Before using the estimator

Service Price and Transaction Costs Are Different

We keep the two separate so you can see what the policy calculates and what independent parties may determine later. We never guess a fee or present it as an automatic deduction.

01

Service price

The amount actually paid for the booking after any discount.

02

Policy-based refund

The eligible percentage based on cancellation timing or work stage.

03

External charges

Actual charges a provider or bank may impose and Nada Harfoush does not receive.

The actual-record rule

Any non-refundable external cost is determined only from the actual transaction record, where applicable and legally permitted. Customers are not asked to enter merchant or internal processing costs, and the estimator deducts nothing automatically.

Tabby

Tabby

Refunds follow Tabby’s applicable workflow and terms; instalments or the return route may change with payment status. The estimator does not calculate or deduct a Tabby or provider charge automatically.

Tabby customer refund guidanceopens in a new tab
What may be unknown in advance?

Card-issuer, customer-bank, sending-bank, receiving-bank, SWIFT, intermediary-bank, correspondent-bank, currency-conversion, foreign-exchange, cross-border handling and other third-party banking costs may affect the final amount. Nada Harfoush does not receive or control them, and they may not be visible or predictable in advance.

See the policy calculation clearly

Refund Estimator

The estimator uses current site prices for illustration. An actual request is calculated from the amount paid after any discount, in the transaction currency, and after accounting for any prior refund.

What does the payment selection do?

Original processing or conversion costs may be non-refundable depending on the transaction. Selecting Stripe here does not calculate an automatic deduction.

This selection displays contextual guidance only; it does not automatically calculate or deduct a payment-provider charge.

What Does 50% Mean in Numbers?

These are calculation examples for scenarios where the policy provides 50%; they do not mean every cancellation qualifies for that amount. No provider or bank fee is invented.

Scheduled appointments

Cancellations & Rescheduling

Notice is measured from receipt through an official contact channel to the confirmed appointment time in the booking’s stated time zone. “Same day” is descriptive; the 24- or 48-hour threshold remains the calculation rule.

01

Online appointments

  • 24 hours or more before: 50% of the service price is refundable.
  • Under 24 hours or same day: Normally non-refundable.
  • No-show: Normally non-refundable.
02

Normal rescheduling

Rescheduling may be requested at least 72 hours before the confirmed appointment, subject to availability. This window governs appointment changes and does not alter the 24-hour online or 48-hour Dubai cancellation thresholds.

03

Exceptional circumstances

In a genuine emergency, Nada Harfoush may, at its discretion, offer one complimentary rescheduling opportunity instead of forfeiting the appointment, subject to availability and timely communication. This is a goodwill accommodation, not an automatic contractual right.

Repeated rescheduling

It does not automatically qualify for another exceptional accommodation. Missing the replacement appointment or repeatedly changing it may trigger the applicable cancellation or no-show rule.

Once work on your case begins

How Service Progress Affects a Refund

We distinguish between a service not yet started, a personalized file in progress, and a completed service after final delivery. The test is substantive professional work, not merely the arrival of a message or document.

A
No-meeting track

Consultations Delivered Through a File

Before information and work

50%

Before the required information is received and before substantive work begins, the normal rule for this service applies: 50% of the service price is refundable under the policy.

Information received and work started

Maximum 50%

If the required information has been received and substantive professional work has begun, but the final file has not been delivered, the maximum service-price refund is 50%.

Final file delivered

0%

The service is complete and non-refundable, unless a refund is required by law or the company did not provide the service as agreed.

B
After an online or in-person meeting

Meeting Completed, Personalized File in Progress

Before final file delivery

Maximum 50%

If the meeting has taken place, the case has been discussed, the required information collected and substantive work on the personalized file begun, the maximum service-price refund before final delivery is 50%.

After final file delivery

0%

The service is complete and non-refundable, unless a refund is required by law or the company did not provide the service as agreed.

When does substantive work begin?

Receipt of information alone is not sufficient proof that work has begun. It must be accompanied by the commencement of substantive professional work on the case.

