Refund Policy

Posted on April 1, 2023

As a non-governmental organization, Fo Guang Buddhist Association, Johor relies on donations to fund our work on culture, education, charity and cultivations. Due to the nature of donations, refunds can only be given at the discretion of management.

We will consider all refund requests on a case by case basis, however, a refund for any reason outside those detailed below is unlikely to be granted.

A refund will usually be issued in instances where:

  1. An error has been made by Fo Guang Buddhist Association, Johor.
  2. A donor’s banking details have been fraudulently obtained and used.
  3. Fo Guang Buddhist Association, Johor has received a donor’s details in error.
  4. A donor has previously requested that regular debits be cancelled however, the debits have continued. The refund will be to the maximum of the last debit amount unless a donor can provide proof of the original cancellation request.

In all instances, Fo Guang Buddhist Association, Johor will not refund past the previous tax year.


01 Refund Request

If a refund request is agreed the donor will be refunded within thirty (30) working days of the decision, using the original method of payment. The timely refund of the donation will depend upon the type of credit card or banking instrument used during the transaction.

Donor requesting a refund must email us at s.malaysia@blia.org within fourty-eight (48) hours along with payment receipt, and donor’s details. A final refund amount will be calculated after deducting all online transaction costs.


02 Refund Cancellation

If a donor wishes to dispute the refund decision, a further request can be escalated by email. Please note that we may request additional information or documentation from you in consideration of any disputed item.
