Refund & Cancellation Policy

Usign (Pty) Ltd
Last Updated: 3rd March 2026

1. Introduction

Usign (Pty) Ltd ("Usign", "we", "our", or "us") is a Botswana-founded and Botswana-based technology company delivering secure electronic signature solutions under the promise "Your Digital Signature."

This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains the terms under which customers may cancel subscriptions or request refunds for software licenses and services provided through our:

  • Cloud-based digital signature platform (Software-as-a-Service - SaaS)
  • Private Tenant Deployments

By purchasing or subscribing to Usign services, you agree to this policy.

2. Nature of Our Services

Usign provides digital services including:

  • Electronic document signing
  • Workflow automation
  • Secure digital archiving
  • User based access
  • Subscription-based access to our platform

Because our services are digital, instantly accessible and license-based, special refund conditions apply.

3. Envelopes, Licensing and Payments

Usign services operate on an envelope-based licensing model. An envelope represents a document transaction processed through the Usign platform, with one (1) envelope equivalent to P1.00. Each signatory added to a document within an envelope is charged at a rate of P5.00 per signatory.

Customers may obtain envelopes through the following methods:

3.1 Online Purchase within the Platform

Customers may purchase envelopes directly within the Usign system. Envelope bundles may be purchased starting from P100 or more, and the corresponding envelope credits will be allocated to the customer account immediately upon successful payment.

3.2 Bank Payment and Manual Allocation

Customers may alternatively make payment via bank transfer or other approved payment methods. Upon confirmation of payment, Usign will allocate the purchased envelope credits to the customer's account accordingly.

3.3 Usage of Envelopes

Envelope credits are deducted automatically each time a document is signed. Charges are calculated based on the number of signatories participating in the signing process.

3.4 Storage Charges

Cloud-based customer accounts include a base storage allocation as defined in the Terms and Conditions. Additional storage charges may apply where the allocated limit is exceeded.

3.5 Refund Policy

Envelope credits that have already been allocated to a customer account are non-refundable once activated, except in cases of duplicate payment or billing error as determined by Usign.

4. Private Tenant Deployments

For organisations opting for private hosting and deployment:

4.1 Setup & Implementation Fees

4.2 Annual Support & Maintenance

5. Data and Document Ownership

Customers retain full ownership of all documents uploaded to the platform. Usign acts only as a service provider facilitating secure electronic signing and document management.

Customers are responsible for maintaining backups of their documents, as Usign provides access to document downloads and email copies but does not assume responsibility for retained copies.

6. Trial Accounts

If Usign offers:

  • Free trials
  • Demonstration accounts
  • Pilot deployments

No payment is required during the trial period unless explicitly stated. Once a trial converts into a paid subscription, standard refund rules apply.

7. Exceptional Refund Circumstances

Refunds may be considered under the following limited circumstances:

  1. Duplicate payments
  2. Incorrect billing due to system error
  3. Technical failure preventing service activation where Usign is unable to resolve the issue within a reasonable time
  4. Regulatory or compliance-related restrictions preventing lawful use of the service

All refund requests must be submitted in writing to:

Email: accounts@usign.co.bw
Subject Line: Refund Request - Account Name

Usign reserves the right to request supporting documentation before processing any refund.

8. Service Downtime & Technical Issues

  • Temporary service interruptions do not automatically qualify for refunds.
  • Service credits may be issued at Usign's discretion.

9. Government & Institutional Contracts

  • Refund and cancellation terms may be governed by specific written agreements.
  • In the event of a conflict between this policy and a signed contract, the signed contract prevails.

10. Payment Disputes & Chargebacks

Customers agree to contact Usign first before initiating any chargeback or payment dispute.
Unresolved chargebacks may result in:

  • Immediate suspension of service
  • Termination of account access
  • Legal recovery proceedings where applicable

11. Data Retention After Cancellation

  • Access to the platform will still be enabled at the end of the subscription period.
  • Customers are responsible for exporting their data prior and after termination.
  • Usign may retain archived records in accordance with legal, compliance and audit requirements for a period of 3 months.

12. Policy Updates

Usign reserves the right to update this Refund & Cancellation Policy at any time. Updates will be published on our website and become effective immediately upon publication.
