Refund Policy:
- A full refund is available within 7 days of purchase, provided the course has not yet started.
- Once the course has started (Day 1), no refund is available, as the digital service has commenced with your express consent. By purchasing and starting the course before any statutory withdrawal period expires, you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge loss of any right of withdrawal that would otherwise apply (including under EU Consumer Rights Directive, Art. 16(m)).
- If we are unable to deliver the course due to a problem on our side, we will issue a full or pro-rata refund.
Payment Disputes:
We ask that you contact us directly to resolve any issues before initiating chargebacks or other payment disputes.
All refund decisions are made in good faith based on documented service issues and do not affect your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection laws. To request a refund, please contact [email protected].
19. Miscellaneous
These Terms of Use, along with any policies posted on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pixel Rainbow Inc. Our failure to enforce any provision does not waive our rights. We may assign these Terms at our discretion.
