Failure to attend, late arrival, early departure, absence, partial attendance, change of personal schedule or non-participation shall not entitle the participant to a refund.
8. Seat Reservation and Limited Capacity Programmes
Many of our programmes have limited seats, limited batch capacity or planned faculty allocation. Once a participant reserves a seat, that seat may be blocked for them and may not be available to another learner.
For this reason, payments made for seat reservation, admission confirmation, premium batches, limited-seat workshops, personal coaching or membership programmes are generally non-refundable.

Fees paid for premium batches, small-group batches, personalised coaching, mentoring, public speaking coaching, communication coaching, leadership coaching, interview preparation or similar high-attention services are non-refundable once the participant is admitted, scheduled or given access.

Membership fees paid for Global Speakers Circle or any similar community, club, leadership, communication or public speaking initiative are generally non-refundable.
Non-attendance, lack of participation, personal unavailability, dissatisfaction with peer interaction, inability to attend meetings or change of interest shall not ordinarily qualify for a refund.
11. DavidLinus.com Programmes
Fees paid for public speaking, communication, leadership, confidence-building, coaching, workshops, webinars, online learning programmes, masterclasses, events or consulting services offered through DavidLinus.com are generally non-refundable.
Any specific refund or cancellation condition, if applicable to a particular event or programme, must be expressly stated in writing on the relevant payment page, proposal, invoice, brochure or registration document.

- Dates
- Timings
- Batch schedules
- Faculty or trainer
- Venue
- Course structure
- Delivery format
- Programme content
- Technology platform

Such changes shall not ordinarily entitle participants to a refund, provided the Organisation continues to deliver substantially the same educational service or a reasonable alternative.
16. Batch Transfer and Rescheduling
At its sole discretion, the Organisation may allow batch transfer, rescheduling, repeat access or adjustment to another batch where operationally possible.
Batch transfer or rescheduling is not guaranteed and shall depend on seat availability, programme type, batch size, trainer availability, technical feasibility and internal approval.
Granting one transfer or adjustment shall not create a general right to future transfers, credits or refunds.
17. Cancellation by Participant
If a participant cancels, withdraws or chooses not to continue after payment, no refund shall ordinarily be provided.
The Organisation may, at its sole discretion, offer credit, transfer, partial adjustment or alternative access in exceptional cases. Such discretionary accommodation shall not be treated as a legal obligation or precedent.
18. Cancellation by the Organisation
If the Organisation permanently cancels a programme and does not provide a reasonable substitute, rescheduled session, alternative batch, credit or equivalent service, it may, at its discretion or where required by applicable law, offer an appropriate refund, credit or transfer.
The Organisation shall not be liable for indirect losses, travel expenses, opportunity loss, business loss, emotional distress, internet cost or any other consequential loss arising from cancellation or rescheduling.
19. Postponement and Alternative Delivery
If a class, workshop, webinar, event or programme is postponed, delayed or rescheduled, the participant shall generally be entitled to attend the rescheduled session or alternative arrangement, not a refund.
Where reasonably practicable, the Organisation may provide alternative delivery through online mode, recorded access, make-up session, repeat session, substitute trainer or revised schedule.
20. Force Majeure
The Organisation shall not be liable for delays, cancellations, postponements, interruptions or non-performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including:
- Natural disasters
- Pandemics or epidemics
- Government restrictions
- Civil unrest
- War or conflict
- Labour disputes
- Internet outages

In such circumstances, the Organisation may reschedule, substitute, provide alternative access or offer credit where reasonably practicable.
21. Payment Errors and Duplicate Payments
If a genuine duplicate payment, excess payment or incorrect payment is identified and verified by the Organisation, the Organisation may process a refund or adjustment after internal verification.
The user must submit proof of payment, transaction reference, registered name, mobile number, email address, payment date and any other details required for verification.
Refunds for verified duplicate or excess payments may be subject to deduction of payment gateway charges, bank charges, administrative costs or taxes where applicable.
22. Incorrect Payment Details
The Organisation shall not be responsible for payments made to incorrect accounts, incorrect UPI IDs, wrong QR codes, wrong beneficiaries or unauthorised persons where such payment was not received by the Organisation.
Users are responsible for verifying payment details before making payment.
23. Taxes, Gateway Charges and Administrative Costs
Where any refund is approved, the refunded amount may be reduced by applicable taxes, bank charges, payment gateway fees, transaction costs, administrative expenses or any non-recoverable amount incurred by the Organisation.
Taxes already deposited or payable to government authorities may not be refundable except where legally permissible.
24. Refund Processing Time
Where a refund is approved in writing by the Organisation, the refund will be processed within a reasonable time after verification.
Processing time may vary depending on the bank, payment gateway, UPI provider, internal verification, holidays, technical issues and regulatory requirements.
Refunds, where approved, will generally be made to the original payment method or bank account used for payment, unless the Organisation decides otherwise for valid operational reasons.
25. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Participants agree to contact the Organisation first before initiating any chargeback, reversal request, dispute or complaint with a bank, card issuer, UPI provider or payment gateway.
Fraudulent, abusive, premature or unjustified chargebacks may result in suspension of access to services, cancellation of registration and recovery action in accordance with applicable law.
26. No Refund for Misconduct or Policy Violation
No refund shall be provided where access is suspended, restricted or terminated because of user misconduct, abuse, harassment, cheating, disruption, unlawful activity, unauthorised sharing of materials, violation of class rules, violation of intellectual property rights or breach of any applicable policy.
27. No Refund for Dissatisfaction Without Defect in Service
Educational services involve subjective expectations, personal effort and individual participation.
Mere dissatisfaction, change of personal preference, disagreement with teaching style, lack of practice, failure to attend regularly or expectation of guaranteed outcomes shall not ordinarily constitute grounds for a refund.
28. No Guarantee of Outcome
Our programmes are educational and developmental in nature. We do not guarantee employment, promotion, income generation, freelancing success, business growth, public speaking success, English fluency, personal transformation, visa approval, admission, certification recognition by third parties or any specific result.
Therefore, failure to achieve a desired personal, professional, academic, financial or career outcome shall not entitle the participant to a refund.
29. Legal Exception
Nothing in this Refund Policy shall exclude, restrict or limit any statutory rights available to consumers under applicable Indian law.
Where a refund is expressly required by a court of competent jurisdiction, a regulatory authority or mandatory provisions of applicable law, such refund shall be processed in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.
