Policies

Clear commercial policies—before you buy.

The Geeks Next Door · GND Automations. Last updated 2026-07-17. These are operating policies for transparent selling; confirm legal terms if you need a formal contract.

Workmanship commitment

We stand behind the work we deliver for a defined support window. This is a workmanship commitment—not a product manufacturer warranty or uptime SLA like a full managed service provider (MSP).

  • Automations / packages: typically 30 days light fixes for defects we introduced.
  • Support sessions: 7 days on the specific fix performed.
  • Digital products: 14 days file-defect replacement.
  • Active retainers include break/fix coverage for automations we built (within the plan’s hour bank and change allowance).

Fair-work guarantee

  • If we determine a fixed-scope job cannot be completed as described, we stop and apply refund or credit rules—no silent overages.
  • You approve significant changes before we make them on your machine.
  • We document what we did so you are not left guessing.
  • We do not guarantee 24/7 response or “unlimited” memberships that hide paid add-ons.

Refunds & cancellations

  • Digital products: 14-day satisfaction refund if files are defective or not as described (not for simple change-of-mind after substantial use).
  • Prepaid remote hours / packs: unused hours refundable within 14 days of purchase if no session has been booked; after first session, unused time is credited as store credit for 90 days.
  • Fixed project packages (audit, readiness, sprints): full refund if we cancel before the kickoff session; after kickoff, refunds are prorated for undelivered phases only.
  • Custom builds: deposits are applied to the project. Deposits are refundable only if we have not started scoped work; after work begins, deposit covers completed discovery/build time.
  • Monthly retainers: cancel anytime before the next billing date; no partial-month cash refunds; unused hours in the current month do not roll and are not cashed out.
  • On-site visit fees: refundable if canceled 24+ hours before the appointment; same-day cancel may forfeit the visit fee (labor not charged).

Please contact us first at info@thegeeksnextdoor.com so we can fix issues quickly. Chargebacks without contact may pause ongoing work.

Your data & discretion

  • We request minimum permissions needed for the job.
  • We do not sell client data.
  • Access credentials should use limited-scope or temporary access when possible; rotate passwords after engagements if you prefer.
  • Privacy-tier setups (relay / isolation) are optional deliverables—not a guarantee of anonymity against sophisticated adversaries or employer monitoring policies.
