Refund Policy

Last updated: December 2024

1. General Policy

CMD Tech is committed to customer satisfaction and providing quality elevator, escalator, and travelator services. This refund policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds may be provided for services rendered by Craig Miller and CMD Tech.

2. Service Categories

2.1 Emergency Services

Emergency repair services are generally non-refundable once a technician has been dispatched and arrives on-site. However, if the service call was made in error or the technician was unable to access the equipment due to circumstances beyond the client's control, a partial refund may be considered.

2.2 Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance services may be refunded if cancelled with at least 24 hours notice before the scheduled appointment. Same-day cancellations are subject to a 50% cancellation fee.

2.3 Installation Services

Installation and mounting services are generally non-refundable once work has commenced. If installation cannot be completed due to unforeseen structural or technical issues not disclosed by the client, a partial refund may be available after deducting costs incurred.

3. Refundable Circumstances

Full or partial refunds may be provided in the following situations:

  • Service was not performed as agreed upon in the written estimate or contract
  • Significant delays caused solely by CMD Tech that prevent completion of scheduled work
  • Equipment damage caused by CMD Tech negligence during service
  • Services cancelled by CMD Tech due to unforeseen circumstances
  • Double billing or billing errors on CMD Tech's part
  • Warranty work that fails to resolve the original issue within the warranty period

4. Non-Refundable Services

The following services are typically non-refundable:

  • Diagnostic fees and service call charges
  • Emergency services after technician arrival
  • Custom parts or special order materials
  • Services cancelled by client with less than 24 hours notice
  • Work completed according to specifications but client changes requirements
  • Services where access was denied or restricted by client
  • Cosmetic preferences or subjective dissatisfaction with completed work

5. Parts and Materials

5.1 New Parts

New parts may be refundable if they are defective upon installation or if they were ordered incorrectly due to CMD Tech error. Client must notify CMD Tech within 48 hours of installation.

5.2 Special Order Items

Custom or special order parts are generally non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or do not meet the specifications provided by the client.

5.3 Used/Refurbished Parts

Used or refurbished parts are sold as-is and are non-refundable unless they fail within the 30-day warranty period.

6. Refund Process

6.1 Request Timeline

Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of service completion or invoice date, whichever is later. Requests submitted after this period may not be considered.

6.2 Request Method

Refund requests must be submitted in writing via email or written letter, including:

  • Invoice number and service date
  • Detailed explanation of the issue
  • Supporting documentation if applicable
  • Contact information for follow-up

6.3 Review Process

CMD Tech will review all refund requests within 10 business days. Complex cases may require additional investigation and could take up to 21 business days for resolution.

7. Refund Methods

7.1 Payment Method

Approved refunds will be issued using the same payment method used for the original transaction. If this is not possible, a check will be issued to the billing address on file.

7.2 Processing Time

Approved refunds will be processed within 5-7 business days of approval. The actual time for funds to appear in your account depends on your financial institution.

7.3 Partial Refunds

In cases where partial refunds are appropriate, the refund amount will be calculated based on the work completed, materials used, and any costs incurred by CMD Tech.

8. Dispute Resolution

If you disagree with a refund decision, you may request a secondary review within 10 days of the initial decision. All disputes will be handled in good faith with the goal of reaching a fair resolution. If necessary, disputes may be resolved through mediation or arbitration as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.

9. Customer Satisfaction

CMD Tech's primary goal is customer satisfaction. Before requesting a refund, we encourage clients to contact us to discuss any concerns. In many cases, we can address issues through corrective work, additional service, or other remedies that may be more satisfactory than a monetary refund.
