8. CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

At Punyam, our aim is to ensure that every devotee receives a fulfilling and divine experience through our Puja Services and Offerings Seva. Each service is prepared with utmost devotion, sincerity, and attention to sacred rituals. Since these arrangements begin immediately upon booking and involve spiritual commitments, refunds or cancellations are not possible under any circumstances once the booking is confirmed. However, we understand that unexpected situations may arise. To help devotees continue receiving blessings, we offer a rescheduling option (where feasible) instead of cancellations.

8.1 Refund and Cancellation Policy Overview

Once a booking is made for any Puja or Offerings Seva, no refund can be issued for any reason. Users are encouraged to reschedule their service to a later date rather than cancel, subject to availability and temple schedules.

Missed participation due to personal reasons (such as travel, unavailability, or other commitments)

Delay in delivery of video or Prasad due to logistics or natural factors

Any other reason outside Punyam’s direct control

8.2 Rescheduling Option

Users may request to reschedule their Puja or Offerings at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled time. Rescheduling is subject to approval and temple priest availability. Once preparations have started or offerings have been initiated, rescheduling may not be possible.

8.3 Exceptional Circumstances

In rare and exceptional cases — such as a major service error from Punyam’s side (e.g., Puja not performed, incorrect Sankalp recorded, or complete technical failure) — the Punyam team may offer a reschedule at no additional cost. These situations will be reviewed internally, and the decision of the Punyam Management will be considered final and binding.

8.4 Agreement

By proceeding with any booking on the Punyam App, users acknowledge and agree that: All payments made are final and non-refundable.

Punyam’s role is to facilitate spiritual services, and once offerings or preparations are made, reversal is not possible.

The devotee’s intent and participation are considered part of the spiritual process, and hence, monetary refunds are incompatible with the sacred nature of the services.

8.5 Final Note

We deeply value your faith and understanding. Every service at Punyam is performed with pure devotion and careto ensure divine blessings reach you and your loved ones.

In case of any queries or concerns, our team will be happy to assist and guide you toward the best possible resolution in alignment with our spiritual and operational commitments.
