3. REFUNDS

1. Refund Policy for Digital and Information Products – Due to the digital nature of online courses and products, and the fact that digital content cannot be returned, our digital courses are non-refundable. We feel confident that we’ve laid out everything you get in our courses in the descriptions of the products. Please read the details and description of each course so you understand exactly what you are buying. Additionally, digital information products and courses are designed to be performed to completion; failure to complete a course will reduce or eliminate its effect upon the customer. We consider registering for our digital products similar to the idea of purchasing a concert ticket (but with a heavy dose of learning). If you purchase a concert ticket, but don’t show up for the show (in this case, digital content), the venue or artist doesn’t give you a ticket refund. Same rules apply here. We’re completely invested in making sure you have the best experience possible, so please email us with any questions about what’s included and what is not included and we will always give you an honest answer so you can make the best decision for you. We’re happy to answer any questions about what is taught, and what is not taught, in our courses.
