    • If Offshore Companies Online has not been successful in the completion of final entity registration/s and/or the establishment of banking facilities on behalf of the Client with its Vendor due to the Client’s failure to provide requested due diligence documents or sign any required Vendor forms or agreements within a reasonable timeframe.
    • Any other reason not deemed to be due to Offshore Companies Online willful negligence.
  4. Conditions for Refund: To initiate a refund, Clients must notify Offshore Companies Online in writing of the unsuccessful onboarding within 30 days of the payment date of the invoice. The refund will be processed promptly upon verification of the stated circumstances.
  5. Willful Negligence Exclusion: Refunds will not be provided in cases where the failure to onboard is a result of the Client’s willful negligence, intentional misconduct, or violation of the terms and conditions outlined during the onboarding process.
