Refund policy
Last updated: 7 October 2026
Schools and parents pay for Smart School through Selcom or AzamPay. This policy explains when we refund a payment and how long it takes.
When we refund
- You were charged twice for the same payment.
- You were charged but the payment did not activate the plan or feature you paid for, and we cannot fix it within 3 working days.
- A school cancels a new plan within 14 days of first paying for it and has not yet run an exam on it.
When we do not refund
- Part of a plan period that has already been used, such as the rest of a term after exams have been run.
- Accounts suspended for breaking our terms and conditions.
- Charges made by your mobile network or bank, which we do not receive.
How to ask for a refund
School payments should be raised by the school admin. Parents can ask for a refund on their own payments. Include the payment reference, date and amount, and the phone number or card used.
How long it takes
We reply to every refund request within 5 working days. Approved refunds go back to the same mobile money account or card used to pay, through the same provider. The provider may take a few more days to show it on your statement.
