Policy & Terms

Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: 14 August 2026

At KeyOwn Habitat, we aim to make our services transparent and clear. This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how cancellations, refunds and payment reversals are handled for our different services.

Because our services include advisory, property-related and third-party coordination services, refund eligibility may vary depending on the service purchased, the stage at which cancellation occurs, and the applicable agreement.


1. SCOPE

This Policy applies to payments made to KeyOwn Habitat for services including:

  • Home Ownership Advisory Services (HOAS)
  • HOAS assessments and advisory services
  • Property Advisory services
  • Property discovery and consultation
  • Property-related services
  • Banking & Finance assistance
  • Other paid services offered through KeyOwn Habitat

Property purchase, booking and transaction payments may be governed by separate agreements and terms issued for the specific property or transaction.


2. BEFORE MAKING A PAYMENT

Customers should review:

  • Service description
  • Applicable fees
  • Service inclusions
  • Cancellation terms
  • Refund conditions
  • Any service-specific agreement

before making a payment.

Where a separate written agreement applies, the terms of that agreement will govern the relevant transaction to the extent permitted by applicable law.


3. HOAS SERVICES

HOAS may include assessments, financial-readiness analysis, advisory sessions, reports, calculations and personalised guidance.

BEFORE THE SERVICE BEGINS:
If a customer cancels before substantive work has started, the customer may be eligible for a refund, subject to any applicable administrative or processing charges disclosed at the time of purchase.

AFTER THE SERVICE HAS STARTED:
Once personalised assessment, analysis, advisory work or preparation has commenced, the payment may become non-refundable to the extent the service has already been performed.

Any eligible refund will be determined based on the work already completed and the applicable service terms.


4. PROPERTY ADVISORY SERVICES

Property Advisory may involve:

  • Understanding customer requirements
  • Property research
  • Property shortlisting
  • Property recommendations
  • Developer or seller coordination
  • Property visits
  • Negotiation support
  • Other advisory activities

If the customer cancels after these activities have commenced, refund eligibility may depend on the stage of service and work already performed.

Any specific Property Advisory agreement provided to the customer will apply to that service.


5. PROPERTY BOOKING & PROPERTY PURCHASE PAYMENTS

Property transactions require separate treatment.

Amounts paid toward:

  • Property booking
  • Token amounts
  • Advance payments
  • Developer payments
  • Seller payments
  • Registration
  • Government charges
  • Stamp duty
  • Legal/documentation charges
  • Other transaction-related expenses

may be governed by the specific property agreement, booking form, developer/seller terms or applicable law.

Such amounts should not automatically be treated as refundable KeyOwn Habitat service fees.

KeyOwn Habitat will communicate the applicable cancellation and refund terms before or during the relevant transaction where required.

Where a separate property agreement provides specific refund or cancellation rights, that agreement will govern the relevant transaction to the extent permitted by law.


6. BANKING & FINANCE SERVICES

KeyOwn Habitat may coordinate with banks, housing finance companies and other financial institutions.

Payment for a KeyOwn Habitat service does not guarantee:

  • Loan approval
  • Credit approval
  • Particular interest rate
  • Particular loan amount
  • Loan disbursement
  • Any specific financing outcome

If a customer cancels a Banking & Finance service, refund eligibility will depend on the service purchased and the stage of work completed.

Any fee charged directly by a bank or third-party financial institution is governed by that institution's own terms.


7. SERVICES ALREADY DELIVERED

Where a service has already been fully delivered, the payment may generally be non-refundable, subject to:

  • Applicable service agreement
  • Nature of the service
  • Applicable consumer rights
  • Applicable law

Nothing in this Policy is intended to exclude any refund or remedy that cannot legally be excluded.


8. CANCELLATION BY CUSTOMER

To request cancellation, contact:

Refund Email: admin@keyownhabitat.com

Please provide:

  • Full name
  • Registered mobile number
  • Email address
  • Customer/reference number
  • Service purchased
  • Payment date
  • Amount paid
  • Reason for cancellation

We may request additional information to verify the request.


9. CANCELLATION BY KEYOWN HABITAT

KeyOwn Habitat may cancel or discontinue a service where:

  • The service cannot reasonably be provided
  • Required information or documentation is not provided
  • Fraud or misuse is suspected
  • A legal or regulatory requirement prevents the service
  • A third-party partner becomes unavailable
  • The customer violates applicable terms
  • Other circumstances make continuation unreasonable or unlawful

Where KeyOwn Habitat cancels a prepaid service and the customer is entitled to a refund, the applicable eligible amount will be refunded in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.


10. REFUND ELIGIBILITY

A refund will be provided only where expressly applicable under:

  • The relevant service terms
  • Applicable transaction documents
  • This Policy
  • Applicable law

A refund may be available where:

  • A service was cancelled before it commenced
  • KeyOwn Habitat is unable to provide a prepaid service
  • A payment was duplicated
  • A payment was made incorrectly
  • A refund is specifically provided under the applicable service agreement
  • A refund is required under applicable law

Refunds are not automatically available merely because a customer changes their mind after a service has been substantially performed, subject always to applicable consumer rights and law.


11. DUPLICATE OR INCORRECT PAYMENTS

If you believe you have:

  • Paid twice
  • Paid the wrong amount
  • Been charged incorrectly

contact us promptly with the payment details.

After verification, any confirmed excess or duplicate payment may be refunded through the applicable payment channel.


12. FAILED TRANSACTIONS

If money has been debited from your account but the transaction was not successfully recorded by KeyOwn Habitat, contact us with the transaction reference.

