Arbitration of such a dispute will be by a third party agreed between TBRC and the client.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

Orders for our products and services can be placed by either signing an order form, or by written confirmation or by making a payment for a specified product or service. These actions are regarded as a legal commitment to buy and pay for the product or service. Unfortunately due to the nature of our business we can not offer cancellations or refunds on our products and services. This is because there is considerable specific work involved in most of our products and services which can not always be reutilised, and may be conducted upon order/ payment and before the product or service is delivered. In addition the value of the products and services is based on their internal IP, which is fully available once the product is delivered.
We make every effort to ensure the high quality of our products and ensure all customers are satisfied, as is shown by our large number of happy repeat customers, including incorporating post sale feedback within the scope of the project or product as sold. Please email info@tbrc.info or call +44 207 1930 708 for any specific queries relating to this.
