Payment and Refund Policy

Last updated: 20 October 2026

Scope of the Policy and the Products or Services It Covers

This Payment and Refund Policy applies to all purchases of digital courses, training modules, and related professional resources offered through buzzpopry. The services focus on studio production in motion, including studio equipment setup, dynamic camera operation, lighting and sound waves, and workflows for television news and live shows. It covers both one-time purchases and any subscription-based access to Course A materials. The policy governs transactions made by customers located in the United Kingdom and explains how payments are processed, when contracts are formed, and under what conditions refunds may be granted. It does not apply to third-party products or services accessed through external links.

Prices, Currencies, Taxes, and Any Additional Charges

All prices on the site are displayed in British Pounds Sterling (GBP) and include value added tax (VAT) at the prevailing UK rate unless otherwise stated. Customers outside the UK may be responsible for any import duties or local taxes applied by their jurisdiction. No hidden fees are added at checkout beyond those disclosed before payment confirmation. Promotional discounts are applied automatically where eligible and cannot be combined with other offers. Prices may change without notice, but confirmed orders are honoured at the price displayed at the time of purchase.

Accepted Payment Methods, Payment Authorisation, and Payment Security

buzzpopry accepts major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers for course purchases. All payments are authorised in real time through secure third-party processors compliant with PCI DSS standards. Card details are never stored on our servers. Authorisation occurs when the customer confirms the order, and funds are transferred immediately for digital access. In the event of payment failure, the customer receives an automatic notification and may retry within 24 hours before the order is cancelled.

Order, Booking, or Service Confirmation and When a Contract Is Formed

A contract is formed when the customer completes the checkout process and receives an order confirmation email. This email contains details of the purchased course, access instructions, and a summary of the payment. Digital content is delivered instantly via account login after successful payment. For subscription services, the contract renews automatically unless cancelled in advance. Customers should retain the confirmation email as proof of purchase.

Cancellation Rights and Applicable Cancellation Periods

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, UK customers have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase to cancel without giving a reason. This right applies to most digital courses provided no substantial content has been accessed. If the customer begins downloading or streaming materials, the cancellation right ends immediately. Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time to prevent future renewals, but no partial refunds are issued for unused portions within the current billing cycle.

Refund Eligibility, Exclusions, and Non-Refundable Items or Services

Refunds are available within the 14-day period if the course has not been accessed. Once content is viewed or downloaded, refunds are not granted except in cases of technical failure on our side or duplicate billing. Promotional or discounted purchases are generally non-refundable after access begins. Customised or bespoke training resources fall outside standard refund eligibility. buzzpopry reserves the right to refuse refunds where abuse of the policy is suspected.

The Step-by-Step Procedure and Information Required to Request a Refund

To request a refund, contact [email protected] or 01494 671234 with the order number, purchase date, and reason for the request. Provide proof of payment and confirm whether any content has been accessed. Requests must be submitted within the applicable cancellation window. Our team acknowledges receipt within two business days and guides the customer through any additional verification steps required.

Inspection, Approval, Rejection, and Notification of the Refund Decision

Each refund request is reviewed against the eligibility criteria within five business days. Customers receive written notification of the decision via email. Approved refunds include an explanation of the amount and timeline. Rejected requests include the specific reason and information on how to appeal or seek further assistance through the contact form on our Contacts page.

Refund Method, Processing Time, and When Funds Should Reach the Customer

Refunds are issued to the original payment method. Credit card refunds typically appear within five to ten business days, while PayPal refunds process within three business days. Bank transfers may take up to seven business days depending on the provider. buzzpopry notifies the customer once the refund has been initiated. Delays beyond these periods should be reported immediately using the details provided on the Contacts page.

Special Rules for Digital Content, Subscriptions, Services, or Promotional Offers Where Relevant

Digital courses are non-returnable once access is granted, consistent with UK consumer law exceptions for digital content. Subscriptions auto-renew monthly or annually and can be cancelled via account settings to stop future charges. Promotional offers are subject to the same 14-day rule unless the customer has started the course. No refunds are provided for partially completed subscriptions or time-limited access bundles.

Failed Payments, Duplicate Charges, Chargebacks, and Suspected Fraud

Failed payments result in automatic order cancellation and notification. Duplicate charges are investigated and refunded within seven days upon verification. Chargebacks are treated as refund requests but may incur administrative fees if the original transaction was valid. Suspected fraudulent activity leads to immediate account suspension pending investigation, with legitimate customers contacted via [email protected] for resolution.

Mandatory Consumer Rights in the Target Country That the Policy Cannot Exclude

This policy operates alongside rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and UK GDPR. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other rights that cannot be limited by law. Customers retain the right to seek redress through the courts or alternative dispute resolution services if a satisfactory outcome is not reached directly with buzzpopry.
