1. INTRODUCTION AND POLICY SCOPE
VENTURECORE SOLUTIONS PRIVATE LIMITED ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), operating the Pirento platform, is
committed to providing fair, transparent, and reasonable refund policies that protect consumer rights while
maintaining service sustainability and quality. This Refund Policy outlines the terms, conditions, and
procedures for requesting refunds across our comprehensive life management ecosystem and integrated services.
This Refund Policy applies to all services provided through our platform, including our five service verticals:
Pirento Intern (Professional Evolution Hub), Pirento Capital (Wealth Wisdom Ecosystem), Pirento Vault (Digital
Immortality Platform), Pirento Green (Environmental Life Impact), and Pirento Giftox (Meaningful Connection
Engine), as well as legal services provided through our partnership with VakilSearch.
Our refund practices are designed to comply with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, Indian Contract Act,
1872, and other applicable Indian consumer protection and commercial laws. We recognize that different types
of services require different refund approaches, and we have developed service-specific refund terms that
balance consumer protection with the unique characteristics of each service category.
We are committed to resolving refund requests fairly, promptly, and transparently, with clear procedures for
requesting refunds, reasonable evaluation criteria, and timely processing of approved refunds. Our goal is to
ensure customer satisfaction while maintaining the integrity and sustainability of our services for all users.
2. GENERAL REFUND PRINCIPLES AND FRAMEWORK
2.1 Fundamental Refund Principles
Our refund policy is built on fundamental principles of fairness, transparency, and consumer protection that
guide our approach to refund evaluation and processing across all service categories and user situations.
Consumer Protection and Rights Recognition forms the foundation of our refund policy,
acknowledging that consumers have legitimate rights to receive services as promised and to seek appropriate
remedies when services do not meet reasonable expectations or contractual commitments.
Service Quality and Performance Standards establish clear expectations for service delivery
quality, performance metrics, and user satisfaction levels that serve as benchmarks for evaluating refund
requests and determining appropriate remedies for service shortfalls.
Proportional and Reasonable Remedies ensure that refund amounts and alternative remedies are
proportional to the nature and extent of service issues, user impact, and the specific circumstances
surrounding each refund request.
Transparency and Clear Communication require that refund policies, procedures, and decisions
are communicated clearly to users, with detailed explanations of refund criteria, evaluation processes, and
the reasoning behind refund decisions.
2.2 Service Category Classifications
Different types of services require different refund approaches based on their characteristics, delivery
methods, and the nature of value provided to users. We classify our services into distinct categories for
refund policy purposes.
Subscription-Based Services include ongoing access to platform features, regular service
delivery, and continuous value provision over time. These services are evaluated for refunds based on usage
patterns, service availability, and the proportion of subscription periods during which services were
unavailable or unsatisfactory.
One-Time Professional Services encompass specific deliverables, consultations, assessments,
or discrete service provisions that have defined outcomes and completion criteria. Refunds for these services
are evaluated based on deliverable quality, completion status, and adherence to service specifications.
Digital Product and Content Services include access to digital tools, educational content,
software features, and other digital products that provide immediate or ongoing value. Refund evaluation
considers the nature of digital delivery, usage patterns, and the specific value received by users.
Partnership and Third-Party Services involve services delivered through our partners,
including VakilSearch legal services, where refund evaluation requires coordination between Pirento and
service partners to ensure appropriate remedy provision and responsibility allocation.
2.3 Refund Eligibility Criteria
Refund eligibility is determined based on specific criteria that consider the nature of services, user
circumstances, and the reasons for refund requests, with fair and consistent application across all service
categories.
Service Non-Delivery or Failure includes situations where services are not delivered as
promised, fail to meet specified quality standards, or are unavailable due to technical issues or other
factors within our control.
Misrepresentation or Expectation Mismatch encompasses cases where services were misrepresented
in marketing materials, service descriptions, or sales communications, leading to reasonable user
expectations that were not met through service delivery.
Technical Issues and Platform Problems include refund eligibility for users who experience
significant technical difficulties, platform outages, or system problems that prevent effective use of
services for extended periods.
Billing Errors and Unauthorized Charges cover situations involving incorrect billing,
duplicate charges, unauthorized transactions, or other billing-related issues that warrant refund
consideration and correction.
2.4 Refund Exclusions and Limitations
Certain circumstances and service characteristics may limit or exclude refund eligibility, with clear
communication about these limitations to ensure user understanding and appropriate expectation setting.
User-Caused Issues and Misuse include situations where service problems result from user
error, misuse of services, violation of terms of service, or failure to follow proper service usage
procedures and guidelines.
External Factors and Force Majeure encompass service disruptions caused by factors beyond
our reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, internet outages, or other
extraordinary circumstances.
Partial Service Consumption may affect refund amounts for services that have been partially
used, consumed, or delivered, with prorated refund calculations based on the extent of service utilization
and value received.
Time Limitations and Request Deadlines establish reasonable timeframes for submitting refund
requests, with consideration for the nature of services and the practical requirements for evaluating and
processing refund claims.
