Cancellation & Refund Policy

Last updated: 4 November 2026

This policy explains how cancellations and refunds work for payments made on Modern Mechanics 24 (https://modernmechanics24.com/): premium memberships and voluntary contributions made through “Support Our Journalism”. If you have a question about a payment, write to us at contact@modernmechanics24.com.

1. What We Sell

We sell digital memberships that unlock premium articles on this website for a fixed period: 1 month, 3 months, 1 year or 3 years. Memberships are delivered online only, and nothing is shipped. Payments are processed securely by our payment partners, Razorpay and PayPal.

2. Cancelling Auto-Renewal

• Plans bought with “Subscribe” renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.

• You can cancel auto-renewal at any time from your Membership Account page, or by emailing us from the email address on your account.

• Once you cancel, you will not be charged again. You keep access to premium articles until the end of the period you have already paid for.

• Plans bought with “pay once” do not renew, so there is nothing to cancel. Access ends at the end of the period.

3. Refunds for Memberships

Premium articles become available as soon as your payment is confirmed, so membership fees are generally non-refundable, and we do not refund unused days of a period. We will refund you in full if:

• you were charged more than once for the same membership;

• you were charged for a renewal after you had cancelled auto-renewal; or

• your payment succeeded but your membership was not activated, and we could not fix it within 2 business days of you contacting us.

Please ask for a refund within 7 days of the charge.

4. Contributions

Contributions made through “Support Our Journalism” are voluntary payments to support our work. They do not include a membership, access to premium articles or any other product or service, and they are not refundable, except where you were charged twice or entered the wrong amount by mistake and tell us within 7 days.

5. How to Ask for a Refund

Email contact@modernmechanics24.com from the email address you paid with, and include:

• the date and amount of the payment;

• the payment ID from your receipt (a Razorpay payment ID starts with “pay_”), or your PayPal transaction ID; and

• the reason for the refund.

We will reply within 2 business days.

6. When You Will Get Your Money

• Approved refunds are paid back to the original payment method (card, UPI, bank account or PayPal). We cannot refund to a different account.

• Refunds usually reach your account within 5–7 business days of approval. The exact time depends on your bank or card issuer.

• If you paid in a currency other than your card’s currency, your bank may convert the refund at a different exchange rate, so the amount credited may differ slightly from the amount debited.

7. Failed or Pending Payments

If money was debited but the payment failed or stayed pending, you do not need to ask for a refund: the amount is returned to you automatically, usually within 5–7 business days. If it has not arrived after that, email us with the details.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The version on this page when you made a payment applies to that payment.
