REFUND POLICY
Last Updated: June 2026
Effective Date: June 1, 2026
1. OVERVIEW
AQ Systems LLC ("iVisaPortal") is committed to fair and transparent business practices. This Refund Policy explains the conditions under which refunds are available for our service fees.
2. UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU PAID FOR
When you use our service, your payment includes two components:
(a) The Department of Home Affairs ETA service fee (AUD $20)
(b) Our service fee — for our private application review, assistance, and customer support
Different refund rules apply to each component, as explained below.
3. RIGHT TO CANCEL BEFORE WE BEGIN (FULL REFUND)
You are entitled to a FULL refund of your entire payment if you request cancellation BEFORE our team has begun reviewing and handling your application.
To qualify, contact us at support@ivisaportal.com:
- Within 24 hours of placing your order, AND
- Before our team has begun work on your application
Most applications are picked up for review within 1–4 hours. Once the official AUD $20 fee has been paid to the Department of Home Affairs in connection with your application, that government fee becomes non-refundable.
4. EU/UK COOLING-OFF PERIOD
If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under applicable distance-selling laws. However, by purchasing our service and asking us to begin work immediately, you acknowledge that:
- You are requesting expedited performance before the 14-day period ends
- Once we have completed our service, you lose the right to withdraw because the service has been fully performed
- Before we begin, you retain your withdrawal rights
5. SERVICE FEE REFUNDS AFTER WORK HAS BEGUN
If our work has begun, you may still be eligible for a partial or full refund of OUR SERVICE FEE (but not the AUD $20 government fee) in these circumstances:
(a) Technical Error by Us: If we made a technical error that resulted in incorrect information being used (when the correct information was provided by you), you are entitled to a full refund of our service fee.
(b) Duplicate Charge: If you were inadvertently charged twice for the same application, you are entitled to a full refund of the duplicate charge.
(c) Failure to Perform: If we fail to perform our service within the timeframe stated in your selected service tier (excluding circumstances beyond our reasonable control), you are entitled to a full refund of our service fee.
(d) Fraud or Unauthorised Charge: If your payment was fraudulent or unauthorised, you are entitled to a full refund. Please also report the matter to your bank.
6. NON-REFUNDABLE CIRCUMSTANCES
The following are NOT eligible for a refund:
(a) Government Fee Once Paid: The AUD $20 Department of Home Affairs ETA service fee, once paid to the government in connection with an application, is non-refundable. We have no control over this.
(b) Application Refusal by Government: If the Department of Home Affairs refuses your ETA, our service fee is non-refundable. The decision is made solely by the government based on factors outside our control. We performed our service (review and assistance) regardless of the outcome.
(c) Inaccurate Information Provided by Applicant: If your application is refused or delayed because of inaccurate, incomplete, or false information YOU provided, our service fee is non-refundable.
(d) Change of Mind After Work Has Begun: Once our review has begun, we cannot refund our service fee for a simple change of mind.
(e) Failure to Meet Government Eligibility: If you are ineligible for an ETA based on your nationality, prior immigration history, or other factors determined by the Department of Home Affairs, our service fee remains non-refundable. It is your responsibility to determine eligibility before applying.
(f) Travel Plans Changed: If you cancel your travel after your ETA has been processed, refunds are not available.
