Refund and Cancellation Policy
Refund Eligibility
A refund may be considered where:
- The customer is charged more than once for the same order (duplicate payment).
- The paid service is not delivered.
- WantokJobs.com cancels the order before service activation.
- A technical failure prevents use and WantokJobs.com cannot reasonably restore the service.
- The charged amount differs from the confirmed checkout amount.
- A refund is legally required.
Refund Denial
A refund may be denied where:
- The job advertisement has already been substantially delivered.
- Featured placement has already run.
- Candidate database access has already been used.
- Recruitment services have already been performed.
- The customer changes its recruitment decision.
- The customer provided incorrect, misleading, or prohibited content.
- The customer failed to use a service before a clearly disclosed expiry date.
- The account was suspended for fraud, unlawful activity, or serious policy breach.
Subscriptions Are Not Refunded
A subscription or plan period is never refunded. A plan runs for the period paid for and then simply expires, the same as any other software subscription. There is no pro-rata refund for the unused part of a period, and cancelling stops only the next period.
- Access continues until the end of the period already paid for.
- The period then expires — nothing auto-renews unless recurring billing was consented to and is supported by the gateway.
- Plan credits, packages and advertising already delivered are likewise not refundable.
Refunds of Deposits — Always Less the Kina Bank Fee
Where a refundable deposit is returned (an auction escrow deposit, or any other deposit held for a transaction), the refund is always less the Kina Bank merchant (POS) fee charged on the original card payment. Kina Bank charges that fee at the time of payment and does not return it when a payment is reversed, so it is retained and cannot be refunded by WantokJobs.com.
Worked example
Deposit paid by card: PGK 1,000.00
Kina Bank fee (5%): PGK 50.00 — retained, not returned by the bank
Refund paid back to your card: PGK 950.00
The fee percentage is the rate Kina Bank charges on the card scheme used, shown on your statement for every card payment and every refund. Refunds are returned to the original card where the gateway supports it.
