Digital Product Types & Refund Terms

|---|---|
| PDFs/eBooks | File download initiated |
| Videos | Any portion streamed or downloaded |
| Workbooks | Downloaded or any page viewed online |
| Templates | File opened in editor or downloaded |
| Member areas | Login successful |
Why No Refund After Access
Digital products cannot be "returned" - once downloaded or viewed, you retain a copy. This is industry standard for digital goods and protects against abuse.
Digital Product Exceptions
We will refund or exchange if:
- Technical issues: Product won't open or play (we'll troubleshoot first)
- Wrong product: You received different content than purchased
- Duplicate purchase: Accidental double purchase
- Corrupted file: Download is damaged (we'll re-send first)
- Description mismatch: Product significantly differs from listing
Services (Third-Party Provided)
| Timeframe | Refund Available | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Before delivery | Full refund | Canceled 48+ hours in advance |
| After delivery | No refund | Service has been rendered |
Why: Services provided by third-party partners (such as coaching sessions, consultations) cannot be refunded once delivered because:
- We cannot recover costs from the service provider
- The provider's time has been spent and cannot be returned
- Resources were allocated specifically for your session
Bundled Products (Products + Services)
Many of our offerings combine products with third-party services. For these bundles:
How Refunds Work

| Physical products (shipped) | Yes | Must obtain RMA and return at your expense |
| Digital products (not accessed) | Yes | Digital product policy |
| Digital products (accessed) | No | Considered used |
| Services (not delivered) | Yes | If canceled 48+ hours ahead |
| Services (delivered) | No | Third-party service rendered |
