Refund Policy
AstroTherapy | astrotherapy.com Effective Date: 13 May 2026 Last Updated: 13 July 2026
1. Overview
This Refund Policy applies to all consultation and report services purchased through the AstroTherapy website (astrotherapy.com) or by direct booking with Shweta Naisar Kothari, sole proprietor of AstroTherapy (GSTIN: 27BBEPC0300H1ZH).
We aim to be fair and transparent. Please read this policy carefully before making a payment.
2. Consultation Services — Refund Eligibility
2.1 Full Refund (100%)
You are entitled to a full refund if:
- You cancel at least 48 hours before the scheduled consultation time.
- AstroTherapy cancels or reschedules the session for any reason and you do not wish to accept the rescheduled time.
- Technical failure on our end prevents the session from being conducted (e.g., video conferencing platform failure attributable to AstroTherapy), and a rescheduled session is not acceptable to you.
2.2 No Refund
No refund will be issued if:
- You cancel less than 24 hours before the scheduled consultation time. (You may, however, request a one-time reschedule — see our Cancellation Policy for details.)
- You fail to attend ("no-show") a confirmed consultation for the second or subsequent time. (Your first no-show entitles you to one complimentary reschedule — see Section 4.)
- The session has been completed. Once a consultation has been delivered in full, no refund is available.
- You are dissatisfied with the content of the consultation. Astrology and numerology are interpretive disciplines; disagreement with the guidance provided does not constitute grounds for a refund.
2.3 Partial Refund / Case-by-Case
If you cancel between 24 and 48 hours before the scheduled session, AstroTherapy may, at its sole discretion, offer:
- A credit toward a future consultation of equal or lesser value, OR
- A partial refund of up to 50% of the consultation fee
This is not guaranteed and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
3. Numerology Reports — Refund Eligibility
Numerology report services (Name Correction Report, Baby Name Report, Business Name Report, Mobile Number Analysis) follow a consultation-first process: after payment you schedule a personal pre-consultation with Dr. Shweta Kothari, the report is then hand-curated based on that discussion, and the final PDF is delivered to your registered email.
Because each report is custom work that begins with your pre-consultation, refund eligibility is tied to how far your order has progressed:
3.1 Full Refund (100%)
You are entitled to a full refund if:
- You cancel before your pre-consultation session has been held.
- AstroTherapy is unable to offer you a pre-consultation slot within a reasonable period of your purchase and you do not wish to wait.
- Technical failure on our end prevents the pre-consultation from being conducted, and a rescheduled session is not acceptable to you.
3.2 Partial Refund / Case-by-Case
If you cancel after the pre-consultation has been held but before report curation has begun, AstroTherapy may, at its sole discretion, offer:
- A credit toward another AstroTherapy service of equal or lesser value, OR
- A partial refund of up to 50% of the report fee
This reflects the professional consultation time already delivered. It is not guaranteed and is assessed case-by-case.
3.3 No Refund
No refund will be issued once:
- Report curation has begun following your pre-consultation, or
- The report PDF has been delivered to your registered email address.
As with consultations, dissatisfaction with the interpretive content of a delivered report does not constitute grounds for a refund.
3.4 Pre-Consultation No-Shows
If you fail to attend a scheduled pre-consultation without notice, the No-Show Policy in Section 4 applies in the same way as for consultations: your first no-show entitles you to one complimentary reschedule; a second no-show forfeits the report fee.
4. No-Show Policy
| Occurrence | Consequence |
|---|---|
| First no-show | One complimentary reschedule. You must contact us within 48 hours of the missed session. Rescheduled session must occur within 30 days of the original booking. |
| Second or subsequent no-show | Full consultation fee is forfeited. No refund, no reschedule. |
A "no-show" means you did not join the scheduled consultation session and did not provide at least 24 hours' prior notice of cancellation or rescheduling.
