Refund Policy

Last updated: 5 December 2025

1. General Refund Policy

At MyMotivation.site, we are committed to providing quality service. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds may be considered and the process for requesting a refund.

Refund eligibility depends on the stage of service completion at the time of your request.

2. Refund Eligibility by Service Stage

Stage 1: Before Work Commences

If you request a refund after payment but before we have begun work on your motivation letter:

  • A refund may be considered, minus banking and administrative costs
  • Work is considered to have commenced once we begin reviewing your documents or drafting your letter
  • Dashboard access alone does not constitute commencement of work

Stage 2: Work in Progress

If you request a refund after we have begun drafting your motivation letter but before completion:

  • A partial refund may be considered based on the amount of work completed
  • We will retain a fair portion of the fee proportional to the work performed
  • Assessment of work completed is at our reasonable discretion

Stage 3: After Completion and Delivery

If you request a refund after your motivation letter has been completed and delivered:

  • Refunds are generally not available once the service has been fully delivered
  • The completed motivation letter represents fulfillment of our service obligation
  • See Section 5 regarding our rewrite commitment for SAPS refusals

3. Circumstances That Void Refund Eligibility

Refunds will not be considered in the following circumstances:

  • Misrepresentation: If you provided false, inaccurate, or misleading information
  • Non-cooperation: If you failed to provide required documents or respond to requests within reasonable timeframes
  • Change of mind: If you simply changed your mind about applying for a firearm licence after work has commenced
  • SAPS rejection: If your application was rejected by SAPS for reasons unrelated to the motivation letter (see Section 5 for rewrite commitment)
  • Modification: If you modified the motivation letter after delivery and before submission to SAPS
  • Delayed submission: If you delayed submitting your application to SAPS beyond a reasonable timeframe

4. Section 16 Service Refunds

For Section 16 applications, our service includes club membership application assistance, dedicated status application assistance, first year club membership, and motivation letter preparation.

Refund considerations for Section 16:

  • If club membership has been processed, the membership fee portion is non-refundable
  • If dedicated status application has been submitted, associated costs are non-refundable
  • Refund eligibility for the motivation letter portion follows the general policy outlined in Section 2
  • Each component of the service is assessed separately for refund eligibility

5. Rewrite Commitment (Not a Refund)

As outlined in our Terms of Service, we offer a complimentary rewrite commitment as a good-faith measure of quality assurance. This is separate from our refund policy.

Rewrite eligibility:

  • SAPS refusal must be specifically and explicitly due to the motivation letter content
  • All information you provided must have been accurate and complete
  • You must have followed all guidance regarding supporting documentation
  • The rewrite is for the same licence type only

The rewrite commitment does not entitle you to a refund. It provides a complimentary revision of the motivation letter to address specific deficiencies identified by SAPS.

6. How to Request a Refund

  1. Contact us through our Contact page or via email

7. Refund Processing

If your refund request is approved:

  • Refunds will be processed to the original payment method
  • Processing time is typically 7-14 business days from approval
  • Banking fees and administrative costs may be deducted from the refund amount
  • You will receive confirmation once the refund has been processed

8. Disputes

If you disagree with our refund decision, you may request a review by providing additional information or clarification. We will conduct a fair reassessment of your request.

All refund decisions are made at our reasonable discretion based on the circumstances of each case and in accordance with this policy.
