Where services have been paid for in advance but have not been rendered, you will be entitled to a full refund from the date of cancellation for all such services.

Miscellaneous

  • As a consumer, you have the right to cancel a contract for the provision of goods or services at any time before 5 calendar days have passed from the day after the contract was made. Any such cancellations must be provided to us in writing. If we have already started fulfilling our side of the contract, before you exercise your right to cancel, the right to cancel is lost.

Price of goods and services.

Every effort is made to ensure that all prices are correct; however, in the event of serious error, any transaction shall be voided by us, entitling you to a full refund.

Continuous payment authority

  • Renewable services – fees due will be processed on the card originally used to purchase the service (or an alternative, if supplied) on the date of expiry. Notice will always be given in advance of the expiry date of our intention to take payment, and you will have the right to cancel the service.

Refund policy

Refunds

In the event you make a purchase of a product or service but change your mind – provided we have not already started working on providing the product or service, you will be entitled to a refund of all monies paid to us, provided the notice to cancel is given within 5 calendar days of the purchase date. A refund will not be given for cancellation requests after 5 calendar days from the date of purchase or where we have started working on providing the product or service.

Refunds covering inactive services: The customer agrees that where a service has been purchased and no further action has been taken by the customer for 12 months, the service will be treated as dormant or inactive. Smart Acc reserves the right to reduce or extend the inactivity period at any point. An incomplete service in this agreement is defined by:

  1. A tax return which has no submission receipt uploaded to the SA TaxReturn Profile profile
  2. A tax advice consultation without an accountant’s corresponding consultation summary uploaded to the SA TaxReturn Profile profile
  3. A UTR registration that does not have a UTR registration receipt uploaded to the SA TaxReturn Profile profile
  4. Bundled services – comprised of either (1) or (2) or both

In cases of inactive and incomplete services, the customer agrees to waive their rights to a refund and instead agrees that in lieu of a refund they’ll be credited with a discount equal to the cost of the purchased service at the time of the customer’s purchase. SA TaxReturn Profile will seek to notify the customer by email prior to this occurrence.
