  1. Refund and Cancellation Policies

1.1. On your Audiobook Partnership Program purchase:

 

At PublishingWave.com, we stand behind the ability of our program to get you results when you spend the time studying and implementing what you learn. Because of this, we simply ask that you give the program a fair attempt.

 

Your purchase of Audiobook Profits Academy comes with a 24 hour no questions asked refund period. To request a refund, please reach out to our support staff via email at [email protected]. After 24 hours have passed the program comes with our 180 day Action Based Refund/Profit Guarantee.

 

Our refund guarantee is a black and white guarantee meaning refunds are granted on a black and white basis (no grey area). If you have taken the required actions to qualify (listed below), then you can receive a full refund, end of story.

If you have not taken the required actions to qualify for a full refund (listed below), then you do not qualify and you will not receive a refund, end of story. There will be no exceptions.

Our guarantee and the conditions that follow have been put in place for your own good. The actions required to qualify are the exact same actions it takes to become a successful audiobook publisher. We are not asking you to do anything that you shouldn’t already do. We are simply asking you to use the program as it is intended, and that requires taking action. Some people give up at the first sign of resistance, and if you do so, then you are not giving us or the program the chance to help you. If we allowed students to quit when they hit adversity, we would have a fraction as many student success stories as we do.

 

The conditions for the action based refund guarantee are as follows:

 

  1. The member must list one audiobook on Audible that is at least 2 hours in length.
  2. The member must attend two 1-on-1 coaching calls

 

The timeframe in which these criteria must be met is 180 days. If the criteria is met and the member is not happy with their level or results, they can claim a full refund for the enrollment fee in the program.

  

This guarantee is only applicable to your enrollment fee as all additional purchases such as the 4 coaching calls - package are non-refundable and are completely available to you to be used at your discretion during your membership period.

 

All criteria for meeting our action based refund guarantee must be provided to our support staff via email at [email protected]. If you have not completed the actions stated above, your refund request will not be considered. Please do not contact our team for a refund if you have not taken the actions required to receive a full refund.

 

We are DEDICATED to your success and want you to use the program the way it was intended. We have no intent of withholding refunds to people who have made an honest attempt and found this business model is not for them. If you are having problems, please tag the coaches in the private community Facebook group. We are standing by ready to solve any issue you might have and help you move forward.

 

Our generous 180 day action based refund guarantee is not to be abused in any way. These terms are without exception and a refund request outside of these requirements will not be processed.

 

You agree that you fully understand that our staff is always willing to work with you and will always honor any guarantee. However, if you file a fraudulent dispute or chargeback, you forfeit your refund and your account will be reported to your bank as fraud, sent to collections and possibly pursued legally. You have zero risk of this issue as long as you just speak with our staff by emailing them at [email protected]. We will not tolerate fraud of any kind.

 

The 180 day action based refund/profit guarantee does not look at your personal issues as forms of consideration, strictly and only the criteria stated above. This is why the refund guarantee is a black and white refund guarantee. No ifs, ands or buts.

 

The following reasons do not qualify for the 180 day action based refund/profit guarantee and you will not receive a refund if:

 

- You changed your mind

- You lost motivation

- You found the program confusing and not for you

- Not computer or tech savvy enough

- Don’t have the money or time to use the program

- Emergency family situation

- Unexpected health or financial issues

- Need some quick and easy money

- Personal drama

- Any other reason that is unrelated to the action-based criteria stated above

 

This is not because we are evil, money hungry devils. It is because we will not allow you to use your personal life’s circumstances to give up on the program, and more importantly yourself.

 

Extra Membership Bonus

The extra membership bonus in which we provide an extra login to any person who you want to work through the program with does not include the four 1-on-1 coaching calls. This item is only reserved for the person who originally purchased the program and is not interchangeable and not transferable with anyone else. All resource from the core offer and all the bonuses are included in this additional membership slot except the four 1-on-1 coaching calls. If you have any further questions about this you can email us at [email protected]

退款和取消政策 1.1. 對於您的有聲書合作計劃購買:

在PublishingWave.com,我們堅信,只要您花時間學習和實施所學到的知識,我們的計劃就能為您帶來成果。因此,我們只是要求您認真嘗試該計劃。

您購買的有聲書利潤學院附帶一個24小時無條件退款期。要求退款,請通過電子郵件聯繫我們的支持人員,郵箱為[email protected]。24小時過後,該計劃附帶我們的180天基於行動的退款/利潤保證。

我們的退款保證是一種黑白保證,這意味著退款是根據明確的標準進行的(沒有灰色地帶)。如果您已採取所需的行動來符合資格(下文列出),則您可以獲得全額退款,沒有任何問題。

如果您未採取所需的行動來符合全額退款的資格(下文列出),則您不符合資格,將不獲得退款,沒有例外。

我們的保證和隨之而來的條件是為了您的利益。符合資格所需的行動與成為成功的有聲書出版商所需的行動完全相同。我們不要求您做任何不應該做的事情。我們只是要求您按照計劃的意圖使用它,而這需要採取行動。有些人在遇到第一次阻礙時就放棄了,如果您這樣做,那麼您就沒有給我們或計劃提供幫助的機會。如果我們允許學生在遇到逆境時放棄,我們的學生成功故事將只有少數。

行動退款保證的條件如下:

會員必須在Audible上列出一本長度至少為2小時的有聲書。 會員必須參加兩次1對1的教練輔導。 這些標準必須在180天內達到。如果標準達到,且會員對自己的水平或結果不滿意,則可以對課程的報名費要求全額退款。

 

此保證僅適用於您的報名費,所有額外購買,例如4次教練輔導 - 套餐都是不可退款的,並且在您的會籍期間完全可供您自行決定使用。

要滿足我們基於行動的退款保證的所有標準,必須通過電子郵件向我們的支持人員提供,郵箱為[email protected]。如果您未完成上述行動,您的退款請求將不予考慮。如果您未採取行動以獲得全額退款,請不要聯繫我們的團隊要求退款。

我們致力於您的成功,並希望您按照課程的意圖使用它。我們無意對那些誠實嘗試過並發現這個商業模式不適合他們的人保留退款。如果您遇到問題,請在私人社區Facebook群組中標記教練。我們隨時準備解決您可能遇到的任何問題,並幫助您向前邁進。

我們慷慨的180天基於行動的退款保證不得以任何方式濫用。這些條款沒有例外,不符合這些要求的退款請求將不予處理。

您同意您充分了解,我們的工作人員始終樂意與您合作,並始終尊重任何保證。但是,如果您提出欺詐性爭議或取消訂單,您將喪失退款資格,並且您的帳戶將被報告給您的銀行作為欺詐,被送往收集部門,並可能被法律追究責任。只要您與我們的工作人員通過發送電子郵件至[email protected]進行交流,您就不會面臨這個問題的風險。我們不會容忍任何形式的欺詐。

180天基於行動的退款/利潤保證不會將您的個人問題作為考慮因素,嚴格遵循上述標準。這就是為什麼退款保證是一種黑白退款保證的原因。沒有如果,只有結果。

以下情況不符合180天基於行動的退款/利潤保證,如果:

  • 您改變主意
  • 您失去了動力
  • 您發現該計劃令人困惑,且不適合您
  • 沒有足夠的電腦或技術知識
  • 沒有足夠的金錢或時間使用該計劃
  • 突發家庭情況
  • 意外的健康或財務問題
  • 需要一些快速而容易的錢
  • 個人劇情
  • 其他與上述基於行動的標準無關的任何原因
