1. General Principles
1.1 AYKA Clyvora Private Limited ("Company", "AYKA", "We", "Us") operates Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription platforms and a patient teleconsultation marketplace. The nature of digital services means that value is delivered from the moment access is granted; accordingly, all fees paid are generally non-refundable except as expressly provided in this Policy.
1.2 Non-Refundable as Default: All Subscription Fees paid by doctors, clinics, and hospitals for AYKA Expert and AYKA Life — whether monthly or annual — are non-refundable. No cash refund, pro-rata refund, or service credit will be issued upon cancellation, downgrade, or early termination of a subscription, except as provided in Clause 9 (Platform Downtime).
1.3 Patients — AYKA Wallet Credit Model: All consultation fees paid by patients through AYKA Care are non-refundable as cash. In specified circumstances (doctor no-show, technical failure), eligible amounts will be credited to the patient's AYKA Wallet, which may be used for future consultations on the platform.
1.4 This Policy is to be read alongside the Terms of Use applicable to your user type, the Subscription Terms, and the Privacy Policy, all available at the relevant AYKA platform website. In the event of conflict between this Policy and any Subscription Terms or Terms of Use, this Policy shall prevail in respect of refund and cancellation matters.
1.5 Nothing in this Policy limits or excludes any rights You may have as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, including the right to approach the appropriate Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Statutory consumer rights are preserved in all circumstances.
2. AYKA Wallet — Credit Mechanism
2.1 What is the AYKA Wallet: The AYKA Wallet is an in-platform credit account associated with each registered user's profile on AYKA Care. Wallet credits are denominated in Indian Rupees (₹) and may be used exclusively for booking consultations and availing services on the AYKA Care platform.
2.2 Wallet credits are non-transferable between user accounts and cannot be converted to cash, redeemed for cash value, or transferred outside the AYKA platform ecosystem.
2.3 Validity: Wallet credits issued under this Policy are valid for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of credit. Unused credits will expire at the end of this validity period. The Company will send a reminder notification at least fourteen (14) days before expiry.
2.4 The Company reserves the right to modify the terms, validity period, or permitted uses of AYKA Wallet credits with thirty (30) days' prior notice. Any modification will not affect credits already earned and credited to the Wallet before the effective date of the modification.
2.5 Wallet Credit Timeline: All Wallet credits issued under this Policy will be reflected in the Subscriber's or Patient's AYKA Wallet within the timelines specified in each relevant clause. In all cases, credits will be issued within a maximum of seven (7) working days of the qualifying event, unless a shorter timeline is specified.
3. Patient Consultation Fee Policy

3.4.1 If a patient fails to join within 15 minutes of the start time, the consultation is treated as a patient no-show. No Wallet credit or refund is issued.
