Payment and Refund Policy

Last updated: 06 October 2026

Scope of the Policy and the Products or Services It Covers

This Payment and Refund Policy applies to all purchases of digital courses, professional resources, and related services offered through the website operated by shinepulseup. It covers access to materials on studio equipment setup, dynamic camera operation, lighting and sound waves, and workflows for television news and live shows. The policy governs transactions made by customers in the United Kingdom and explains rights and obligations when buying these professional training resources. It does not extend to any physical goods or third-party services not directly provided by shinepulseup.

Prices, Currencies, Taxes, and Any Additional Charges

All prices are displayed in British Pounds Sterling (GBP) and include applicable value added tax (VAT) at the current UK rate unless stated otherwise. Customers outside the United Kingdom may be subject to local taxes or import duties upon purchase, though digital delivery typically avoids such charges. No hidden fees apply to standard course access, but premium add-ons or extended subscriptions may incur extra costs clearly shown at checkout. shinepulseup reserves the right to adjust prices, but changes do not affect orders already confirmed.

Accepted Payment Methods, Payment Authorisation, and Payment Security

Payments are accepted via major credit and debit cards, bank transfers, and approved digital wallets. All transactions require authorisation from the card issuer or payment provider before access is granted. shinepulseup uses secure payment gateways compliant with UK financial regulations to protect card details. No payment information is stored on our servers. Customers should ensure sufficient funds are available, as declined payments will prevent course activation.

Order, Booking, or Service Confirmation and When a Contract Is Formed

Upon successful payment, an order confirmation email is sent to the address provided during checkout. This confirmation constitutes formation of the contract between the customer and shinepulseup. Access to digital content begins immediately after confirmation, reflecting the nature of downloadable or streamed professional resources. Customers must review all details before completing payment, as immediate access limits certain rights.

Cancellation Rights and Applicable Cancellation Periods

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, customers in the United Kingdom generally have a 14-day cooling-off period to cancel. However, because digital content is supplied instantly upon purchase, this period may not apply once access has started. Customers who have not begun downloading or streaming may cancel within 14 days for a full refund. Cancellations must be notified in writing to [email protected].

Refund Eligibility, Exclusions, and Non-Refundable Items or Services

Refunds are available for courses not yet accessed or within the statutory cooling-off period where applicable. Exclusions include any content already downloaded, streamed, or used, as well as promotional or discounted bundles. Non-refundable items also cover customised resources or live workshop sessions already attended. Eligibility depends on whether the customer has materially benefited from the professional resource on studio production topics.

The Step-by-Step Procedure and Information Required to Request a Refund

To request a refund, contact [email protected] with the order number, date of purchase, and reason for the request. Include details of any access already taken. Requests must be submitted within the relevant time limits. shinepulseup will acknowledge receipt within five working days and guide the customer through any further steps required.

Inspection, Approval, Rejection, and Notification of the Refund Decision

Each refund request undergoes review to confirm eligibility based on access logs and policy terms. Approval or rejection is communicated by email within ten working days. If rejected, the notification will explain the reasons, such as prior content access or missed deadlines. Customers may appeal once with additional supporting information.

Refund Method, Processing Time, and When Funds Should Reach the Customer

Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method. Processing typically takes five to ten working days after approval, though bank processing may extend this to fourteen days. Customers will receive confirmation once the refund has been initiated. No cash refunds are provided.

Special Rules for Digital Content, Subscriptions, Services, or Promotional Offers Where Relevant

Digital courses on studio production in motion are non-returnable after access begins due to their intangible nature. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date, with notice provided by email. Promotional offers carry the same refund rules as standard purchases, and no partial refunds apply to unused portions of annual access plans.

Failed Payments, Duplicate Charges, Chargebacks, and Suspected Fraud

Failed payments result in order cancellation and no access granted. Duplicate charges detected by the system are investigated and refunded automatically where verified. Chargebacks must be preceded by direct contact to [email protected] to resolve issues. Suspected fraudulent activity leads to immediate account suspension pending investigation, with possible involvement of UK authorities.

Mandatory Consumer Rights in the Target Country That the Policy Cannot Exclude

This policy respects all rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including remedies for faulty digital content. Nothing in these terms removes statutory protections available to UK consumers, such as the right to repair, replacement, or refund for non-conforming services. shinepulseup operates in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 where personal data is processed during transactions.

The latest version is always available on the website, with the date of the most recent update shown at the top of the page.
