Commercial Policy / Project Terms

Payment, Cancellation & Refund Policy

This policy explains how Omnisenti handles payments, deposits, project cancellations, milestone work, client delays, out-of-scope requests, retainers, and refund requests.

Omnisenti provides implementation-led AI services, custom workflow design, integration, automation, voice AI, private AI, and managed AI operations. Because this work involves professional time, technical preparation, reserved capacity, and custom delivery, refund and cancellation requests are assessed against work performed, scope agreed, resources committed, deliverables provided, and applicable law.

Last updated: 22 May 2026

Overview

Policy at a Glance

Payments Reflect Work and Capacity

Deposits, upfront payments, and milestone payments may cover reserved delivery capacity, planning, discovery, technical preparation, configuration, meetings, implementation work, testing, and project management.

Work Already Performed Is Generally Not Refundable

Fees for work already performed, milestones delivered, or resources already committed are generally not refundable because of a client's change of mind, delay, budget change, internal dispute, or decision not to proceed with further phases.

Scope Changes Are Billable

Additional requests, extensions, new features, extra integrations, additional testing, or work outside the agreed scope may require a separate quote, change request, payment, or revised timeline.

Legal Rights Are Preserved

Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights, remedies, guarantees, or protections that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law where it applies.

This summary is provided for convenience. The full policy below explains how Omnisenti assesses payments, cancellations, project pauses, scope changes, retainers, and refund requests.

1 Scope of This Policy

This Payment, Cancellation & Refund Policy applies to Omnisenti's website enquiries, proposals, statements of work, invoices, project payments, deposits, milestone payments, implementation services, support arrangements, managed AI operations, and related commercial engagements, unless a separate signed agreement states otherwise.

This policy may apply to:

  • AI workflow reviews;
  • discovery and scoping;
  • solution architecture;
  • AI implementation projects;
  • voice AI systems;
  • private AI and knowledge systems;
  • workflow automation;
  • systems integration;
  • data analysis or reporting work;
  • quotation and business process automation;
  • support and troubleshooting;
  • managed AI operations retainers;
  • partner or distributor-related project work;
  • project extensions and change requests.

This policy should be read together with any relevant proposal, quote, invoice, statement of work, client agreement, support agreement, Terms & Conditions, and Privacy Policy.

2 Relationship to Quotes, Invoices, Proposals and Agreements

Project-specific commercial terms may be set out in a proposal, quote, invoice, statement of work, service agreement, support agreement, managed operations agreement, or other written arrangement.

If a signed or accepted client agreement contains specific payment, cancellation, refund, scope, or acceptance terms, those terms may prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with this policy, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Approval of a quote, written instruction to proceed, email confirmation, payment of an invoice, or continued engagement with project work may be treated as acceptance of the applicable scope, payment terms, and this policy, subject to applicable law and any separate agreement.

3 Deposits, Upfront Payments and Milestone Payments

Omnisenti may require deposits, upfront payments, milestone payments, phased payments, or retainers before commencing or continuing work.

These payments may cover:

  • reserved delivery capacity;
  • discovery and scoping;
  • meetings and consultation;
  • workflow review;
  • technical preparation;
  • solution architecture;
  • project management;
  • configuration and setup;
  • prompt and automation design;
  • third-party tool assessment or setup;
  • development and implementation work;
  • testing and quality assurance;
  • documentation;
  • handover preparation;
  • support readiness.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, deposits, upfront payments, and milestone payments are not simply holding fees. They reflect project time, capacity, planning, technical preparation, and delivery activity.

Once work has commenced, such payments may be non-refundable to the extent they relate to work performed, resources committed, milestones delivered, or non-recoverable costs incurred, subject to applicable law.

4 Work Already Performed

Fees for work already performed are generally not refundable merely because a client:

  • changes direction;
  • changes internal priorities;
  • changes budget;
  • changes management;
  • experiences internal stakeholder disagreement;
  • pauses communication;
  • decides not to proceed with later phases;
  • receives different advice from a third party;
  • no longer requires the work;
  • expected a different future support price;
  • requests cancellation after Omnisenti has already performed or delivered work.

Work already performed may include visible and non-visible work, including discovery, technical planning, system design, prompt architecture, configuration, testing, workflow design, project management, research, troubleshooting, meetings, documentation, communication, and internal delivery effort.

Omnisenti may assess completed work by reference to time spent, deliverables prepared, configuration completed, resources allocated, project stage, third-party costs, and the value of work already provided.

5 Cancellation Before Work Starts

If a client requests cancellation before Omnisenti has commenced work or allocated substantial resources, Omnisenti may consider a partial or full refund of amounts paid, subject to:

  • administrative time already spent;
  • payment processing fees;
  • discovery or preparation already performed;
  • third-party costs already incurred;
  • resources already reserved;
  • contractual terms;
  • applicable law.

Any refund assessment will depend on the specific circumstances and the relevant quote, invoice, proposal, or agreement.

