Welcome to SahyogGuru, an online crowdfunding platform operated by Child Healthcare & Educational Foundation ("Foundation", "we", "our", or "us"). This Refund Policy explains the circumstances under which donations made through SahyogGuru may or may not be eligible for a refund.

1Purpose of this Policy

SahyogGuru is a crowdfunding platform that facilitates voluntary donations for genuine charitable and humanitarian causes. Since donations are generally transferred to beneficiaries or reserved for approved campaigns, refunds are limited to specific situations outlined in this Policy.

2Nature of Donations

All donations made through SahyogGuru are voluntary contributions made by donors in support of a campaign or charitable cause.

Once a donation has been successfully processed and allocated, it is generally considered final and non-refundable, except in the circumstances specifically mentioned in this Policy.

3Eligible Refund Scenarios

A refund request may be considered under the following circumstances:

If a donor accidentally makes the same donation more than once due to a technical error or user mistake, SahyogGuru may review the request and process a refund for the duplicate transaction after verification.

b. Incorrect Donation Amount

If a donor mistakenly donates an incorrect amount due to an input error and informs SahyogGuru promptly, the request may be reviewed before funds are released to the beneficiary.
