Return Policy

Last Updated:

Overview

At Cartilagezyjoint, we want you to be completely satisfied with your Spanish language course enrollment. This Return Policy explains the terms and conditions for cancellations and refunds.

We understand that circumstances change, and we have designed our policy to be fair to both students and our business while maintaining the quality of our educational services.

This policy is designed to comply with the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) and your statutory consumer rights in Australia.

Return Period

Students may cancel their course enrollment within 7 days of initial registration for a full refund, provided no classes have been attended. This cooling-off period allows you to review course materials and ensure our Spanish program meets your needs.

This period begins from the date of enrollment confirmation and payment receipt. To request a cancellation during this period, send a written notice to clients@cartilagezyjoint.world with your enrollment details and cancellation request. We will process your refund within 10 business days.

Return Conditions

To be eligible for a refund, the following conditions must be met:

  • Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email to clients@cartilagezyjoint.world
  • For the 7-day cooling-off period: No classes may have been attended
  • For partial refunds after classes begin: The request must be made within a reasonable time and before completing more than half of the enrolled course sessions
  • All course materials that can be returned must be in their original condition, if applicable
  • You must provide your enrollment details, including your name, email address, and course enrollment number

Refunds are processed to the original payment method used for enrollment. If the original payment method is no longer available, alternative arrangements may be made upon verification of your identity.

Return Shipping Costs

As our Spanish language courses are delivered entirely online through our digital platform, there are no physical products to return and therefore no return shipping costs apply.

All course materials, including videos, documents, and resources, are provided digitally through our online learning platform. No physical shipment or return is required for cancellation or refund requests.

Refund Eligibility After Classes Begin

Once you have attended your first class, partial refunds are calculated based on the number of sessions completed and the time remaining in your enrollment period.

If you cancel after attending one or two classes, you are eligible for a refund of the remaining balance minus a processing fee equivalent to one month of your package rate.

Cancellations after attending more than half of your enrolled classes are not eligible for refunds. However, you retain access to completed course materials and recordings.

Return Process

To initiate a return or cancellation, follow these steps:

  1. Send a written cancellation request via email to clients@cartilagezyjoint.world
  2. Include your full name, email address, phone number, and course enrollment details
  3. Specify the reason for cancellation and your preferred refund method
  4. Our team will acknowledge receipt of your request within 2 business days
  5. We will review your request and respond within 5 business days with confirmation of eligibility and the refund amount
  6. If approved, your refund will be processed within 10 business days to your original payment method

You will receive email confirmations at each stage of the process to keep you informed of the status of your refund request.

Refund Procedure

Once your refund request is approved, the following procedure applies:

  • Refunds are processed to the original payment method used for enrollment
  • Processing time: Approved refunds are processed within 10 business days of approval
  • Credit card refunds: The refund will appear on your statement within one to two billing cycles depending on your card issuer
  • Bank transfer refunds: Processed directly to your nominated account, typically within 5-7 business days
  • You will receive an email confirmation once your refund has been processed

If you do not receive your refund within the expected timeframe, please contact us at clients@cartilagezyjoint.world with your refund reference number for assistance.

Non-Returnable Items

Certain components of your course enrollment are non-refundable under any circumstances, except where required by the Australian Consumer Law:

  • Registration and administrative fees are non-refundable as they cover the cost of setting up your account and providing initial access to our learning platform
  • Digital course materials and resources that you have downloaded or accessed are non-refundable. These materials retain their value even after cancellation
  • Completed class sessions cannot be refunded, as instructor time and platform resources have been allocated to your participation
  • Any personalized services or custom content created specifically for your enrollment

However, nothing in this policy limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, including your right to a refund or replacement for services that fail to meet consumer guarantees.

Course Cancellation by Cartilagezyjoint

In the rare event that we need to cancel a course due to insufficient enrollment or instructor unavailability, you will receive a full refund of all fees paid.

Alternatively, we may offer to transfer your enrollment to a different class schedule or provide credit toward future courses. The choice between refund and transfer is entirely yours.

We will notify you as soon as possible if course cancellation becomes necessary, typically at least one week before the scheduled start date.

General Legal Requirements

This Return Policy is designed to comply with Australian consumer protection laws, including:

  • The Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth))
  • State and territory consumer protection legislation
  • Fair trading laws applicable in Australia

Under the Australian Consumer Law, you have certain statutory rights that cannot be excluded, including:

  • The right to services that are provided with due care and skill
  • The right to services that are fit for their intended purpose
  • The right to services that match their description
  • The right to a refund or replacement if services fail to meet consumer guarantees

Nothing in this Return Policy limits or excludes these statutory rights. If our services fail to meet a consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to remedies including repair, replacement, or refund, even if they are not covered by our standard policy.

Order Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your course enrollment order before classes begin without penalty:

  • Orders can be cancelled within 7 days of enrollment for a full refund, provided no classes have been attended
  • Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to clients@cartilagezyjoint.world
  • Once classes have commenced, cancellation is subject to the refund eligibility terms described in this policy

Subscription Cancellations

Monthly subscription packages can be cancelled at any time by notifying us before your next billing date. You will retain access to courses through the end of your current paid period.

  • Cancellation requests must be received at least 3 business days before your renewal date to prevent the next month from being charged
  • Charges that have already been processed are subject to the standard refund policy
  • If you cancel a monthly subscription, you will not be charged for subsequent months, but the current month is non-refundable once classes have begun
  • You can cancel your subscription by emailing clients@cartilagezyjoint.world with your account details and cancellation request

Exceptional Circumstances

We recognize that unexpected situations may prevent you from completing your course. In cases of serious illness, family emergency, or other significant hardship, please contact us to discuss options.

While we cannot guarantee refunds outside our standard policy, we may be able to arrange a temporary suspension of your enrollment, transfer to a later cohort, or other accommodations on a case-by-case basis.

Documentation may be requested to verify exceptional circumstances claims. All decisions regarding exceptions to our standard policy are made at the discretion of Cartilagezyjoint management.

No-Show Policy

Students who enroll in courses but fail to attend any scheduled classes without notification are not eligible for refunds. Your enrollment is considered active until you formally cancel.

If you are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact us as soon as possible. We will work with you to reschedule or find an appropriate solution.

Processing Time

Approved refunds are processed within 10 business days of approval. The time for funds to appear in your account depends on your payment method and financial institution.

You will receive an email confirmation once your refund has been processed. If you do not receive your refund within the expected timeframe, please contact us at clients@cartilagezyjoint.world.
