In the case of offline payment, we will contact you to arrange payment. This process must be completed before your order can be fulfilled.

Full access to any product purchased using a payment plan (where offered) ‘may’ be restricted if payment fails. Failure to make all payment ‘may’ result in exclusion from any paid product forums or groups.

If the credit card bounces for any reason, attempts to charge will be made in the following days/weeks. If the card continues to bounce or rejects the payment, or if a charge-back is claimed by the client or their bank, the matter will be handled internally with written notice or transferred to a debt collection agency and reported if there continues to be a failure to pay.

Rescheduling or cancellations of private appointments should be done at least 24 hours before the planned date.
