DIGITAL DOWNLOADS
A “Digital Download” is any offer, content, or product that is made available to you by us through internet download access.
After a request for any offer, content or product has been submitted and approved, we will process your order. Orders for Digital Downloads are typically processed within one (1) hour, but in rare cases it could take longer than twenty four (24) hours to process. Once your order has been processed, we will send you a confirmation email using the email address you provided on our order form.
This email will serve as your electronic purchase receipt and will contain the information you need to access the requested Digital Download.
Downloads from our servers are closely monitored to ensure you are able to successfully access our products. While we are flexible and allow you to complete a reasonable number of downloads, we will not tolerate download abuse. We reserve the right to terminate your access to our download servers.
We stand behind our products and your satisfaction with them is important to us. However, due to the nature of Digital Downloads being available for instant access, we typically do not offer refunds for Digital Downloads. Refunds are available only for select Digital Downloads.
Refunds will not be issued on any Digital Download that is received through any free or special offers, or for any content or product that is bundled with or part of another Purchase (for example, a PDF Download that is included and/ or made available by us with a course Purchase). Refunds may be considered for any Digital Download that is a separate product Purchase (for example, a PDF Download that is available as an individual or standalone product for Purchase), and such refund requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion.
If you change your mind about your Purchase and you have not yet downloaded our product, service, or content, we will happily issue you a refund upon your request.
Refund requests made after you have already downloaded any product, service or content is handled on a case-by-case basis and any refund that may be issued is at our sole discretion.

Coaching/ Consulting Services
Select Courses and Events we offer provide coaching and/ or consulting services that are bundled with or part of a Purchase. Your satisfaction with our products is very important to us. However, when any Purchase provides such services, you are paying for reserved sessions of someone else’s time, attention, energy, and resources that are already invested into a bundled Purchase, and these services cannot be separated from other products. Whenever possible, we will try to find a fair balance to be able to issue any refunds or honor cancellation requests that may occur for any reason involving these types of products.
Each product has its own refund policy. To view details about a specific product’s refund policy, please visit that product’s information page.
We may issue a full or partial refund on coaching and/ or consulting services that are not bundled with or part of a Purchase, when such standalone services are made available, and only in select cases and at our sole discretion, where the following additional restrictions will apply.
>> No refunds will be issued for any single session that is cancelled within 72 hours of the scheduled session.
>> No refunds will be issued for any session(s) that you fail to attend.
>> If you are paying installments for such services, payments are due monthly. Failure to remit payment according to the agreed upon schedule will terminate the service package, and no refund for unused sessions will be provided.
>> You may discontinue these services at any time, and a refund will be issued for any sessions not yet redeemed. For example, if you were to purchase a service package that includes five sessions, and you chose to discontinue your agreement after the second session, then you would receive a refund for your remaining three sessions.
