How hard is it to cancel ShipFast?

Model note: ShipFast (Marc Lou's Next.js boilerplate) is a ONE-TIME / lifetime purchase ($199–$299, 'Pay once. Build unlimited projects'), explicitly 'exempting users from recurring fees or subscriptions.' Because there is no recurring subscription, there is no cancellation trap — the lowest-friction model on the index — so the cancellation dimensions reflect 'nothing to escape' rather than a documented flow. The one genuine consumer term is the refund stance, which is clearly disclosed: 'the ShipFast boilerplate cannot be refunded or exchanged once access is granted' (access = a permanent GitHub repo invite). There is no dedicated refund page (terms in /tos) and governing law is Singapore. Graded for completeness at the operator's request; cancellation friction is largely not applicable to a one-time product.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
