Cancellation, Refunds, and Termination
Because Gyoseishoshi services involve factual review, document review, strategy review, and document preparation for each case, refunds after work has started are limited. If an individual quotation, agreement, invoice, or consultation terms separately states different conditions, those individual conditions take priority.
| Cancellation of Paid Consultation |
If cancellation is made at least 24 hours before the scheduled consultation start time, a full refund is available. No refund is available for cancellation within 24 hours, no-show, or after the consultation time has passed. |

| Refund After Online Payment | If a refund is approved, it will generally be processed to the original payment method. The time required for the refund to appear may depend on the payment provider or card issuer. |
| Termination of Gyoseishoshi Services | If the client cancels, withdraws, or terminates the matter for the client’s reason, settlement will be made according to the progress of the case. The retainer is generally non-refundable, and additional work or actual expenses already incurred may be charged separately. |
| Denial or Non-Acceptance |
Our office does not guarantee approval, acceptance, or a favorable result by Immigration or other administrative authorities. Whether the remaining balance is charged in the event of denial depends on the individual agreement or quotation terms. Government fees, actual expenses, and costs already incurred are non-refundable. |
| Cooling-Off |
In principle, the cooling-off system under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions does not apply to mail-order or online applications made through websites, inquiry forms, email, messaging apps, online payment links, or similar means. However, if separate cancellation terms are provided, those terms will apply. |
