Donations made to 3(HREE) Trust are voluntary, irrevocable and made with the clear understanding that they are unconditional contributions toward the charitable objectives of the Trust. Upon successful completion of a donation transaction, whether domestic or international, the donor acknowledges that the contribution is final and that no automatic right of cancellation or refund exists. The Trust does not operate as a commercial entity and donations do not constitute consideration for goods, services, benefits, returns or guarantees of specific outcomes.

Refunds shall not be granted merely on change of mind, financial reconsideration, dissatisfaction with program implementation, or delay in project execution. The Trust maintains strict financial governance standards, and funds once received may be allocated, earmarked, accounted for, or reported in statutory filings, including under the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010. Once funds are recorded in statutory accounts or deployed toward charitable objects, they shall not ordinarily be reversed.

Notwithstanding the above, the Trust may, at its sole and absolute discretion, consider a written refund request only in exceptional circumstances strictly limited to demonstrable duplicate transactions, verifiable technical payment gateway errors, unauthorised card usage substantiated by banking confirmation, or mandatory regulatory directions issued by a competent authority. The burden of proof lies entirely on the donor. All refund requests must be submitted in writing to 3hree.trust@gmail.com within seven days of the transaction date, along with complete transaction details, identity verification and supporting documentary evidence. Requests submitted beyond this period shall ordinarily be rejected without further correspondence.

In the case of foreign contributions, refunds shall be subject to strict compliance with the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010 and applicable banking regulations. Where a foreign contribution has been received in the designated FCRA account and recorded as required under law, any refund shall be processed only if legally permissible and may require prior regulatory intimation or approval. The Trust reserves the right to refuse refund of foreign contributions where such refund may create regulatory non-compliance, reporting complications, audit inconsistencies or statutory exposure.

Refunds, if approved, shall be processed only through the original mode of payment. The Trust shall not be responsible for intermediary banking charges, currency exchange fluctuations, foreign remittance deductions, payment gateway processing fees or delays attributable to financial institutions. The refunded amount, if any, shall be limited strictly to the net amount actually received by the Trust after deduction of transactional charges. The Trust shall not be liable for any exchange rate losses or cross-border remittance discrepancies.

The Trust reserves the right to refuse any donation or cancel any transaction where regulatory screening, sanctions compliance, anti-money laundering checks, reputational risk assessment or statutory obligations so require. In such cases, the Trust may return the amount received after deducting unavoidable banking or administrative charges, without admitting any liability.

All decisions of the Trust regarding refunds or cancellations shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to challenge except as required under applicable law. Nothing in this Policy creates a contractual entitlement to refund.
