Refund and Returns Policy

Refund and Returns Policy — Decroly Education Centre

This Refund and Returns Policy applies to purchases made athttps://deceduc.com. Decroly Education Centre’s main business is selling online courses and online education services. Please read this policy carefully before purchasing.

1. Summary (Key Points)

  • No physical returns: All products are digital (online courses, course materials, access to learning platforms). There are no physical goods to return.
  • Refunds available in certain cases: We offer refunds in specific circumstances (listed below).
  • Time limits: Refund requests must be made within the timeframe described for each product or situation.
  • How to request: Refund requests must be submitted through our support channel with required information.

2. Definitions

  • Course: Any online program, class, workshop, or bundled learning content sold on our website.
  • Access: Login credentials, portal permissions, or any digital access granted after purchase.
  • Free trial: Any trial period where a customer can access course material without charge.

3. Eligibility for Refunds

Refund eligibility depends on the type of product and the reason for the request:

3.1 General Courses (single courses)

  • Within 7 days: If you request a refund within 7 calendar days of purchase and you have not completed more than 20% of the course content, we will issue a full refund.
  • After 7 days: Refunds after 7 days are considered case-by-case. Partial refunds may be offered only for exceptional situations (technical failure preventing access not resolved by support, duplicate purchase, or other verified errors).

3.2 Bundles and Subscriptions

  • Bundles: Refunds for bundles follow the same 7-day / 20% rule as single courses, calculated across the bundle items. If you consumed more than 20% of total bundled content for the specific item(s) requested for refund, a refund may be prorated or denied.
  • Subscriptions (recurring billing): You may cancel a subscription at any time. Refunds for recurring charges depend on when you cancel:
    • Within 7 days of first payment: Full refund if less than 20% of accessed content used.
    • After first billing cycle: No automatic refund for the expired billing period. We may offer a prorated refund in exceptional cases at our discretion.
    • Cancellation stops future billing but does not always entitle you to a refund for time already billed unless exceptional.

3.3 Free Trials

  • No charges are made during a free trial. If you are charged in error during a trial, contact support immediately and we will evaluate your claim and may refund the charge.

3.4 Technical Issues

  • If you cannot access course content due to technical problems on our side, contact support right away. If we cannot resolve the issue within a reasonable time (usually 7 days after your support request), we will offer a refund or credit.

3.5 Fraud, Duplicate or Unauthorized Charges

  • If you notice unauthorized or duplicate charges, contact us immediately. Verified unauthorized or duplicate transactions will be refunded.

4. Non-Refundable Items

  • Completed courses: No refund if you have completed more than 20% of the course content.
  • Change of mind: Refunds are generally not provided solely for a change of mind after the 7-day/20% window.
  • Discounted or promotional offers: Some promotional or clearance sales may be marked as final sale; refunds may not be available. This will be clearly stated at the time of purchase.
  • Third-party services or materials: Purchases made via third-party platforms or vendors follow their refund policies, not ours.
