Refund Policy
1. Introduction
This Refund Policy ("Policy") governs the refund process for services booked and payments made through the Metow application ("the App"). The App is owned and operated by Zynirya Pvt. Ltd. ("the Company"). By using the App and making a payment, you agree to this Policy.
2. Scope of the Policy
This Policy applies to payments made directly to Metow for:
- Booking fees.
- Any prepayments for services offered by a salon through the App.
- Any other charges clearly specified by Metow.
3. General Refund Conditions
Intermediary Role:
Metow is a platform that facilitates bookings between users and salons. Refunds for the actual service rendered by the salon (e.g., haircut, spa treatment) are subject to the individual salon's policies. Any disputes regarding the quality of service should be addressed directly with the salon.
Non-Refundable Payments:
- Payments for services that have been successfully provided by the salon.
- Payments for bookings that are cancelled by the user after the specified cancellation window.
- Payments for bookings where the user is a "no-show" (fails to attend the appointment without prior cancellation).
4. Eligibility for Refund
A full or partial refund may be considered by Metow only in the following situations:
- Salon Cancellation: The salon partner cancels a confirmed booking due to reasons on their end (e.g., salon closure, unavailability of a stylist) and is unable to reschedule the appointment to a suitable time for the user.
- Technical Errors: A payment is successfully debited from the user's account, but the booking is not confirmed or reflected in the App due to a technical error on Metow's platform.
- Duplicate Payments: A user is charged multiple times for a single booking due to a payment gateway error.
5. How to Request a Refund
You must submit a refund request within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment time by contacting Metow's customer support:

Subject Line: Refund Request – [Your Booking ID]
Details to Include:
- Your full name and registered phone number.
- The unique Booking ID/Reference Number.
- The date, time, and name of the salon for the booking.

6. Refund Processing
- All refund requests are subject to review and verification by Metow.
- If a refund is approved, the amount will be processed within 7-10 business days.
- Refunds will be credited back to the original payment method used for the booking. The time it takes for the refund to appear in your account may vary depending on your bank or payment gateway's policies.
7. Policy Changes
