Refund Policy
Last Updated: July 27, 2026
Thank you for choosing Simplify AI Tools. This Refund Policy explains, in clear terms, when a payment made on SimplifyAITools.com is refundable and when it is not. By making a purchase on our platform including tool listing plans (Basic, Standard, Premium), sponsorships, or any other paid service you acknowledge and agree to this Refund Policy, our Terms & Conditions, and our Submission Guidelines (published on the Submit Tool page).
1. Two Types of Rejection Only One Is Refundable
Every tool submitted to our directory goes through editorial review. A submission can be rejected for one of two reasons, and the refund outcome is different for each:
1.1 Quality-Based Rejection FULL REFUND
If your tool is rejected because of a quality or verification issue, you are entitled to a full refund of the plan fee. Quality-based rejections include, for example:
- The tool’s website is broken, offline, or not publicly accessible at the time of review.
- The tool cannot be verified as a real, working product.
- The listing information is incomplete and you do not respond to our request for missing details within the stated time.
- The tool duplicates a listing you have already paid for.
1.2 Guideline-Violation Rejection NO REFUND
If your tool is rejected because it violates our Submission Guidelines, the plan fee is not refundable. Our editorial team spends the same review time on every submission, and payment of a listing fee does not purchase an exception to the guidelines. Guideline violations include, without limitation, tools that are or facilitate:
- Adult, NSFW, sexually explicit, or pornographic content or services of any kind;
- Gambling, betting, or lottery products;
- Scams, deceptive products, fake or misleading “AI” claims, or fraudulent services;
- Multi-level marketing (MLM), pyramid, or get-rich-quick schemes;
- Hacking, malware, spyware, stalkerware, phishing, or account-cracking tools;
- Hate speech, violence, self-harm, or harassment;
- Any activity that is illegal under applicable Indian law or the laws of the user’s jurisdiction;
- Stolen, cloned, or copyright-infringing products.
The Submission Guidelines are displayed on the Submit Tool page before the payment step. By paying, you confirm that you have read them and that your tool complies with them.
2. No Refunds for Paid and Published Tools
Once a tool has been approved, paid for, and published live on Simplify AI Tools, the sale is final and non-refundable. Subsequent updates or modifications to the tool or its listing do not affect its non-refundable status. Users are responsible for reviewing all submission requirements, the Submission Guidelines, and this Refund Policy before proceeding with payment.
3. No Refunds for Sponsorship Packages
All sponsorship packages weekly, monthly, and custom campaigns are final sales. Refund requests for unused time or dissatisfaction with promotional outcomes will not be entertained. Users must evaluate the terms and benefits of sponsorship packages thoroughly before purchase. Simplify AI Tools is not responsible for unmet expectations once a sponsorship campaign has commenced.
4. Final Sale Policy
Except for quality-based rejections described in Clause 1.1, all sales made on Simplify AI Tools are final and non-refundable. This applies to:
- Tools that are approved and published;
- Tools rejected for violating the Submission Guidelines (Clause 1.2);
- Subscriptions or service plans;
- Sponsorship or promotional packages.
5. Refund Request Procedure
To request a refund for a quality-based rejection, follow these steps:
Step 1: Email us at ainerdbox@simplifyaitools.com within 3 calendar days of receiving the rejection notification. Requests submitted after the 3-day window will not be entertained under any circumstances.
Step 2: Include the following details:
- Your registered email address;
- The transaction reference number, payment ID (Razorpay/PayPal), or invoice details;
- The name of the tool submitted;
- A brief explanation of why you are requesting the refund.
Step 3: Review: Refund requests are reviewed by our team within 5 business days. Additional information may be requested to verify the claim. The classification of a rejection as quality-based (refundable) or guideline-based (non-refundable) is made by Simplify AI Tools at its sole editorial discretion, and that classification is stated in the rejection email.
6. Refund Processing
- Timeline: Approved refunds are initiated within 7 business days of approval.
- Mode of Refund: Refunds are processed to the original payment method (Razorpay for INR payments, PayPal for USD payments) unless otherwise agreed.

7. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
If you open a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank, card issuer, Razorpay, or PayPal for a transaction that falls under a non-refundable category in this policy, we will present this Refund Policy, the Submission Guidelines shown before payment, and your submission records as evidence. Initiating a chargeback on a non-refundable transaction may result in permanent suspension of your account and removal of any active listings without further refund.
8. Termination of Services upon Refund
