3. Purchases, Payments, and Refund Policy
Digital Products
All digital products (workbooks, guides, PDFs) are delivered electronically and are available for download immediately upon purchase. Because digital products are delivered instantly and cannot be "returned," all sales of digital products are final and non-refundable unless the file is defective or inaccessible due to a technical error on our part. If you experience a technical issue, contact us within 7 days of purchase at [email protected].
Physical Products
Physical products (journals, card decks) may be returned within 14 days of delivery if they arrive damaged or defective. Contact us at [email protected] with your order number and photos of the damage. We will arrange a replacement or refund at our discretion. Return shipping costs for non-defective items are the buyer's responsibility.
Memberships and Subscriptions
VIP memberships are billed monthly or annually as selected at checkout. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and no partial refunds are issued for unused time. Coaching session payments are non-refundable once the session has been scheduled, except in the case of cancellation by us.
Payment Processing
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We never store your full card number, CVV, or card expiration date on our servers. All checkout flows use HTTPS encryption end-to-end. By making a purchase, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.
