Refund & Cancellation Policy
Version 1.0 · Effective 28 May 2026
This policy applies to all products and services offered by Advisory Stack: consumer subscriptions, business workspace subscriptions, tax-agent firm subscriptions, the One-off Tax Strategy Report, and consultations. Refund requests are handled by emailing billing@advisorystack.com.au. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
1. Consumer subscriptions
- 30-day money-back guarantee from your first payment on a paid consumer tier. Refund is the full amount paid for the current billing period.
- Cancel anytime via the billing portal in your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then.
- Annual plans: pro-rated refunds on unused full months after the 30-day window, where required by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).
2. Business workspace subscriptions
- Monthly billing: cancels at the end of the current billing period; workspace data remains accessible for 30 days after cancellation for export.
- Annual plans: cancel at renewal; pro-rated refunds where required by ACL (e.g. major service unavailability for an extended period).
3. Tax-agent firm subscriptions
- Monthly subscriptions cancel at the end of the current period.
- Annual plans cancel at renewal; pro-rated refunds for unused full months where required by ACL.
- Usage charges (storage overage, seat overage) already invoiced for a closed billing period are non-refundable, unless they result from a billing error on our part.
4. One-off Tax Strategy Report ($69)
- Before submission: full refund on request — we have not yet incurred reviewer cost.
- After submission, before reviewer assignment: full refund on request.
- After reviewer assignment, before delivery: partial refund (50%) if delivery is cancelled by you, since reviewer time has already been allocated.
- After delivery: full refund within 7 days of delivery if the report does not reasonably reflect what you submitted, or contains material factual error. Email billing@advisorystack.com.au with the specific issue; we'll route it to the reviewer's lead for a 5-business-day response.
- You retain the delivered PDF for your records even if a refund is issued.
5. Consultations (1-on-1 sessions)
- Cancellation 24+ hours before the scheduled session: full refund.
- Cancellation under 24 hours: refundable at the agent's discretion; the agent has already blocked time on their calendar.
- No-show: non-refundable unless extenuating circumstances apply.
- Completed sessions: non-refundable. If the service was not what was agreed, contact the agent first; unresolved within 21 days, refer to Advisory Stack at billing@advisorystack.com.au; unresolved beyond that, refer to the TPB (tpb.gov.au/complaints) for conduct issues.
6. Statutory rights (Australian Consumer Law)
Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010). You may be entitled to a refund, replacement, repair, or compensation under the consumer guarantees if a service is not delivered with due care and skill, fit for a disclosed purpose, or within a reasonable time. These rights apply in addition to (not instead of) anything in this policy.
7. How to request a refund
Email billing@advisorystack.com.au with: (a) the email address on the account, (b) the product or invoice ID, (c) a brief description of the issue. We'll respond within 5 business days with a decision and, if approved, process the refund to the original payment method within a further 5 business days.
