SM Media LLC • Official Refund Policy

No Refund Policy

Please review this policy carefully before purchasing any PR or media placement services.
Important Notice:

Due to the nature of digital PR, media outreach, editorial coordination, publication scheduling, and fulfillment work that begins immediately after payment, all sales are final once an order has been initiated.

1. No Refunds After Order Initiation

By purchasing services from SM Media LLC, you acknowledge and agree that once work has started on your order, no refunds, chargebacks, reversals, or cancellations will be issued.

An order is considered “initiated” once any of the following occurs:

  • Client onboarding has begun
  • Editorial planning or drafting has started
  • Media outreach or publication submission has been initiated
  • Placement scheduling or processing has started
  • Internal production resources have been allocated to the campaign

2. Nature of PR & Media Services

Public relations and media placement services involve immediate labor, editorial coordination, publishing relationships, strategic planning, and non-recoverable operational costs.

Because of this, SM Media LLC cannot offer refunds once campaign execution or preparation has begun, regardless of publication timing, client preference changes, or external business circumstances.

3. Client Responsibility

Clients are responsible for reviewing all service details, deliverables, timelines, and terms before making a purchase.

By submitting payment, the client confirms they understand the scope of services being purchased and agree to this no refund policy in full.

4. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

Filing a chargeback or payment dispute after services have been initiated may constitute a violation of this agreement.

SM Media LLC reserves the right to provide documentation including signed agreements, invoices, communication records, onboarding confirmations, editorial drafts, and fulfillment records to dispute any unauthorized chargeback claims.

5. Exceptions

Refund exceptions, if any, are solely determined at the discretion of SM Media LLC management and must be confirmed in writing.

No verbal statements or informal communication shall override this policy unless explicitly approved in writing by SM Media LLC.

6. Contact Information

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact SM Media LLC prior to purchasing services.
