Refund Policy
We want you to be satisfied with the Staging Diva products or services you order. If you don’t feel that our materials are as described on the order pages, we’ll give you a refund.
For downloadable courses, ebooks, special reports or checklists, refunds must be requested in writing within 48 hours of receiving materials. After that time no refunds will be issued. All refund requests must be submitted in writing, and at that time, any and all access to the digital materials will be terminated.
For physical products (like the home study kit), refunds must be requested in writing within 30 days of ordering. At that time you will be given instructions for returning your materials to us at your cost. Once these are received by us in satisfactory condition, you will get a refund for your purchase. We do not reimburse any shipping costs. After the 30 days no refunds will be issued. All refund requests must be submitted in writing.
For one-on-one coaching like Staging Diva Business Accelerator Coaching or the Website Check-Up Service, refunds must be submitted in writing or verbally during a coaching call within the first 30 minutes of coaching or 30 days from purchase (whichever comes first). Coaching time must be used within the first 6 months of purchase, no refunds are issued after that time.
For group coaching like Staging Diva Dialog, refunds must be requested within 48 hours of purchase. Failure to attend is not a reason for a refund since recordings are sent out for the event you missed.
For listings in the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers, you can cancel your listing at any time before your next billing cycle. So with billing every 3 months you are only committing to a 3-month period (which renews automatically until you cancel). When you select the annual billing plan, you are pre-paying for a full year, which includes 3 months FREE (or a savings of 25%). You cannot get a partial refund before the year is over, but you can cancel before billing for any subsequent year (you will be sent a reminder before each year’s billing goes through). Ordering a listing in the Staging Diva Directory and never submitting your material for your listing is not grounds for a refund beyond what’s stated in this paragraph. If you cancel your Staging Diva Directory Membership, you lose your membership in the Staging Diva Dialog Group Coaching Program, as well as free project referrals.
