IntechOpen will act in accordance with its published Refund Policy if requests for refunds are made.
Refund Policy
Refunds are possible in the following cases:
1. A double payment, in which case a full refund will be made.
2. A justified withdrawal of work by the Author, which had already been accepted during or after production but prior to publication. In this situation, a 50% refund will be made. (IntechOpen reserves the right to determine, at its discretion, whether withdrawal is justified and, consequently, whether a refund should be issued).
3. In those rare instances where IntechOpen declines to publish a book that had been previously accepted, full refunds will be made to the same account or credit card from which the Author made the original payment.
Refunds are not possible in the cases of:
1. Scientific misconduct, plagiarism, copyright infringement, duplicate submission/republishing, systematic manipulation of the publication process, and errors or problems with the data, all of which are confirmed after acceptance and during the production process;
2. Retraction or removal following the publication of the work.
Please note that refunded amounts will not always be exactly the same as original payment amounts due to bank transaction fees and expenses. Any such costs will be split evenly between IntechOpen and the Author.
