SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER SUPPORT, AND TERMS OF RESPONSE

Our standard response time for emails is within 24 to 48 hours or 1 to 2 business days, with exceptions for holidays and weekends. We do not offer 24×7 customer support and cannot guarantee a reply if request are not sent to our support mailbox, which is sigrid@yourbestlifestartsnowseries.com. Standard policy for refunds and others terms of use applies. While we do our best to resolve issues, those situations that are caused through a customer’s actions, such as removal or unsubscribing from a list, not reading instructions, not adding our email address to their mailbox as instructed so emails are not received, or incomplete purchases, including ignoring download time limits, can sometimes not be resolved to the customer’s satisfaction. These will be addressed on a case by case basis and we do not take responsibility for issues caused by customer actions that are beyond our control. We will make every attempt to ensure that the customer receives their purchase but cannot and will not assume responsibility for situations resulting from customer actions that directly interfere with how a purchase is completed or directly subvert the purchase process.

In the event a product is defective, which is determined to be as described below for different product types that are sold on the Sigrid van Heerwaarden websites(s): CDs and digital products in hard copy format (not MP3 or downloads) a return is considered if product does not play, is blank, or is damaged in shipment and rendered unplayable.

How refunds are administered

Refunds are provided in accordance with our stated refund terms and are processed within 3 to 5 business days of your request. The following policies govern refunds by product or service type: Consultations: Refunds for services such as individual consultations and readings are not provided under any circumstances. There are no exceptions to this policy. Coaching packages: Refunds for 3, 4 or 6 session coaching packages are pro-rated as follows:

• If you wish to discontinue your 3, 4 or 6 session coaching program and have completed one session, the then-current cost of a 1 hour consultation will be deducted from your refund.
• If you have completed two sessions, the then-current cost of two 1-hour consultations will be deducted from your refund. For 3 session coaching packages, there will be no refund of unused sessions after the first session is completed.
• If you have completed three or more sessions of a 4 or 6 session coaching package, no refund will be provided.

Programs:

Programs may include audio, video and pdf files, as well as individual and group coaching options. Once a program page has been accessed by the user, he/she is considered as having participated in the program. Any refund, if considered, will be prorated to reflect file access and downloads, as well as coaching services already delivered, as detailed in the “Coaching Packages” section above. The full cost of the audio/pdf portion of the program will be deducted from any refund, plus an administrative fee of not less than 50 euro, at our discretion and depending on the amount of time and effort expended in processing client emails and the refund. We do not offer full refunds at the full price of any purchased programs.

Downloads are monitored by user IP address on our servers and proof of download will be provided to customer if requested. Once files are downloaded they are considered to be purchased and all refund policies for digital files apply.

Digital and media file purchases will not be refunded as they are available as instant downloads and delivered after purchase. This also applies to programs that include downloadable media files, such as audios, videos, and .pdf documents, which are available to the purchaser for their use. Once a program is accessed and the files available, a purchase has been completed and the customer has access to the files. Purchase is considered to be complete and refunds are not provided on materials that the customer has received. There are no exceptions to our refund policy as it applies to digital media.

Teleseminars:

Refunds for teleseminars are not provided under any circumstances. Calls are recorded and those are available to all purchasers. If you do not download the recording prior to its expiration, which is clearly stated in the Tele class and its accompanying materials, you may request that the file be sent to you electronically or in hard copy at an additional charge. You should send all such requests to sigrid@yourbestlifestartsnowseries.com

CHARGEBACKS

The charge that will appear on your credit card statement will be made to Sigrid van Heerwaarden. If you place a chargeback with your credit card company (on purpose or by mistake) for any order including recurring orders that you placed and received, there will be a 75 euro research fee charged to your account upon receiving the chargeback by our merchant provider to cover our investigative expenses to prove that you did make the purchase.

If you do not remember making the purchase – call the number on your statement next to the charge BEFORE calling your bank or submit a support request at sigrid@yourbestlifestartsnowseries.com. You may call us at the number posted on our website if you have questions about your purchase.

Sigrid van Heerwaarden does not tolerate credit card fraud, and all fraud, without exception, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In addition, we will pursue civil legal action seeking any loss of income related to the fraud, including business revenues, legal fees, research costs, employee down time and loss of revenues.

Sigrid van Heerwaarden considers credit card chargebacks to be fraud if you have made no reasonable effort to work with us to resolve any problems with your purchase. All chargebacks require extensive administrative time to process and take them away from our usual and customary matters of conducting normal business, as they are time intensive, therefore:

You agree that if you, the buyer, choose to do business with Sigrid van Heerwaarden and you file a chargeback with your credit card company, and you do not win the charge back argument, you agree to pay us 75 euro for our time spent responding to the credit card company to resolve this matter. We are obligated to respond to and resolve every chargeback.

You, the buyer authorize us to charge the amount of your purchase to your credit card. If this charge is rejected, Sigrid van Heerwaarden will pursue legal action to recoup losses for our time associated with responding to the charge back in addition to any other fees explained above. You agree to reimburse us or any representative we may appoint for any legal expenses your actions may make us incur. We take fraud seriously. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The waiver of a breach hereunder does not waive any other or subsequent breach.

In the event that you win the charge back with your credit card company, and have not submitted a ticket to our support site prior to issuing Sigrid van Heerwaarden will attempt to recover a research fee plus additional costs via a third-party collection agency and your account will be reported to all credit bureaus as a delinquent collection account. This may severely damage your credit rating for at least the next seven (7) years.

Customers who initiate chargebacks are removed from our customer lists and blocked from further purchases from our websites. Any person who violates the terms and conditions of our business policies, as stated and defined here, are also removed from all customer and mailing lists and blocked from making further purchases on our websites.

Note: The customer must attempt to contact us via email or any existing ticket system before attempting a chargeback.

THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY!
