Refund Policy
Version 1.0.0 · Effective April 22, 2026 · Last revised April 22, 2026
We want you to be confident about your purchase. This Refund Policy explains when you can get a refund, how to request one, and what happens afterward. It forms part of our Terms of Service.
1. When a Refund Is Available
| Scenario | Refund |
|---|---|
| Within 48 hours of purchase AND assessment not yet started | Full refund |
| Assessment started but not completed | No refund |
| Assessment completed (pass or fail) | No refund |
| Duplicate charge or technical billing error | Full refund of the duplicate |
| Service not delivered due to platform failure on our side | Full refund or replacement at your choice |
| Credential revoked for violations of our Terms | No refund |
2. Why Assessments Are Non-Refundable Once Started
When you start an assessment, you receive:
- Access to proprietary assessment content
- Real-time scoring and analysis infrastructure
- Eligibility to earn a permanent blockchain credential
- Access to gap analysis and performance feedback (Pro tier)
These services have a substantial cost to deliver and cannot be "returned." This is why we require 48-hour cooling-off BEFORE you start the assessment, and why fees become non-refundable after.
3. How to Request a Refund
Email support@atacglobalcx.com with:
- Your registered email address
- Date and approximate time of purchase
- Reason for the refund request
We respond to refund requests within 2 business days. Approved refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5-10 business days (depending on your card issuer).
4. Team and Employer Seats
Team seat purchases (minimum 10 seats) follow different rules:
- Unused seats within 30 days: refundable at the per-seat rate
- Seats where the candidate has started an assessment: non-refundable
- Seats assigned but unused by candidate: refundable within 30 days
Employer refunds are processed as credit notes against your account first, then as refunds to the original payment method if the account is closing.
5. Chargebacks and Disputes
If you believe a charge is in error, please contact us first at support@atacglobalcx.com. We can usually resolve issues faster than the chargeback process.
If you initiate a chargeback, we will provide your payment processor with evidence of the service provided, including your consent records (timestamps, IP address, user-agent, accepted document versions) and the service delivery log. This is standard practice and is why we maintain a detailed consent audit trail.
6. Exceptions Required by Law
Where applicable consumer protection laws grant refund rights beyond this Policy (for example, certain "distance selling" or "cooling-off" rights in some EU countries), those rights apply and override conflicting terms in this Policy.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy. Changes apply to future purchases. Purchases made under a prior version of this Policy will be refunded under the terms that were in effect at the time of purchase.
Response time: 2 business days
Processing time: 5-10 business days to your original payment method
