Payment and Refund Policy
Last updated: 4 November 2026
Scope of the Policy
This Payment and Refund Policy applies to all courses and related services offered by communyze through our website. The courses provide informative resources dedicated to audiovisual production excellence, including broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering, and streamlined workflows for television networks and live events. This policy governs purchases made by customers located in the United Kingdom and covers both one-time course access and any subscription-based options where applicable.
Prices, Currencies, Taxes and Additional Charges
All prices are displayed in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). Prices include applicable Value Added Tax (VAT) at the current UK rate unless otherwise stated. Additional charges may apply for optional extras such as extended access periods or supplementary materials. communyze reserves the right to adjust prices due to changes in tax rates or currency fluctuations, with any such changes applied only to new orders. Customers will be informed of the total amount due before completing a purchase.
Accepted Payment Methods, Authorisation and Security
We accept major credit and debit cards, bank transfers, and secure online payment platforms. All transactions are processed through encrypted channels compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. Payment authorisation occurs immediately upon order submission, and funds are held until the order is confirmed. communyze does not store full card details on its servers.
Order Confirmation and Contract Formation
Upon successful payment, customers receive an email confirmation containing order details and access instructions. A binding contract is formed once the confirmation email is sent. Customers should review all details in the confirmation promptly and contact [email protected] if any discrepancies are noted.
Cancellation Rights and Periods
Under UK consumer law, customers have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase during which they may cancel without providing a reason. This right applies provided the course content has not been accessed or downloaded. For digital content, cancellation is not possible once access has begun if the customer has given prior consent to waive the cooling-off period.
Refund Eligibility, Exclusions and Non-Refundable Items
Refunds are available within the 14-day period if no substantial access has occurred. Exclusions include cases where the customer has completed a significant portion of the course, downloaded materials, or where promotional discounts were applied. Non-refundable items encompass customised course bundles and any services already rendered. Refunds will not be issued for changes of mind after the cooling-off period or for failure to meet personal expectations.
Step-by-Step Procedure to Request a Refund
To request a refund, customers must submit a written request via email to [email protected] or through the contact form on the Contacts page. The request should include the order number, date of purchase, reason for the request, and any supporting details. Requests received outside the eligibility window will be declined. communyze acknowledges receipt of requests within two working days.
Inspection, Approval, Rejection and Notification
Each refund request undergoes review to verify eligibility based on access logs and policy terms. Approval or rejection decisions are communicated by email within ten working days. If approved, the customer receives confirmation of the refund amount and expected processing timeline. Rejected requests include an explanation and information on any available appeal process.
Refund Method, Processing Time and Receipt of Funds
Approved refunds are issued using the original payment method. Processing typically takes five to ten working days, though bank transfer times may vary by provider. Customers should allow up to fourteen days for funds to appear in their account. In cases of delay beyond this period, customers are encouraged to contact +44 (0)1344 649400 for assistance.
Special Rules for Digital Content, Subscriptions and Promotional Offers
For digital courses, access is granted immediately upon payment, triggering the loss of the standard cooling-off right once consumption begins. Subscription renewals are charged automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date. Promotional offers are subject to their own terms and may not qualify for refunds if the discount code has been redeemed. Customers may cancel subscriptions at any time, with access continuing until the end of the paid period.
Failed Payments, Duplicate Charges, Chargebacks and Suspected Fraud
Failed payments result in order cancellation and notification to the customer. Duplicate charges are investigated and refunded promptly upon verification. Chargebacks are treated as disputes and may lead to account review. Suspected fraudulent activity prompts immediate investigation, with possible suspension of access and reporting to relevant authorities in line with UK regulations.
Mandatory Consumer Rights
This policy does not affect any statutory rights under UK consumer protection laws, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Customers retain rights to remedies for faulty services or misrepresentations regardless of this policy. communyze complies fully with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 in handling any personal data related to transactions.