We will verify the transaction with the relevant payment provider and take appropriate action.

Processing time may depend on the payment gateway, bank or financial institution.


13. REFUND PROCESSING

Where a refund is approved, we will normally initiate it using the original payment method where reasonably possible.

The time taken for the amount to appear in your account may depend on:

  • Payment gateway
  • Bank
  • Card issuer
  • UPI provider
  • Other financial institution

KeyOwn Habitat cannot guarantee the exact time taken by an external financial institution to credit a refunded amount.


14. THIRD-PARTY PAYMENTS

Where a payment is processed directly by:

  • Bank
  • Developer
  • Property seller
  • Payment gateway
  • Housing finance company
  • Other third party

the refund may be governed by that party's terms.

KeyOwn Habitat cannot independently guarantee a refund for an amount that was not received or controlled by KeyOwn Habitat.


15. NON-REFUNDABLE CHARGES

Certain charges may be non-refundable where clearly disclosed before payment and where permitted by applicable law. These may include charges relating to:

  • Services already performed
  • Third-party costs already incurred
  • Government charges
  • Transaction expenses that cannot be recovered

We will not describe a charge as non-refundable merely to avoid a refund where applicable law requires otherwise.


16. PROMOTIONAL OFFERS

Special offers, discounts, introductory pricing or promotional services may have separate cancellation and refund conditions. Where applicable, those conditions will be disclosed at the time of the offer. A promotional discount may not necessarily be refundable as a separate amount.


17. TAXES AND GOVERNMENT CHARGES

Where a refund is approved, the treatment of:

  • GST
  • Government charges
  • Registration charges
  • Stamp duty
  • Other statutory charges

will depend on whether those amounts were actually collected, remitted or are legally refundable. Government or statutory charges may not be refundable by KeyOwn Habitat where they have already been paid to the relevant authority.


18. PROPERTY-RELATED DISPUTES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Property transactions may involve contractual, commercial, payment, documentation, possession, cancellation, refund, service or other disputes between the customer and KeyOwn Habitat and/or other parties involved in the transaction.

18.1 Nature of Contractual and Property Disputes

Where a disagreement arises from the interpretation, performance, delay, cancellation, refund, payment, documentation or other contractual obligation relating to a property or service, the parties should first seek resolution through the applicable agreement and appropriate civil, consumer, regulatory or other lawful remedies.

Examples may include:

  • Disagreement regarding contractual obligations
  • Delay in providing a service
  • Disagreement regarding a refund
  • Disagreement regarding cancellation
  • Payment reconciliation
  • Property documentation issues
  • Contractual delays
  • Disagreement regarding property specifications or contractual obligations
  • Service-related disputes
  • Other matters arising from the performance or interpretation of a contract

A contractual disagreement does not, by itself, establish criminal conduct.

18.2 Good-Faith Dispute Resolution

Before initiating formal proceedings, customers are encouraged to contact KeyOwn Habitat and provide relevant details so that the matter can be reviewed.

Where appropriate, the parties may attempt to resolve a matter through:

  1. Customer support
  2. Written grievance
  3. Internal review
  4. Management-level review
  5. Mediation or another mutually agreed resolution mechanism
  6. Appropriate legal proceedings where the matter cannot be resolved

Nothing in this section prevents a customer from exercising any statutory or legal right available to them.

18.3 Separate Property Agreements

Where a property transaction is governed by a separate booking form, allotment letter, Agreement for Sale, sale deed, developer agreement, service agreement, or other transaction document, the dispute-resolution provisions contained in that document will apply to the extent legally enforceable.

If a dispute involves a developer, promoter, property owner, bank or other third party, the rights and obligations between the customer and that third party may be governed by the relevant third-party agreement.

18.4 Civil, Consumer and Regulatory Remedies

Depending on the nature of the dispute, a customer may have remedies available under applicable civil, consumer, RERA or other applicable laws. Nothing in this Policy is intended to prevent or restrict any remedy that cannot legally be excluded.

18.5 Criminal Conduct

Nothing in this Policy prevents a person from approaching the appropriate law-enforcement authority where the facts genuinely disclose conduct that constitutes a criminal offence under applicable law. Similarly, KeyOwn Habitat reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law where conduct by a customer, employee, agent, partner or other person may constitute a criminal offence.

18.6 No Automatic Criminal Characterisation

A disagreement regarding a payment, refund, delay, contractual obligation, property transaction or service does not automatically establish fraud, cheating, criminal breach of trust or any other criminal offence. Any allegation of criminal conduct must be assessed based on the actual facts and applicable law.

18.7 Documentation and Evidence

Customers are encouraged to retain booking documents, agreements, payment receipts, invoices, official communications, property documents, email correspondence, and other relevant transaction records. KeyOwn Habitat may maintain relevant records for legitimate business, legal, regulatory and dispute-resolution purposes.


19. DISPUTES AND REFUND GRIEVANCES

If you disagree with a refund decision, contact KeyOwn Habitat first so that the matter can be reviewed.

Refund Contact: admin@keyownhabitat.com
General Contact: hello@keyownhabitat.com

Nothing in this Policy removes any mandatory statutory, consumer, RERA or other legal remedy available to a customer.


20. CONSUMER RIGHTS

Nothing in this Policy is intended to restrict or remove any consumer right, remedy or protection that cannot legally be excluded. KeyOwn Habitat will comply with applicable consumer-protection and e-commerce requirements applicable to its services.


21. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Refund & Cancellation Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • Changes in services
  • Changes in payment processes
  • Changes in business practices
