Some Clients may require students to sign a non-disclosure agreement. This may be a requirement to participate in the program.

Refunds – 30-day policy (UX Accelerator only)

The 30-day countdown will begin from the day you receive access to Course 1. You have the right to request a refund in the first 30 days (conditions apply), however, after this time we will assume you are getting great value from the program. Conditions for the refund include:

  • the refund request must be in writing (via an email to [email protected]),
  • the student must have attended at least 1 live coaching call, and
  • the student must have completed the first 2 activities.

Any requests for a refund will be checked by our training manager and approved. It may take a few business days for the funds to appear back in your account.

If the conditions are met a refund will be issued and access to the portal will cease. The student requesting a refund will be refunded the amount they paid less a $200 AUD fee to cover associated bank and admin fees.

If the payment was made in USD - the refund amount will be based on the USD/ AUD spot rate when the purchase was made less the $200 AUD fee to cover associated bank and admin fees.
