REFUND POLICY
Mukul Legal Services
Shop No. 07, Sanwariya Complex, Upper Ground Floor
Opposite DCB Bank, Motibunglow
Dewas (M.P.) – 455001
1. Introduction
This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions governing refunds for services provided by Mukul Legal Services (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By engaging our services, clients (“you” or “the Client”) agree to the terms described in this policy. As a provider of professional legal services, our work involves intellectual effort, time investment, and case-specific customization. Therefore, refund eligibility is limited and subject to the conditions outlined below.
2. Scope of Services
Mukul Legal Services offers a range of legal services including, but not limited to:
Legal consultation and advisory
Drafting of legal documents (agreements, notices, affidavits, etc.)
Representation and assistance in legal proceedings
Filing and documentation support
Legal research and case preparation
Each service involves professional time and expertise, and fees charged reflect the value of these services.
3. General Refund Policy
As a general rule, fees paid for legal services are non-refundable once the service has been initiated. This is because legal work begins immediately upon engagement, including consultation, research, and document preparation.
However, we recognize that certain exceptional situations may warrant partial or full refunds. Such cases will be reviewed individually and at the sole discretion of Mukul Legal Services.
4. Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds may be considered under the following circumstances:
4.1 Non-Commencement of Service
If a client has made payment but the Firm has not yet started work on the matter, a refund may be granted after deducting administrative charges (up to 20% of the total fee).
4.2 Duplicate Payment
If a client accidentally makes a duplicate payment for the same service, the excess amount will be refunded after verification.
4.3 Inability to Provide Service
If Mukul Legal Services is unable to provide the agreed service due to internal reasons, a full or partial refund may be issued depending on the stage of engagement.
4.4 Mutual Agreement
In cases where both parties mutually agree to terminate the engagement before substantial work has been completed, a partial refund may be granted.
5. Non-Refundable Situations
Refunds will not be provided under the following circumstances:
Once legal consultation has been provided
After drafting work has commenced or documents have been delivered
If the client decides to discontinue services midway
If the outcome of the legal matter is unfavorable
If delays occur due to the client’s failure to provide necessary information or documents
Court fees, government charges, and third-party expenses
Legal services are based on professional effort, not guaranteed outcomes. Therefore, dissatisfaction with results alone does not qualify for a refund.
6. Consultation Fees
All consultation fees—whether conducted in person, over phone, or online—are strictly non-refundable. This is because consultation involves immediate professional input and advice tailored to the client’s situation.
7. Document Drafting Services
For drafting services:
If work has not started, a partial refund may be considered.
Once drafting begins, fees become non-refundable.
After delivery of the document draft, no refund will be issued.
Any revisions requested by the client will be accommodated as per agreed terms but do not qualify for refunds.
8. Litigation and Court Matters
For litigation services:
Fees paid towards court filings, government charges, or third-party expenses are non-refundable.
Professional fees for representation are non-refundable once the case has been filed or proceedings have commenced.
If services are terminated before filing, partial refunds may be considered.
9. Retainer Agreements
For clients under retainer agreements:
Monthly or periodic retainers are non-refundable once the service period has begun.
If terminated before the start of a billing cycle, unused portions may be adjusted or refunded on a prorated basis.
