Payment & Refund Policy
This Policy explains how payments, digital tributes, family-support transactions, refunds, reversals and payment disputes will be handled when payment services are available through TributeHarbor.
Payment Features May Not Yet Be Active
TributeHarbor is currently in an early pilot stage. Digital tribute prices, family-support payments and other payment examples shown on demonstration memorials may be illustrative only until live payment functionality is activated.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Payment & Refund Policy applies when TributeHarbor enables paid services, including:
- Digital flowers
- Memorial candles
- Digital wreaths
- Condolence gifts
- Family-support transactions
- Memorial-related service fees
- Other paid features clearly identified on TributeHarbor
Additional payment-provider rules may also apply depending on the payment method selected.
2. Currency
During the initial Malaysian launch, prices are expected to be displayed primarily in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR / RM).
If TributeHarbor later supports additional countries or currencies, the applicable currency will be displayed before payment is confirmed.
Your bank, card issuer or payment provider may apply its own currency-conversion or international transaction charges. Such external charges are not controlled by TributeHarbor.
3. Payment Processing
TributeHarbor intends to process transactions using appropriate third-party payment providers.
Depending on the payment provider and payment method, users may be able to pay using methods such as:
- Online banking
- FPX
- DuitNow
- Payment cards
- Supported digital wallets
- Other approved payment methods
Available methods may change over time.
TributeHarbor will not ask for your online-banking password.
Payment authentication should take place through the relevant bank, card network or payment provider's secure interface.
4. Digital Tributes
Digital tributes are symbolic expressions of condolence. Examples may include:
- Digital Rose
- Memorial Candle
- Digital Flower
- Digital Wreath
- Other virtual condolence items
Unless clearly stated otherwise, a digital tribute does not include delivery of a physical product.
After successful payment, the tribute may be displayed on the relevant memorial together with the sender's name and message, subject to moderation and family preferences.
5. Family Support
TributeHarbor may allow visitors to send financial support to a verified family recipient.
Family Support is intended as a personal condolence or support payment to the identified recipient.
Family Support is not necessarily a charitable donation.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, payments made through TributeHarbor should not be assumed to qualify for charitable tax deductions or official donation receipts.
Recipient verification requirements may be imposed before family-support functionality is activated.
6. Platform and Processing Fees
TributeHarbor may charge a platform fee, service fee or transaction-related fee for certain paid services.
Third-party payment providers may also charge processing fees.
Where applicable, fees should be disclosed before the user confirms payment or otherwise explained through the relevant payment page or service terms.
TributeHarbor may change future pricing or fee structures, but changes will not retroactively alter transactions that have already been completed.
7. When a Payment Is Considered Successful
A transaction is considered successful only after the applicable payment provider confirms successful payment.
A screen showing that a payment is “processing”, “pending” or “submitted” does not necessarily mean that final payment has been received.
TributeHarbor may delay display of a paid tribute or transfer of family-support funds until payment confirmation is received.
8. Refund Eligibility
Refund requests will be reviewed according to the circumstances of the transaction.
| Situation | General Approach |
|---|---|
| Duplicate payment | A verified duplicate transaction may be eligible for refund. |
| Incorrect amount caused by a technical error | TributeHarbor will investigate and may refund or correct the affected amount where appropriate. |
| Payment charged but transaction failed | We will investigate with the payment provider. A reversal or refund may be issued where appropriate. |
| Unauthorized or fraudulent transaction | The transaction may be investigated with the relevant payment provider and handled according to applicable payment and fraud procedures. |
| Payment sent to the wrong memorial | Contact TributeHarbor as soon as possible. Refund availability depends on whether the transaction has already been processed or transferred. |
| User changes their mind after a digital tribute is delivered | A refund may not normally be available once the digital service has already been provided, subject to applicable law. |
| Family Support already transferred to the recipient | A refund may not be possible after funds have been transferred to the verified recipient, except where required by law or where fraud or payment error is established. |
9. Digital Tribute Refunds
Digital tributes may be delivered or displayed shortly after successful payment.
Once a digital tribute has been displayed, associated with the memorial or otherwise fulfilled, it may be treated as a completed digital service.
Refunds may still be considered where:
- The transaction was duplicated
- The amount charged was incorrect
- The transaction resulted from a confirmed technical error
- The payment was unauthorized
- The memorial was fraudulent
- Applicable law requires a refund
10. Family-Support Refunds
Family Support is different from purchasing a normal product. The intention is to transfer support to the identified family or verified recipient.
