allocation — regardless of whether a camera has been picked up.

By paying your deposit, you are reserving Creative Growth’s time, equipment, and team for your project. That reservation has a real cost to us whether or not the project ultimately proceeds.

The only exception is where Creative Growth cancels your project for reasons entirely within our control — in which case your deposit will be refunded in full within 10 business days.

03 Refund eligibility by scenario

The table below outlines our position across the most common situations. Where a scenario is not listed, contact us and we will handle it fairly on a case-by-case basis.

Scenario Refund outcome Notes
Client cancels 7+ days before start date Deposit retained No further amount is owed by the client
Client cancels within 48 hours of start date Partial invoice possible Deposit retained; up to 75% of total fee may be invoiced for preparatory work completed
Client cancels on the day of, or after work starts No refund Full project fee may be invoiced at Creative Growth’s discretion
Deliverables approved and delivered No refund Written or implied approval (see Section 6) constitutes acceptance
Creative Growth fails to deliver as agreed Refund considered We will offer a re-do, credit, or partial/full refund depending on the situation
Delay caused by client (late assets, slow approvals) No refund Timeline adjusts accordingly; no financial liability on Creative Growth’s part
Force majeure (hurricane, illness, power outage) No refund Project is rescheduled at next available opportunity; deposit is applied to rescheduled date
Client dissatisfied but all revisions used Case by case Contact us — we will review the situation and respond within 5 business days
Social media retainer — cancellation mid-month No refund The current billing period runs to completion; service continues until the end of that period

04 Video production refunds

Pre-production

Pre-production fees are non-refundable. This includes all planning, scripting, shot list creation, call sheet preparation, location scouting, and crew or equipment allocation. This work begins as soon as your deposit is paid and your project is confirmed.

After filming

If a client cancels after filming has taken place, no refund is issued for the shoot portion of the fee. The editing portion may be eligible for a partial refund only if no editing has commenced and a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the shoot date — assessed at Creative Growth’s discretion.

After delivery

Once final edited content has been delivered and approved, no refunds are issued. If you have concerns about the final deliverable, please raise them within the revision window outlined in Section 6 before approving the project.

05 Content creation refunds

Content creation projects (short-form video, photography, graphics, and social media content) follow the same general structure:

  • Before creative work begins: Deposit is non-refundable; no further charge if the project is cancelled
  • After creative work begins: No refund on any portion of the fee; revision rounds apply
  • After delivery and approval: No refund is issued

For content packages delivered over multiple sessions (e.g. monthly content creation retainers), refunds will not be issued for sessions already completed. Future sessions in the package may be cancelled with 7 days’ written notice before the next session date, with no further charge for uncompleted sessions.

06 Social media management refunds

Social media management services are billed on a monthly retainer basis with a minimum 3-month commitment. The following applies:

  • Within the minimum contract period: No refunds are issued for any month that has begun. The retainer runs through the agreed minimum term
  • Cancellation mid-month: No refund for the current billing period. Service continues until the end of that period, after which it will not renew
  • Cancellation after the minimum period: Submit written notice at least 7 days before your next billing date. Your service will conclude at the end of the current billing period
  • Prepaid retainers: If you have prepaid multiple months in advance and wish to cancel, any unused full calendar months (not partially started) may be refunded at Creative Growth’s discretion
Cancellation requests submitted fewer than 7 days before the next billing date will take effect in the following billing cycle, not the current one. No exceptions can be made to this window as work and scheduling for the upcoming month will already be underway.

07 Revisions

Each project includes a set number of revision rounds as specified in your package or proposal. A revision round is defined as one set of consolidated, written feedback applied in a single pass — not multiple sequential rounds of individual changes.

  • Included revisions: As specified in your project package — typically 2–3 rounds
  • Additional revision rate: $75 USD per additional revision session, invoiced before work on that session begins
  • Revision window: All revision requests must be submitted in writing (email or WhatsApp) within 5 business days of receiving your draft or deliverable
  • After the revision window: Requests submitted after 5 business days may be declined or treated as a new project at Creative Growth’s discretion

A revision does not include fundamental changes to the agreed creative direction, format, or scope of the deliverable. Those requests are treated as new work and quoted separately.

Implied approval: If no revision request or written response is received within 5 business days of delivery, the deliverable is considered approved and accepted. The remaining balance will become due and no further revisions will be included.

08 When Creative Growth is at fault

We hold ourselves to a high standard. If a failure on our part — such as delivering work that materially does not match the agreed brief, missing an agreed deadline without communication, or a technical error that destroys work — has caused genuine harm, we will not hide behind a blanket “no refunds” policy.

In these situations, Creative Growth will offer one or more of the following, depending on the nature and severity of the issue:

  • Re-do at no charge: We redo the affected work at our cost, prioritised in our schedule
  • Service credit: A credit applied to future work with Creative Growth
  • Partial refund: A refund for the portion of the project directly affected by our error
  • Full refund: In cases of significant, unresolvable failure entirely attributable to Creative Growth

To be considered for a fault-based resolution, the concern must be raised in writing within 7 days of delivery. We will acknowledge your message within 2 business days and aim to reach a resolution within 10 business days.

09 How to request a refund or cancellation

All refund and cancellation requests must be submitted in writing. Here’s how:

1
Email us Send your request to [email protected] with the subject line: “Refund Request — [Your Project Name]”
2
Include the following Your full name, business name (if applicable), the service or project in question, the date of your booking or payment, and a clear explanation of your concern or reason for cancellation
3
We review and respond We will acknowledge your request within 2 business days and provide a full response within 5 business days. Complex cases may take up to 10 business days
4
Resolution and payment Where a refund is approved, it will be returned via the same method used for the original payment — cash or bank transfer — within 10 business days of the approval date

10 Accepted payment methods

Creative Growth currently accepts payment by:

  • Cash — for in-person transactions in Nassau, The Bahamas
  • Bank transfer — details provided on your invoice

Where a refund is approved, it will be returned via the same payment method used for the original transaction. Refunds to bank transfer are subject to standard banking processing times and may take 3–7 business days to appear in your account.

Creative Growth does not accept responsibility for delays caused by banking institutions once a refund transfer has been initiated from our end.

11 Chargebacks and payment disputes

If you have a concern about a payment, please contact us directly before initiating any formal dispute or chargeback with your bank. We are committed to resolving issues fairly and quickly — a direct conversation is almost always faster and more effective than a formal dispute process.

Initiating a chargeback or bank dispute without first contacting Creative Growth and allowing 10 business days for resolution will be treated as a breach of our agreement. Creative Growth reserves the right to respond with full documentation of the services delivered, provide this to the relevant financial institution, and pursue recovery of any costs incurred as a result of a fraudulent or premature dispute.

Clients who initiate chargebacks in bad faith may be declined for future services with Creative Growth.

12 Changes to this policy

Creative Growth reserves the right to update this Refunds and Returns Policy at any time. The updated policy will be posted on our website with a revised effective date. For active projects, the policy in effect at the time of your deposit payment applies to that project.

Have a concern? Talk to us first.

Most issues are resolved with a single conversation. We’d rather fix a problem than lose a client relationship over it.
