When you can get your money back, and how to ask. No hoops, no fine print hiding in the fine print. Questions go to [email protected]
Last updated 14 October 2026Your rights under Australian Consumer Law always apply
01About this policy
This policy explains when you can get a refund for something you've bought from Start and Succeed, and how to ask for one. It sits alongside our Terms & Conditions. If the two ever say something different, the Terms apply.
The short version: digital products aren't refundable if you change your mind. Coaching packages have a 7-day cooling-off period. If something we sell you doesn't work or isn't as described, you get your money back. Always.
02Your rights under Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in this policy takes away your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Our services come with guarantees that can't be excluded. If there's a major problem with a product or service, for example it doesn't work, isn't as described or isn't delivered, you're entitled to a refund or a fix, whichever you choose. For minor problems, I'll fix it within a reasonable time.

This covers the Unmasked Identity Workshop and any other digital product. You get instant access to the full content the moment you pay, so digital products aren't refundable if you change your mind.
You will get a full refund if:
you can't access the product and I can't fix it within a reasonable time
the product is materially different from how it was described
you were charged twice, or charged the wrong amount
Can't log in or something isn't loading? Email [email protected] first. It's usually a quick fix.
051:1 coaching
Cooling-off period
You can cancel a coaching package within 7 days of purchase for a full refund, as long as no sessions have been held.
After 7 days, or once we've started
Fees for sessions already held or booked aren't refundable. If you're on a payment plan, the remaining balance is still payable. If something's not working, talk to me. Most problems can be sorted out with an honest conversation.
Rescheduling and missed sessions
Reschedule for free with at least 48 hours' notice.
Sessions cancelled with less notice, or missed without notice, count as used.
Sessions must be used within 6 months of your first session, unless we agree otherwise in writing. Unused sessions after that aren't refunded.
If I end the coaching relationship
If I end our coaching for any reason, or can't continue, I'll refund every unused, prepaid session. You'll never lose money because of me.
Your coaching agreement may set out different terms for your package. If it does, the agreement applies.
06Speaking engagements
Speaking bookings are confirmed with a 50% deposit. If you cancel:
When you cancel
What happens
More than 60 days before the event
Deposit refunded, less a 10% admin fee
30 to 60 days before
Deposit kept
Less than 30 days before
Full fee payable
Instead of cancelling, you can move the event to a new date within 12 months, subject to availability. If illness or an emergency stops me from attending, you choose: a new date or a full refund of everything you've paid.
I'll reply within 5 business days. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method through Stripe. Depending on your bank, it can take 5 to 10 business days to appear.
Our prices are in US dollars (USD), and refunds are made in USD for the amount you paid. If your bank converted the payment from another currency, the amount you get back may differ slightly because of exchange rates. Any currency conversion or international transaction fees your bank charged aren't covered.
09Chargebacks
If you're unhappy with a purchase, please contact me before disputing the charge with your bank. It's faster for you, and it gives me the chance to put it right. Disputes raised without contacting me first may lead to your access to products being paused while the dispute is open.