If the payment has not yet been transferred to the intended recipient, TributeHarbor and/or the payment provider may have more ability to cancel or refund it.
Once funds have been successfully transferred to the verified recipient, TributeHarbor may be unable to recover the payment.
Cases involving fraud, mistaken recipient information, unauthorized transactions or legal requirements will be reviewed separately.
11. Memorial Removed After Payment
A memorial may later be restricted or removed because of:
- Family request
- Verification concerns
- Fraud
- Family dispute
- Violation of TributeHarbor policies
- Legal or regulatory requirements
Removal of a memorial does not automatically mean that every previous transaction must be refunded.
TributeHarbor will consider factors such as:
- Whether the digital tribute was already delivered
- Whether family-support funds were already transferred
- The reason the memorial was removed
- Whether fraud was involved
- Applicable legal obligations
12. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund or report a payment problem, contact TributeHarbor at:
support@tributeharbor.com
Please provide as much of the following information as possible:
- Your full name
- Your email or WhatsApp number
- Name of the memorial
- Transaction date
- Amount paid
- Transaction or payment reference
- Payment method
- Reason for requesting a refund
Contact Us
Send the transaction details to TributeHarbor.
Review
We review the transaction and payment status.
Provider Check
We may contact the payment provider where required.
Outcome
We inform you whether the refund or correction is approved.
13. Refund Processing Time
If a refund is approved, TributeHarbor will initiate or request the refund through the applicable payment provider.
The time required for the refunded amount to appear in your bank account, card or wallet depends on the payment provider, financial institution and payment method.
TributeHarbor cannot guarantee a specific banking settlement time once the refund has been submitted to the relevant provider.
14. Refund Method
Where reasonably possible, refunds will be returned through the original payment method.
TributeHarbor may require additional verification where the original payment method is unavailable or where fraud concerns exist.
15. Payment Processing Fees
Some payment providers may charge transaction, processing, currency-conversion or other fees.
Whether such fees can be refunded depends on the rules of the relevant payment provider and applicable law.
Where a fee is non-refundable, this should not prevent refund of other amounts where a refund is otherwise legally or contractually required.
16. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
A cardholder or account holder may have rights to dispute a transaction through their bank or payment provider.
If a chargeback or payment dispute occurs, TributeHarbor may:
- Provide transaction records to the payment provider
- Temporarily restrict the related transaction
- Remove or suspend a paid digital tribute
- Pause related payouts where permitted
- Investigate suspected fraud
Users should contact TributeHarbor first where possible so that genuine errors can be investigated quickly.
17. Fraud and Unauthorized Payments
TributeHarbor may suspend or investigate a transaction where there are reasonable concerns involving:
- Stolen payment credentials
- False memorials
- Unauthorized fundraising
- Fraudulent beneficiaries
- Account takeover
- Unusual transaction activity
TributeHarbor may cooperate with payment providers, financial institutions, funeral service providers or relevant authorities where reasonably required.
18. Physical Flowers and Third-Party Purchases
TributeHarbor may eventually link to or facilitate services offered by third-party businesses such as florists or funeral providers.
Where a purchase is clearly identified as being supplied by an independent third party, that provider's cancellation, delivery and refund rules may also apply.
Digital tribute purchases should not be assumed to include physical flower delivery unless expressly stated.
19. Funeral Home Charges
This Policy applies to payments processed through TributeHarbor.
It does not automatically govern independent funeral service charges, funeral packages, cremation costs, burial costs or other services contracted directly between a family and a funeral service provider.
20. User Responsibility
Before confirming payment, users should check:
- The memorial name
- The selected tribute
- The payment amount
- The intended family recipient where applicable
- The currency
- Any displayed fees
Users must only use payment methods they are authorized to use.
21. Consumer Rights
Nothing in this Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or remove any consumer right, refund right, remedy or other protection that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.
Where this Policy conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, the applicable legal requirement will prevail.
22. Changes to This Policy
TributeHarbor may update this Payment & Refund Policy as:
- Payment functionality is activated
- New payment methods are introduced
- Platform fees change
- New countries or currencies are supported
- Payment-provider requirements change
- Applicable legal or regulatory requirements change
The latest version will be published on this page.
23. Governing Law
This Policy is intended to operate subject to applicable Malaysian law.
Nothing in this Policy overrides mandatory rights or obligations imposed by applicable law or regulation.
