This Refund Policy & Cancellation Policy applies to HRMS4U, a cloud-based HRMS SaaS platform operated by DesignzIndia.

3.4 Enterprise / Custom Contracts
Custom contracts may include separate cancellation clauses, notice periods, migration obligations, or termination fees as agreed in writing.
4. Auto-Renewal Policy

To avoid renewal charges, customers should cancel before the renewal date.
Failure to cancel before renewal may result in charges for the next term.
