Refund and Cancellation Policy.

Last updated: 15 October 2026

We bill for finished work, not for the right to be a client. This page explains when you can cancel and what happens to money already paid.

1. Market Entry Report (US$500)

  • Applying and the intake interview are free. You can withdraw at any point before you pay, at no cost.
  • If you pay online before the interview and we decide after it that we can't help, we refund the full US$500.
  • We invoice the US$500 after the interview. Payment is due within 14 days; if you decide not to go ahead, simply don’t pay and let us know.
  • Work starts as soon as payment is received, so the fee is non-refundable once paid.
  • We deliver within three weeks of payment. If we cannot deliver the report for reasons on our side, we refund the full US$500.
  • If you go ahead with further work, the US$500 is credited against your first invoice.

2. Websites, tools and other one-off work

  • Every piece of work is quoted in writing before it starts. Nothing is charged until you approve the quote.
  • We invoice after the work is delivered and you have approved it, so there is no advance payment to refund.
  • You can stop between deliverables with no penalty, and you keep everything already delivered.
  • A deliverable that is already in progress is completed and invoiced before stopping — a half-built website is of no use to anyone.

3. Monthly services

  • Maintenance and running services are billed monthly for the work done that month.
  • Any minimum term and notice period are stated in the quote for that service. We do not use contracts that renew automatically by default.
  • Months already invoiced are not refunded.

4. How to cancel or ask about a refund

Email contact@jinmarketing.jp with your company name and the invoice number. A named person replies within two business days. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method (card or PayPal).
