Refund Policy

1. Introduction

At Cynderovexa, we are committed to providing high-quality communication skills consulting services. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which refunds may be requested and processed for our services.

This Refund Policy is part of and subject to our Terms and Conditions. By purchasing our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Refund Policy.

2. Refund Eligibility Overview

Refund eligibility depends on several factors including:

• The type of service purchased (single session, package, workshop)
• The timing of the cancellation request
• Whether services have been partially or fully delivered
• The specific circumstances of the refund request
• Compliance with cancellation notice requirements

3. Service-Specific Refund Policies

3.1 Single Session Services

For individual consultation sessions (Interview Preparation, Public Speaking Coaching, Presentation Skills):

3.2 Multi-Session Packages

For multi-session packages (3-session programs, 10-session Complete Package):

Before First Session

• More than 48 hours before first session: 100% full refund
• Less than 48 hours before first session: 85% refund (15% administrative fee)

After First Session Completion

• If dissatisfied after first session: Full refund minus the cost of the completed session (based on single-session pricing)
• Example: For €1,600 Complete Package, refund would be €1,600 - €200 = €1,400

After Multiple Sessions Completed

• Pro-rated refund calculated as: Total Package Cost - (Number of Completed Sessions × Single Session Rate) - 10% Administrative Fee
• Unused sessions must not be scheduled or within 24-hour window of scheduled appointments
• Example: If 3 of 10 sessions completed from €1,600 package: €1,600 - (3 × €200) - €130 admin fee = €870 refund

3.3 Group Workshops and Special Events

• More than 7 days before event: 100% full refund
• 3-7 days before event: 50% refund
