Delivery timelines vary by project complexity but generally begin within 24 hours of confirmed payment, unless otherwise communicated.

This Refund Policy applies to all services purchased through www.crewbarco.com (hereinafter referred to as “CREWBARCO”), a platform owned and operated by BLUE VENDORS LTD., a company registered in Cyprus.

By purchasing any service from CREWBARCO, you agree to the following terms without exception:

1. Custom and Pre-Paid Services
All services provided by CREWBARCO are pre-paid and custom-designed for each client. These may include, but are not limited to, digital services, consulting, content creation, exposure-related tools, business facilitation, and other personalized offerings.

For this reason, once payment is made, the sale is final and no refunds will be issued, regardless of whether the service has begun or been delivered. You acknowledge that payment confirms your commitment and activates internal processing or resource allocation.

2. No Right of Withdrawal (EU Law)
In accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2011/83/EU on Consumer Rights, you expressly waive your right to withdraw from the contract once payment is submitted, for the following reasons:
– The service involves digital content or delivery not supplied on a tangible medium
– The service is customized or tailored to your specific profile, company, or request
– Performance of the service begins immediately upon payment

This applies equally to natural persons (e.g. individual clients) and legal entities (e.g. companies purchasing services).

3. Service Fulfillment and Meeting-Based Services
If your service includes meetings, interviews, live sessions, or introductions, it is considered fully delivered once the meeting takes place, regardless of the outcome.

If a scheduled meeting is canceled, CREWBARCO reserves the right to reschedule or offer a suitable alternative. If no replacement is possible and the client opts not to continue, a partial refund may be considered only for that specific meeting arrangement, not for any broader service.

Missed meetings by the client without prior notice of at least 48 hours are considered fulfilled.

4. Exceptions to Refund Policy
Refunds will only be considered under the following limited circumstances:
– Duplicate payment due to technical error (subject to verification)
– Cancellation initiated by CREWBARCO before delivery of any portion of the service
– A promised meeting or session is canceled and cannot be rescheduled, and the client declines any continuation

All refund requests must be made in writing to info@crewbarco.com within 7 days of the triggering event.

5. Disputes and Chargebacks
Initiating a chargeback or dispute without first contacting us is a breach of this agreement. CREWBARCO will provide full service records, delivery logs, and client approvals to payment processors if required.
We reserve the right to deny future service to any client who misuses refund or dispute procedures.

6. Confirmation and Consent
By completing payment, you:

– Waive any statutory right of withdrawal under EU law
– Accept that no refunds will be issued once payment is made

A confirmation email will follow your purchase outlining your service and referencing this policy.
