Refund Policy – we will refund your purchase per the terms of the individual program – however, be advised, you will not be allowed to purchase ANY OTHER PROGRAMS ever again. The reason is simple, there is nothing preventing you from purchasing and refunding multiple programs and moving through the catalog. For example, you could purchase 60 Minute Self Defense, wait 29 days, get a refund and then purchase One Shot Fight Enders…and so forth. Programs and training are given in good faith and the truth is, if you like one program, you will find extreme value in the others.
60 Day Money Back Guarantee applies to only the primary products like the FAST COURSE or the AWARE COURSE. Any add ons including, but not limited to ELITE Weapon Defense or Quick Kills and all other programs have a 30 day money back guarantee. Any trials of the SDTS Programs have a 30 day money back guarantee ONLY on the first monthly installment. After that the user (you) can cancel at any time without any obligation moving forward, but are NOT allowed any refunds.
Why?
It’s simple, any reasonable person should be able to figure out if this is good for them within a month (honestly you should know in the first 10 minutes). Anyone who hangs on for more than 30 days is either being dishonest (trying to get as much as possible for free) or, well…not too bright. Either way, you had MORE than your chance.
Important Note: Any customer will be black listed and banned for life who:
- Takes multiple trials of any program or membership.
- Issues a chargeback on any program.
- Uses extreme profane or inappropriate language on the training platform.
- Is discovered to be convicted of a crime against children, or sexual assault.
- Declines or issues a chargeback on ANY Operation Phoenix payment.
