All refund requests for consulting services must be submitted in writing to info@smartcrmblog.com, including your order number and a detailed explanation of your dissatisfaction.

3. Refund Policy for Digital Products

3.1 E-Books, Guides, and Templates

Due to the digital nature of our e-books, guides, and templates, all sales are generally final. However, we offer the following refund options:

3.1.1 Technical Issues

If you experience technical issues that prevent you from accessing or using the digital product properly, we will first attempt to resolve the issue. If we cannot resolve the issue within 7 days, you may be eligible for a full refund.

3.1.2 Content Dissatisfaction

If you find the content of our digital products substantially different from what was advertised or of unacceptable quality, you may request a refund within 14 days of purchase. Please include specific details about why you found the content unsatisfactory.

3.1.3 Accidental Purchase

If you accidentally purchased the wrong digital product, contact us within 24 hours of purchase, and we may process a refund or exchange at our discretion, provided you have not downloaded or accessed a significant portion of the content.

3.2 Online Courses and Webinars

3.2.1 Pre-recorded Courses

For pre-recorded courses, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase if you are not satisfied with the course content. To be eligible for a refund:

• You must not have completed more than 25% of the course
• You must provide specific feedback about why the course did not meet your expectations

If you are unable to attend a live webinar, instead of a refund, we typically offer access to the recorded version at no additional cost.
