Content Hacker™ Guarantee
14-DAY REFUND POLICY ON UPFRONT PAYMENT FOR COURSES, WITH PROOF YOU TRIED
There are no refunds on the digital guides or memberships created and sold in Content Hacker™ Academy.
There are no refunds on payment plan installments. There are no refunds on the Transformation System.
For the one-time, full upfront payment on our online courses OR a cancelation of payment plan fees (again, note that we DO NOT refund past payment plan fees), we offer a 14-day refund guarantee with proof of exercise completion and proof you completed and went through the full course.
We have our refund policy set up this way to encourage learning, and discourage student laziness. You can’t waltz in here, swipe the training, and ask for your money back — that’s called fraud. You also cannot look at one lesson and think “this isn’t for me.” You must put in a real effort and truly find the training is not a fit for you, and your refund request will only be considered if you requested it within 14 days of enrolling.
It’s up to YOU to put in the work. We’ve done everything possible to make this the simplest and best course on the subject, and we know it works because it’s the exact same methodology that the instructor has practiced in her own agency, internally, to sell millions of dollars worth of content.
However, if you’re on the fence, we want to give you every chance to buy with 100% confidence. So, you have 14 days to trial it. You must go through the implementation program, follow every simple step-by-step exercise plan, and realize how amazing it feels to implement your very own content strategy, write your own SEO content, and see your work reach a real online audience and grow your business. To request a refund within your first 14 days, you must provide proof of exercise completion for each of the exercises along with a thorough reason why you’re requesting a refund, and our administrators will check for proof of going through the whole course by reviewing heat maps within the course.
Again: Please note Monthly Membership fees are non-refundable and are charged automatically on each renewal date (i.e. monthly), for twelve consecutive months. You may not ask for a refund if you have accessed any of the course content. If you sign up for a monthly payment plan, you are obligated to complete that plan. If you do not, and you default on a payment and do not correct the issue with a current card, your school profile will immediately be deactivated and you will be removed from the private student community.
