A binding contract forms when spotflashnu issues a written confirmation email following successful payment. This confirmation outlines the specific course modules access duration and any prerequisites. Until this point the booking remains provisional and either party may withdraw without penalty.

Cancellations must be notified in writing via the contact form on the Contacts page or by emailing [email protected].

Group bookings or customised training programmes may have shorter or no cooling-off periods as they are treated as bespoke services. The exact terms are detailed in the booking confirmation.

Refund Eligibility Exclusions and Non-Refundable Items or Services

Refunds are available for cancellations within the cooling-off period provided no substantial course content has been accessed. Once modules are viewed or live sessions attended the service is considered consumed and refunds are not granted.
