Refund Policy
Last Updated: June 1, 2025
1. Overview
At Starblack Media Academy ("we," "our," or "us"), we strive to provide high-quality educational content and services. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which Starblack Media Academy may issue a refund for course subscriptions or other services.
Please read this policy carefully before making a purchase. By purchasing our courses or services, you agree to this Refund Policy and our Terms of Service.
2. Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Generally, you may be eligible for a refund under the following conditions:
- Technical Issues: If you experience persistent technical issues that prevent you from accessing or completing a significant portion of the course, and our support team is unable to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 7 business days).
- Course Not as Described (Significant Discrepancy): If the course content is fundamentally different from what was described on the course sales page at the time of your purchase. Minor differences or updates to course content do not typically qualify.
- Duplicate Purchase: If you accidentally purchased the same course or subscription plan multiple times.
Refund requests must typically be made within a specific period from the date of purchase (e.g., 7 days, 14 days). Please specify this period.
3. Non-Refundable Items/Situations
The following situations or items are generally not eligible for a refund:
- Change of Mind: We generally do not offer refunds if you simply change your mind after purchasing a course or if you find the course difficult.
- Course Completion: If you have completed a significant portion of the course (e.g., more than 25% of the lessons or modules) or downloaded a substantial amount of course materials.
- Expired Subscription Periods: Refunds are not typically provided for subscription periods that have already passed.
- Promotional or Discounted Purchases: Items purchased at a discount or during promotional periods may have different refund conditions or may be non-refundable, as stated at the time of purchase.
- Services Already Rendered: For services like one-on-one coaching or project reviews, if the service has already been provided.
- Violation of Terms of Service: If your account is suspended or terminated due to a violation of our Terms of Service.
