Refund Policy

1. Overview

At PracticeSafe, we are committed to providing high-quality training services. This Refund Policy explains the circumstances under which refunds may be issued, in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.

2. General Refund Policy

Certificate fees are generally non-refundable once a certificate has been successfully generated and downloaded. However, refunds may be provided in the following circumstances:

• Technical issues preventing access to paid content
• Duplicate payments or payment processing errors
• Service failures that prevent certificate generation after payment
• Major failures as defined by Australian Consumer Law

3. Refund Eligibility

3.1 Eligible for Refund

You may be eligible for a full or partial refund if:

• Payment was processed but certificate was not generated due to a system error
• You were charged multiple times for the same certificate
• The service was unavailable for an extended period after payment
• The certificate contains errors due to our system fault
• The training content was substantially different from what was advertised
• Technical issues prevented you from accessing paid content within 48 hours of purchase

3.2 Not Eligible for Refund

Refunds will not be provided in the following situations:

• Certificate has been successfully generated and downloaded
• You changed your mind after completing payment
• You did not pass the assessment (you may retake the test for free within your 12-month access period)
• Your employer or organization does not accept the certificate
• Certificate has expired due to the 12-month validity period

• All training materials remain accessible during the 12-month access period
• After 12 months from purchase, you must repurchase the module to regain access and retake the test
• No refund is provided as the service (access to training and assessment) was delivered

10. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in this Refund Policy limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Under the Australian Consumer Law, you have guaranteed rights for services that:

• Are provided with acceptable care and skill
• Are fit for the purpose we tell you they are fit for
• Are delivered within a reasonable time

If there is a major failure with our service, you may be entitled to cancel your service contract and obtain a refund, or to receive compensation. If the failure is not major, you are entitled to have the problem rectified in a reasonable time and, if this does not happen, to cancel the contract and obtain a refund for the unused portion.

11. Partial Refunds

In some circumstances, partial refunds may be provided:

• If you completed part of the training before requesting a refund
• If the issue affected only a portion of the service
• If a certificate was issued but contained errors requiring reissuance

The partial refund amount will be calculated based on the portion of service affected.

12. Exceptions and Special Cases

Special circumstances may warrant exceptions to this policy:

• Medical emergencies preventing course completion
• Death or serious illness of immediate family member
• Natural disasters or emergencies

These requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us with supporting documentation.

13. Disputes

If you disagree with our refund decision:

1. Internal Review: Request a review of the decision from our management team
2. External Resolution: Contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or your local consumer protection agency
3. Legal Action: You may pursue legal remedies in accordance with Australian law