6 Cancellation After Work Starts

If a client requests cancellation after work has commenced, Omnisenti may charge or retain fees for:

  • work already performed;
  • resources already committed;
  • milestones already delivered;
  • project management and communications;
  • technical preparation;
  • third-party costs;
  • non-recoverable expenses;
  • out-of-scope or change-request work already commenced;
  • any other amounts payable under the applicable agreement.

Cancellation after work has commenced does not automatically entitle the client to a refund.

Omnisenti may provide a project status summary, work-performed summary, or commercial assessment where appropriate.

7 Delivered Work and Milestone Acceptance

Work may be considered delivered when Omnisenti provides, makes available, demonstrates, configures, transfers, uploads, connects, documents, or otherwise presents the relevant deliverable, milestone, system component, configuration, workflow, report, design, or implementation output.

Delivered work may include:

  • workflow maps;
  • system architecture;
  • AI prompt structures;
  • voice AI configuration;
  • routing logic;
  • automation workflows;
  • integrations;
  • testing outputs;
  • documentation;
  • knowledge-base setup;
  • reports;
  • implementation plans;
  • support materials;
  • project files or system access.

If a client identifies a genuine issue with delivered work, the client should notify Omnisenti in writing within the timeframe specified in the relevant agreement or, if no timeframe is specified, within a reasonable period.

A request for additional features, new scope, advanced functionality, extra integrations, further optimisation, or changed business rules is not automatically a defect in delivered work. It may be treated as a change request or new scope.

8 Client Delays, Paused Projects and Restart Conditions

AI implementation projects often depend on timely client input, approvals, access, testing, content, data, credentials, feedback, subject-matter expertise, and decision-making.

If a project is delayed, paused, or inactive because the client does not provide required information, access, feedback, approvals, payment, or participation, Omnisenti may adjust timelines, pause delivery, reschedule resources, or review the project scope.

If a project is inactive for more than 30 days due to client-side delay, Omnisenti may require a restart review before resuming.

If a project is inactive for more than 60 days, Omnisenti may require updated scope confirmation, revised timing, additional payment, or a reactivation fee.

If a project is inactive for more than 90 days, Omnisenti may treat the original timeline, assumptions, pricing, technical design, or reserved capacity as expired and may require a new quote, revised statement of work, or updated agreement before recommencing.

These timeframes may be adjusted by written agreement.

Client-side delay does not automatically entitle the client to a refund for work already performed or resources already committed.

9 Scope Changes and Out-of-Scope Work

The agreed scope is defined by the relevant proposal, quote, statement of work, invoice, written confirmation, or client agreement.

Requests outside the agreed scope may include:

  • additional features;
  • new integrations;
  • extra workflow paths;
  • advanced routing logic;
  • additional phone numbers or departments;
  • new automations;
  • extra testing;
  • additional prompts or agents;
  • redesign of previously approved work;
  • new reporting;
  • additional training or documentation;
  • new business rules;
  • expanded support or optimisation;
  • changes requested after delivery.

Out-of-scope work may require a separate quote, change request, revised timeline, and additional payment.

Approval may be given by signed document, email confirmation, written message, payment, or other written instruction to proceed.

Once Omnisenti has commenced approved out-of-scope work, fees for that work may be payable even if the client later changes direction or cancels future work.

10 Retainers, Support and Managed AI Operations

Retainers, support packages, and Managed AI Operations arrangements cover only the services, hours, inclusions, response expectations, and scope described in the relevant package, proposal, invoice, or agreement.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, a retainer does not automatically include:

  • unlimited support;
  • unlimited optimisation;
  • unlimited prompt rewriting;
  • unlimited workflow changes;
  • new features;
  • new integrations;
  • emergency support;
  • full system rebuilds;
  • advanced reporting;
  • major reconfiguration;
  • new departments or routing structures;
  • new agents or automations;
  • ongoing development beyond the agreed support scope.

Support and optimisation work may be quoted separately where it falls outside the agreed retainer.

If a client declines a retainer or support package, Omnisenti may still charge separately for future troubleshooting, optimisation, changes, reactivation, support requests, or further development.

11 Third-Party Costs and Non-Recoverable Expenses

Some projects may involve third-party tools, platforms, APIs, hosting, telephony, AI providers, software subscriptions, licences, data services, payment processing, contractors, or other external costs.

Third-party costs may be non-refundable once incurred, committed, activated, configured, paid, or reserved.

If a client cancels, pauses, or changes direction, the client may remain responsible for third-party costs and non-recoverable expenses incurred in connection with the project.

Omnisenti is not responsible for third-party providers' refund policies, cancellation terms, pricing changes, platform limitations, outages, or service changes unless otherwise required by law or agreed in writing.

12 AI Implementation and Custom Technical Work

Omnisenti's services often involve custom professional and technical work rather than off-the-shelf products.

