Program Refund Policy

WWCOE Program deposits are non-refundable within one month of program commencement.

Once a course, program in Tracks 1-3, or an EWLP Program “has commenced”, full payment for the course/program will be owed to WWCOE (i.e. via either single payment or payment plan).

“Special Considerations” for Significant Medical or Life Changes:

As spaces cannot be backfilled once a course/program has commenced, partial refunds will only be considered and granted by WWCOE: 1) with required documentation (i.e. physician note or other verification) for significant and unexpected medical or life occurrences that would impede participation in and completion of the program(s) within the program schedule and 2) as per additional terms outlined below.

Programs Paid via “Single Payment” – A potential refund of up to 50% of total paid registration fees for programs in Tracks 1-3 that have “not yet commenced” may be considered and issued as per the conditions outlined in this refund policy.

Programs Paid via “Payment Plans” – Registrants approved for a refund as per the conditions outlined in this refund policy, will be invoiced/expected to pay up to 50% of the balance owed of the total payment plan for programs “not yet commenced”.

All Program refunds are issued at the sole discretion of WWCOE based on each personal request/reason(s) and provision of substantive documentation by appropriate authorities.

Termination

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to refuse or terminate your access to the Program, Product, Service and/or our Website, private Facebook group page, e-mail communications, or any other method of communication related to the Program, Product or Service at any time without notice. Should you wish to terminate the Program, Product or Service by seeking a refund, these termination terms will apply to you as well.

In the event of cancellation or termination, all remaining balances owed shall be immediately due, and you are no longer authorized to access the Program, Product, Service or our Website, private Facebook group page, e-mail or any or other method of communications affected by such cancellation or termination. The restrictions imposed on you with respect to material received for the Program, Product or Service and all of the disclaimers and limitations of liabilities set forth in these T&C, shall survive such termination of your access and apply in full force.

Dispute Resolution

It is hoped that should we ever have any differences, we could be able to work them out amiably through a phone conversation or e-mail correspondence. However, should a dispute ever arise between us, we agree now that we will submit to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, selected jointly, in accordance with the National Arbitration Rules of Canada. Any judgment on an arbitrator’s award, if made, is binding and may be entered into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction. Prior to seeking arbitration, you must submit your complaint to me via e-mail. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is full refund of your Payment made to date. No award of consequential or of any other damages may be granted to you.

By signing this Agreement you are agreeing to a modification of the statute of limitations such that any arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year of the date of the act, omission, or other conduct complained of as submitted by you in e-mail, or shall otherwise be forfeited forever. You also agree that should arbitration take place, it will be held in the city of St. Albert in the province of Alberta, Canada, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs necessary to enforce the Agreement.

These T&C and Privacy Policy shall be construed according to the laws of the city of St. Albert, province of Alberta, and country of Canada.

In the event of a dispute between us, you agree to not engage in any conduct or communications, public or private, designed to disparage us, our company, or any of our Programs, Products or Services. Where requested by law or arbitration, of course, you are not prohibited from sharing your thoughts and opinions as a part of the legal process.

If this T&C and Privacy Policy, or any part therein, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability remainder of the T&C and Privacy Policy which shall be given full force and effect.

If you have any questions about any term of these T&C, please contact us info@workplacewellnesscoe.com. Thank you.
