Our 14-day money-back guarantee. If you are not happy with the course, email us within 14 days of your purchase and we will refund you in full. You do not need to give a reason. Your statutory cancellation rights. Under the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 484 of 2013) you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. Because this course is digital content supplied immediately, that statutory right ends once you expressly consent to immediate access and acknowledge that you will lose the withdrawal right — you are asked to confirm both at checkout before the course opens. The guarantee above is offered voluntarily in addition to those rights and does not restrict them.
