Pricing
How is pricing structured?
NexCore uses a flexible "build your own" model — no rigid plans. You start with Lifetime Access (0.950 OMR), which is always included, then optionally add Priority Review (0.300 OMR) and choose a support duration. You only pay for what you actually need. All prices are in Omani Rial (OMR).
What does Lifetime Access include?
Lifetime Access (0.950 OMR) has no scheduled renewal fee and continues for the operating life of the relevant NexCore service. It does not promise that NexCore or a third-party hosting provider will operate forever. See the Pricing & Billing Policy.
What support options are available?
Support covers Email & WhatsApp-based technical guidance for your NexCore project. Options: No Support (Free), 1 Week (0.250 OMR), 1 Month (0.500 OMR), 3 Months (1.000 OMR), 6 Months (1.500 OMR), or 1 Year (2.500 OMR).
What happens after the support period ends?
Your access is not tied to the optional support period. When support ends, you can purchase another fixed-duration support package or contact us for separately scoped work.
Can I get a refund?
You may request a refund within 7 calendar days only before fulfillment begins. A customer may not request a voluntary refund after the project is published, access is activated or used, setup or priority review starts, or the customer benefits from any paid feature. NexCore service failures remain eligible for a full refund or another agreed remedy.
What payment methods do you accept?
Paid service orders are temporarily paused. PayPal checkout for paid services, bank transfer, mobile transfer, and paid order submission are unavailable while NexCore completes its legal and regulatory review. Please do not send payment for a service using old details or links.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract or automatic renewal. Access is a one-time charge, and optional support is purchased for a fixed period.
