How to Request a Cancellation

- Provide Service Details: Include details such as the service name, date of request, and reason for cancellation.

Service-Specific Cancellation Guidelines
Consultation Services
For consultations, cancellations must be requested at least 48 hours in advance. If you cancel late, you might incur a fee or might not receive a refund.
Legal Document Preparation
Clients can cancel the legal document preparation service at any time before the final document is sent for approval. However, once the draft has been completed and delivered, the service is considered fulfilled, and cancellations may no longer be accepted.
Ongoing Legal Representation
If you wish to cancel ongoing legal representation, you must do so before the case enters the courtroom or our legal team has taken significant action. Fees for work already completed will still apply.
Refund Eligibility
Refund Criteria
Refunds are granted under specific conditions, including:
- The service has not been fully delivered or completed.
- The client has submitted a valid cancellation request within the eligible time frame.
- No legal restrictions or obligations are preventing the refund.
Full vs. Partial Refunds
Depending on the stage of the service, refunds may be issued in full or partial amounts. Full refunds are granted when no work has been done, while partial refunds are provided if the service is partially completed.
Refund Process and Timeline
How Refunds Are Processed
Refunds are typically processed using the original payment method. For example, Refunds will be processed back to the original payment method used, such as a credit card.
Payment Method | Refund Method |
---|---|
Credit Card | Refund to original credit card |
Bank Transfer | Direct transfer to the bank account |
Digital Payment | Refund through the original digital platform |
Timeline for Refunds
Refunds are processed within 7-10 business days after the cancellation request is approved. Delays may occur due to banking processes or other factors.
Non-Refundable Services
Some services are non-refundable due to the nature of the work involved. These include, but are not limited to:
- Emergency Legal Services: Immediate assistance or emergency legal actions.
- Rush Document Preparation: If you request expedited services that are fulfilled before cancellation.
- Consultations Less Than 48 Hours Away: Late cancellations are not eligible for refunds.
Partial Refunds
Eligibility for Partial Refunds
Partial refunds may be granted for services that have been partially completed. The amount refunded will be based on the portion of work completed versus the overall service cost.
Service Stage | Refund Percentage |
---|---|
Initial Work Only | Up to 75% refund |
Midway Through | Up to 50% refund |
Nearly Completed | No refund |
Exceptional Circumstances
Force Majeure Events
In cases where services cannot be delivered due to events beyond our control (e.g., natural disasters, government restrictions), cancellations may be processed differently. Each exceptional situation will be reviewed individually.
Client Health Issues
If a client cannot continue with a service due to significant health issues or emergencies, we will review the case for possible cancellation and refund accommodation.
Chargebacks and Disputes
Handling Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback through your bank or payment provider, please inform us immediately. We will work with you to resolve any disputes before proceeding with legal action.
Dispute Resolution
TNABoard is committed to resolving disputes amicably. We encourage clients to contact us directly before taking any formal legal action to discuss possible solutions.
Cancellation and Refund Examples
Example 1: Canceling a Legal Consultation
Johnathan Smith scheduled a legal consultation with the TNABoard the following Monday to discuss a personal injury case. However, Johnathan no longer needed legal assistance after resolving the issue with the other party outside of court. He contacted the TNABoard 72 hours before the consultation to cancel the appointment. Since he canceled within the allowable time frame, Johnathan was eligible for a full refund, which was processed within 7 business days.
Example 2: Canceling Document Preparation
Sarah Thompson engaged the TNABoard to draft a legal document for a business agreement. After receiving the first draft, Sarah terminated the business deal and no longer needed the document. She contacted the TNABoard to cancel the document preparation service. Since the first draft had already been delivered, Sarah was entitled to a partial refund for the unused service portion. The partial refund was calculated based on the work completed, and Sarah received 50% of the service fee refunded.