  • Reviewing health information or history
  • Reviewing medical reports or laboratory results
  • Preparing case-specific follow-up questions
  • Beginning individualized research or assessment
  • Starting the tailored consultation or program file
Special terms before and after the meeting

Dubai Office Appointments

Pre-appointment rules reflect committed travel, accommodation, office arrangements and reserved in-person time. After the meeting takes place, final-file progress becomes the governing stage.

48+

After the Dubai meeting
Final file not delivered50%

If information was collected and substantive file work began, the maximum service-price refund is 50%.

Final file delivered0%

The service is complete and non-refundable, unless a refund is required by law or the company did not provide the service as agreed.

The no-show rule applies only before a meeting takes place and cannot override a completed-service or delivered-file state. If the company cannot provide the service, the full-refund rule below applies.

Two stages, two different timeframes

When Will I Receive My Refund?

Our issuance time is not the same as the time funds appear in your account. This distinction sets a realistic expectation from approval through bank posting.

01
Refund initiated by Nada Harfoush

48 hours

We initiate an approved refund within 48 hours after refund eligibility has been reviewed, the eligible amount has been determined and the refund has been approved.

02
Provider or bank posting

5–14 business days, approximately

After we initiate the refund, it typically appears within approximately 5–14 business days. Some transactions may take longer depending on the provider, bank and original payment method.

When does the 48-hour window begin?

It begins after eligibility review, amount determination and refund approval; it does not necessarily begin with the customer’s first cancellation message.

Where is the refund sent?

Where legally and technically possible, the refund normally returns through the original route: card, Ziina, Tabby workflow or a verified bank account.

We cannot guarantee the date on which the funds will appear in your account after the refund has been issued, as subsequent banking and settlement processes operate outside Nada Harfoush’s systems.

Domestic and international transfers

Bank Transfers & International Charges

A payment or refund may pass through several financial institutions. That can create a difference between the amount we issue and the net amount the receiving bank posts.

Charges outside our systems

What may apply?

Charges may come from the card issuer, customer bank, sending or receiving bank, SWIFT, intermediary or correspondent banks, currency conversion, FX differences, cross-border handling or other third-party banking services.

These charges may not be visible or predictable in advance. Nada Harfoush does not receive or control them; they may be borne by the customer under third-party rules and may affect the final amount credited.

OUR

The sender bears sending-bank and other-bank charges.

SHA

The sender bears its bank’s charges; the beneficiary bears other-bank charges. This is not necessarily a 50/50 split.

BEN

The beneficiary bears sending-bank and other-bank charges from the transferred amount.

Currency and foreign exchange

The home-currency amount may differ because of exchange-rate movement, issuer or bank conversion, or cross-border settlement, so it may not match the original statement entry.

Service VAT and provider charges

Service VAT remains separate from tax or charges a provider applies to its own costs. Amounts are reviewed from the invoice and actual provider record.

Two different routes

Refunds, Disputes & Chargebacks

Refund request

A resolution processed by Nada Harfoush under this policy after eligibility and amount review.

Dispute or chargeback

A separate process initiated through the card issuer or provider that may involve evidence, fees and different timelines.

Customers are welcome to contact us first so an eligible request can be resolved promptly where possible, without limiting any legal right to dispute a transaction.

When the customer did not cause the cancellation

Company Cancellations, Errors & Disruptions

Company unable to provide the service

If Nada Harfoush cancels or cannot provide the purchased service for a company-side reason, the customer is offered either a full refund of the amount paid for the affected service or an alternative appointment or service the customer accepts, in accordance with applicable UAE consumer-protection requirements.

The customer does not bear ordinary payment-processing losses caused solely by a company-initiated cancellation. Independent posting times or downstream bank effects after issuance may remain outside company control.

Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 on Consumer Protectionopens in a new tab

Duplicate payment or clear error

A duplicate or incorrect amount is investigated and refunded once verified; it is not treated as an ordinary voluntary cancellation.

Events outside reasonable control

Rescheduling is offered first where possible for severe weather, government restrictions, major transport disruption or widespread technical outage. If no reasonable solution is possible, the outcome follows applicable law.

Discounted booking or partial refund

Percentages apply to the amount actually paid, not a higher list price, and total refunds cannot exceed the original transaction.

This policy operates subject to UAE consumer-protection law and any other mandatory rights. Nothing limits statutory remedies for a defective, incomplete or improperly provided service.