This work may include strategy, architecture, implementation, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, workflow design, AI prompt design, call-flow design, routing logic, integrations, knowledge-base preparation, private AI configuration, automation, and support planning.

Because custom AI implementation work may be partly invisible to the client until delivered, demonstrated, or documented, refund assessments will consider both visible deliverables and behind-the-scenes professional effort.

A client's decision not to use, continue, launch, or expand a delivered system does not automatically make the work refundable.

13 Refund Request Process

Refund requests must be made in writing to Omnisenti using the contact details below.

A refund request should include:

  • client name and organisation;
  • project name or invoice number;
  • amount requested;
  • reason for the request;
  • relevant dates;
  • work or milestone involved;
  • any issue the client believes has occurred;
  • supporting documents or correspondence.

Omnisenti may request additional information before assessing the request.

Omnisenti will assess refund requests in good faith, taking into account the relevant scope, work performed, milestones delivered, resources committed, third-party costs, payment terms, client conduct, legal obligations, and any applicable agreement.

Omnisenti will aim to respond within a reasonable period.

14 Refund Assessment Criteria

When assessing a refund request, Omnisenti may consider:

  • whether work had commenced;
  • whether discovery, scoping, planning, or technical preparation had occurred;
  • whether deliverables or milestones were provided;
  • whether the client approved the scope;
  • whether the client requested or approved additional work;
  • whether third-party costs were incurred;
  • whether the client caused delay or non-performance;
  • whether Omnisenti was prevented from completing the work;
  • whether the request relates to change of mind, budget change, or internal client circumstances;
  • whether the work failed to meet agreed requirements;
  • whether Omnisenti was given a reasonable opportunity to remedy an issue;
  • whether a separate agreement applies;
  • whether applicable law requires a remedy.

15 Circumstances Where Refunds Are Generally Not Provided

Subject to applicable law and any separate agreement, refunds are generally not provided for:

  • work already performed;
  • milestones already delivered;
  • discovery, scoping, planning, or consultation already completed;
  • technical preparation already performed;
  • project management and meetings already undertaken;
  • third-party costs or non-recoverable expenses;
  • client change of mind;
  • client budget changes;
  • client internal disputes or stakeholder disagreements;
  • client management or personnel changes;
  • client delay or failure to provide information, access, approvals, testing, feedback, or payment;
  • cancellation of future work after prior work has been completed;
  • dissatisfaction with quoted future support or retainer pricing;
  • requests to cancel approved out-of-scope work after Omnisenti has commenced it;
  • client decision not to launch, use, continue, or expand a delivered system;
  • issues caused by third-party tools, platforms, client systems, credentials, data quality, or client-side configuration outside Omnisenti's control;
  • work that needs further optimisation, unless the issue is within the agreed scope and Omnisenti has not had a reasonable opportunity to address it.

16 Circumstances Where a Remedy May Be Considered

Omnisenti may consider a remedy where:

  • Omnisenti has not commenced work;
  • a payment was made in error;
  • Omnisenti is unable to provide the agreed service;
  • a delivered service does not meet agreed requirements and Omnisenti is not able to remedy the issue within a reasonable manner;
  • applicable law requires a refund, repair, replacement, resupply, or other remedy;
  • Omnisenti agrees in writing to a refund or credit;
  • a separate client agreement provides a specific remedy.

Possible remedies may include:

  • further work to address an issue;
  • correction or re-supply of a service;
  • credit toward future services;
  • partial refund;
  • full refund where legally required or commercially agreed;
  • revised scope or revised delivery arrangement.

The appropriate remedy will depend on the circumstances and applicable law.

17 Australian Consumer Law and Non-Excludable Rights

Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights, remedies, guarantees, warranties, or protections that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified under applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law where it applies.

Where Omnisenti is permitted to limit liability or remedies for a breach of a non-excludable guarantee, Omnisenti's liability may be limited, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, to:

  • supplying the services again;
  • paying the cost of having the services supplied again;
  • replacing goods;
  • repairing goods;
  • paying the cost of replacing or repairing goods.

This policy is intended to operate subject to those non-excludable rights.

18 Disputes and Good-Faith Resolution

If a client disputes an invoice, milestone, payment, cancellation fee, refund decision, or scope item, the client should notify Omnisenti in writing as soon as possible.

The parties should first attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith by reviewing:

  • the agreed scope;
  • relevant communications;
  • work performed;
  • milestones delivered;
  • payments made;
  • client responsibilities;
  • change requests;
  • delays;
  • applicable agreement terms;
  • applicable law.

Unless otherwise agreed or legally required, a dispute about one item does not automatically cancel payment obligations for undisputed work already performed or other services already delivered.

19 Changes to This Policy

Omnisenti may update this Payment, Cancellation & Refund Policy from time to time to reflect changes in services, operations, commercial practices, legal requirements, technology, AI implementation methods, or business risk management.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

Where a separate client agreement applies, that agreement may continue to govern the relevant engagement unless otherwise agreed.
