If you purchase any Services through installment plans, you are solely responsible for paying all installments and may not cancel until all installments owed are paid.

4.13 We provide access to exclusive groups and communities, including Facebook groups/communities, as complimentary bonuses with certain product and Service purchases. These groups and communities are offered at the discretion of our Company and are not considered part of the purchased Service/product.

5.4 Based on the above, all refunds are subject to the discretion of our Company.
5.5 During the period from your purchase of The Influencer Mastercourse until the end of the refund window, running ads on your Instagram account disqualifies you from receiving a refund.

While we will do our best to provide guidance and support, we do not guarantee any specific outcomes or results. The success of the Service ultimately depends on your own effort, commitment, and abilities.
