Refund Policy – All Archiroots Courses.

 

At Archiroots, we are so confident that you will get results that we give you an entire month (30 days) to complete the course, do the work and put what you’re taught to the test.

 

We want you to give your best effort to apply all the strategies taught in the course and give yourself the best chance at success, which is why if we don’t hold you accountable for putting in the work, we’re doing you a disservice.

 

This course has been stress-tested to make sure that as long as you follow the modules and complete the action items for each lesson, you will get results.

 

Which is why when you enroll in any of our courses as a student, you get a “30-Day Guarantee.” The guarantee states that if you enroll in one of our courses, watch all the video lessons, complete all of the required work and action items, and still don’t see results within the month, we will provide a full refund.

Archiroots Courses Payment Cancellation Policy

A Purchaser who enrolls may not cancel the contract under any circumstances outside the “30-Day Guarantee” period. Upon enrollment, the Purchaser will be responsible for the balance of sale owing and must pay all further installments as agreed and on time. Should Purchaser fail to make any payment as and when due, we reserve all our rights against Purchaser for failure to make installment payments on time, including, but not limited to, mandating a collection agency or attorney to obtain payment from Purchaser, which may adversely affect the Purchaser’s credit rating.

Upon determining that you are entitled to a refund pursuant to this policy, the Company will promptly issue an instruction to its payment processor to issue the refund. The Company does not control its payment processor and will not be able to expedite any refunds.

Please note – this is a serious course, it’s not magic. If you’re not ready to put in the work and take real action, you won’t see the results. We put an extraordinary amount of time, money and effort into all of our Programs, and we expect you to do the same. Our courses are for serious students only.
