Refund Policy
This Refund Policy explains how refunds are handled for purchases made on
Registry Office UK (“we”, “us”, “our”). By purchasing any listing or subscription
on our website, you agree to this policy.
1. Types of Purchases Covered
We offer two types of paid services:
- Single-Payment Listings
A one-off payment for a fixed-duration listing on our directory. - Subscription Listings
Ongoing listings billed on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly or annually) until cancelled.
This policy applies to both purchase types.
2. Statutory Rights
Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under UK law, including your rights under the
Consumer Rights Act 2015.
3. Refunds for Single-Payment Listings
3.1 Digital Service Nature
Directory listings are considered a digital service that begins immediately upon
purchase or when the listing goes live.
3.2 Cooling-Off Period
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, consumers normally have a 14-day cooling-off period.
However, by submitting your listing and choosing to publish it immediately, you expressly consent to
the immediate start of the service and acknowledge that the cooling-off period no longer applies once
the service has begun.
3.3 When Refunds Are Granted
Refunds for single-payment listings may be issued only if:
- We fail to publish your listing within the agreed timeframe;
- The listing is published with errors caused by us and we are unable to correct them within a reasonable time;
- A technical issue on our platform prevents your listing from being displayed for a significant portion of the listing period.
3.4 When Refunds Are Not Granted
We do not offer refunds for:
- Change of mind after purchase;
- Listings that were published correctly and on time;
- Situations where you fail to provide required information, images, or content;
- Early removal of your listing at your request.
4. Refunds for Subscription Listings
4.1 Recurring Charges
Subscriptions renew automatically at the stated interval until cancelled.
4.2 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account dashboard or by contacting us.
After cancellation, your listing will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
4.3 Refund Eligibility for Subscriptions
You may be eligible for a refund only if:
- A subscription listing was not activated or published due to our error;
- A technical fault on our platform prevents your listing from being displayed for a significant portion of the billing cycle;
- You were charged in error due to a system fault.
4.4 Non-Refundable Situations
We do not provide refunds for:
- Unused time remaining in your billing period after cancellation;
- Renewals that occurred before you cancelled the subscription;
- Changes of mind or dissatisfaction not related to service failure;
- Missing or incomplete listing information provided by you.
5. Business Customers
If you are purchasing on behalf of a business, you acknowledge that:
- Certain consumer protections (including cooling-off rights) may not apply; and
- Refunds are granted only where required by law or where specified in this policy.
6. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund, please contact us at:

Please include:
- Your name;

7. Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback without first giving us the opportunity to resolve the issue, we may suspend
or terminate your account and remove your listings until the matter is resolved.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with
an updated “Last updated” date.
