Last Updated: September 15, 2026
Version: 2.4 (Fair Practice & Payments)

Important Notice

Please review these refund policies carefully before completing bookings or purchases. Our guidelines are designed to be fair to patients while respecting the committed time of practicing Ayurvedic doctors.

1.

Introduction

This Refund Policy outlines the terms under which refunds, cancellations, and payment adjustments are processed for healthcare consultations, doctor subscription plans, and authentic botanical orders on AYUSHUB.

We strive to maintain transparent, fair billing practices for both patients seeking authentic Ayurvedic healthcare and practitioners reserving their clinical time.

2.

Consultation Payments

Consultation fees are paid at the time of appointment booking to secure a dedicated clinical time slot with your selected Ayurvedic doctor.

Once a consultation is completed and clinical advice or a prescription is provided, the professional fee is considered earned by the practitioner and is non-refundable.

3.

Doctor Subscription Payments

Practitioners subscribing to AYUSHUB Clinic Management and OPD SaaS plans are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis.

Doctors may cancel recurring subscriptions at any time through the clinic dashboard. Upon cancellation, the subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle, with no further charges applied.

4.

Product & Medicine Orders

Orders for classical Ayurvedic medicines and formulations placed on the AYUSHUB store are fulfilled in compliance with statutory Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia guidelines and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

5.

Cancelled Appointments

Appointments may be cancelled by either the patient or the practitioner subject to the specific cancellation timelines outlined below.

6.

Doctor Cancellation or No-Show

If a consulting doctor cancels a confirmed appointment due to a clinical emergency or fails to join a scheduled consultation session, the patient is entitled to:

1. An immediate 100% full refund of the consultation fee to the original payment source; OR

2. A complimentary priority reschedule to another convenient time slot at the patient's option.

7.

Patient Cancellation & Rescheduling

Patients may cancel or reschedule a confirmed consultation up to two (2) hours prior to the scheduled slot time for a full 100% refund or slot transfer.

Cancellations made less than 2 hours before the appointment are subject to a nominal cancellation deduction to compensate the practitioner for reserved clinical time, unless waived by the doctor.

8.

Failed Transactions

If funds are debited from your bank account or card but the booking fails to generate a confirmation reference due to a network interruption, the amount is automatically reversed by the payment gateway within 3 to 5 banking business days.

9.

Duplicate Payments

In the event of an accidental double debit for the same appointment or order, the duplicate transaction will be refunded in full immediately upon verification by our support desk.

10.
