Refund Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

At LaunchPath Pro, we are committed to providing high-quality business consulting and advisory services. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which refunds may be requested and processed for our services.

1. General Refund Principles

Due to the professional and personalized nature of our consulting services, refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. We strive to ensure client satisfaction while maintaining fair business practices for both parties.

Our refund policy is designed to:

• Protect clients from unsatisfactory service delivery
• Ensure fair compensation for services already rendered
• Maintain transparency in our business relationships
• Encourage open communication about concerns or issues

2. Eligibility for Refunds

2.1 Service Not Delivered

You may be eligible for a full refund if:

• We fail to provide agreed services within the specified timeframe without valid reason
• We cancel the engagement without completing deliverables
• Services are not initiated within 30 days of payment (unless a later start date was agreed)

2.2 Service Quality Issues

You may be eligible for a partial refund if:

• Deliverables significantly deviate from agreed specifications without justification
• Services provided materially fail to meet professional standards
• We are unable to fulfill key deliverables outlined in the service agreement

2.3 Early Termination by Client

If you choose to terminate services early:

• You will be charged for all services provided up to the termination date
• No refund will be provided for services already delivered
• Prepaid fees for future services may be refundable, minus a 25% administrative fee
• Specific terms may vary based on your service agreement

3. Non-Refundable Services and Fees

The following are generally non-refundable:

• Completed Services: Any services that have been fully delivered and completed
• Consultation Time: Time spent in meetings, calls, or consultations
