Payment and Refund Policy

Last updated: 27 September 2026

Scope of the Policy

This Payment and Refund Policy applies to all purchases of Course A stage production resources offered by stagewixo. The resources include materials and access related to set preparation, lighting control, camera placement, sound checks, and smooth workflows for both live and recorded shows. It covers all transactions made through the commercial website targeting customers in the United Kingdom. The policy explains how payments are processed, when contracts are formed, and the conditions under which refunds may be granted. It does not cover third-party services or physical goods unrelated to the digital course content.

Prices, Currencies, Taxes, and Additional Charges

All prices are displayed in British Pounds Sterling (GBP) and include value added tax (VAT) at the prevailing UK rate where applicable. Additional charges may arise for optional add-ons such as extended access periods or supplementary resources. Customers are informed of the total amount payable before completing any purchase. No hidden fees are applied, but currency conversion charges from the customer's bank may occur if payment is made from outside the UK. Prices are subject to change, but confirmed orders are honoured at the price displayed at the time of booking.

Accepted Payment Methods, Authorisation, and Security

stagewixo accepts major credit and debit cards, as well as secure digital payment platforms compliant with UK regulations. Payment authorisation occurs immediately upon submission of order details. All transactions are processed through encrypted gateways to protect cardholder data in line with PCI DSS standards and UK GDPR requirements. Customers receive confirmation once payment is authorised. Any declined payments trigger an immediate notification, and access to resources is withheld until successful processing.

Order Confirmation and Contract Formation

Upon successful payment, an order confirmation email is sent containing details of the purchased resources. The contract between the customer and stagewixo is formed at the point of payment authorisation. This confirmation serves as proof of purchase and outlines access instructions for the Course A materials. Customers should retain this email for reference when requesting support or refunds.

Cancellation Rights and Applicable Periods

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, customers in the UK have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase during which they may cancel without providing a reason. For digital content such as Course A resources, cancellation rights may be lost once download or access has begun if the customer has expressly consented to immediate performance. Services involving live elements or scheduled workshops have specific cancellation windows detailed at purchase.

Refund Eligibility, Exclusions, and Non-Refundable Items

Refunds are available for unused digital access within the cooling-off period provided no substantial content has been consumed. Exclusions apply to customised resources, promotional bundles, or content accessed beyond the trial threshold. Non-refundable items include any downloaded materials or completed workflow modules. Eligibility is assessed case by case, taking into account whether the customer has engaged with set preparation tutorials or sound check simulations.

Step-by-Step Procedure to Request a Refund

To request a refund, customers must email [email protected] with their order number, proof of purchase, and a brief explanation. Requests should be submitted within the applicable cancellation period. The email must include the customer's full name and address matching the purchase record. Incomplete requests will be returned for additional information, delaying processing.

Inspection, Approval, Rejection, and Notification

Upon receipt, stagewixo inspects the request against eligibility criteria within five working days. Approval results in a confirmation email detailing the refund amount. Rejection includes reasons such as prior access to core modules on lighting control or camera placement. Customers are notified by email at every stage, and decisions are final unless new evidence is provided within seven days.

Refund Method, Processing Time, and Fund Receipt

Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method. Processing takes up to ten working days, after which funds typically appear in the customer's account within three to five additional days depending on the bank. No cash refunds or alternative methods are offered. Customers are advised to check statements regularly and contact their bank if delays occur beyond the stated timeframe.

Special Rules for Digital Content, Subscriptions, and Promotional Offers

Digital resources in Course A are subject to immediate access rules under UK law. Subscriptions, if offered, auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. Promotional offers carry the same refund terms as standard purchases but may exclude introductory discounts from refund calculations. Customers lose cancellation rights for digital content once streaming of workflow videos or interactive sound check tools has started.

Failed Payments, Duplicate Charges, Chargebacks, and Suspected Fraud

Failed payments must be resolved within 48 hours to maintain order validity. Duplicate charges are investigated and refunded automatically upon detection. Chargebacks are treated as disputes and may lead to account suspension pending resolution. Suspected fraudulent activity results in immediate order cancellation and reporting to relevant UK authorities in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and PECR.

Mandatory Consumer Rights in the United Kingdom

This policy does not exclude or limit rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including remedies for faulty digital content. Customers retain statutory rights to repair, replacement, or refund for non-conforming services. UK GDPR and ePrivacy rules govern data handling during payment processing, ensuring transparency and security. These rights apply regardless of the policy terms.
