What is a Balqees Subscription?
Overview

A Balqees subscription is a recurring delivery plan that allows you to receive your favourite Balqees products automatically, at a fixed frequency, at a preferential price. By subscribing, you agree to a minimum commitment period to ensure you receive the full benefit of your plan.

Note: Subscription products are different from one-time purchases. Please read this policy carefully before subscribing. If you have any questions, contact us at support@balqees.com before placing your first order.

In plain terms: You must receive and pay for at least 3 deliveries (approximately 84 days / ~3 months) before you can cancel via the portal. This commitment is clearly disclosed at the time of sign-up.

Your right to cancel
Customer Right

We respect your consumer rights under UAE Federal Law and GCC standards. The following cancellation rights apply:

  • Cooling-off period: You have a 7-day cooling-off period from the date of your very first subscription order. If you cancel within this window and the order has not yet been dispatched, you are entitled to a full refund with no penalty.
  • Self-service portal cancellation: After completing 3 successful subscription cycles, you may cancel at any time through your account portal, with no additional charges.
  • Manual cancellation (early): If you wish to cancel before completing 3 cycles, you may contact our customer care team directly. Early cancellation requests are handled on a case-by-case basis and are subject to review.
  • Exceptional circumstances: Cancellations due to medical conditions, relocation outside the GCC, or verifiable personal hardship will be reviewed compassionately and resolved within 5 business days.
Your rights are protected. We will never refuse to process a cancellation request. You will always have a path to cancel — even if the portal is locked, our customer care team is available to assist.

Refund policy for subscriptions
Customer Right

The following refund terms apply specifically to subscription orders:

  • 7-day cooling-off (undispatched): Full refund to original payment method within 5–7 business days.
  • Damaged or incorrect items: Full replacement or refund, regardless of which cycle the order is in. Please report within 48 hours of delivery with photo evidence.
  • Order already dispatched (within cooling-off): Refund processed after item is returned to us in original, unopened condition. Return shipping is covered by Balqees.
  • Cancellation after cycle 3+ (already dispatched): No refund is issued for orders that have been dispatched. Cancellation applies to future deliveries only.
Subscription vs. standard refund policy: The subscription refund policy differs from our standard return policy for one-time purchases. Please ensure you are familiar with these terms before subscribing.

Delivery & frequency
Logistics

Subscription deliveries are scheduled every 28 days from the date of your first successful order. You will receive a reminder notification 3 days before each billing date so you are never charged unexpectedly.

Delivery reminder schedule:
• 3 days before billing: Email & SMS reminder
• Day of billing: Order confirmation
• Dispatch notification with tracking link
• Delivery confirmation

If a delivery attempt fails due to an incorrect address or unavailability, we will make one additional attempt. Failure after two attempts will result in the order being returned. A replacement will be dispatched at no additional cost if the error was on our part.

7
Discounts & promotional codes
Pricing

Subscription products are offered at a pre-negotiated preferential price. As a result, the following discount rules apply:

  • Standard discount codes are not applicable to subscription products by default. This is because subscriptions are already priced below our standard retail rate.
  • Subscription-specific promotions may be offered from time to time and will be communicated via email. These will be applied automatically to eligible orders.
  • Total order discounts configured specifically to apply to subscription orders will work as intended, if activated by Balqees.
If you believe a promotion should apply to your subscription, please contact our team. We will review and apply eligible discounts manually where appropriate.
8
Fair use & re-subscription
Protection

To protect the integrity of the subscription programme and ensure fairness for all customers, the following fair use policy is in effect:

  • Immediate re-subscription after early cancellation: Customers who cancel before completing the 3-cycle minimum period will be subject to a cooling-off restriction before they can re-subscribe to the same product.
  • Standard re-subscription: Customers who complete the minimum 3-cycle commitment before cancelling may re-subscribe at any time without restriction.
  • Abuse prevention: Repeated early cancellations may result in subscription privileges being suspended. We reserve the right to review accounts and restrict access where systematic abuse of the programme is identified.
Important: This fair use policy is not intended to penalise genuine customers. It is in place to prevent exploitation of the subscription pricing model. Customers with genuine concerns will always be treated with understanding.
