Return Policy
Last Updated:
1. Introduction
This Return Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which SilentNest Sleep ("we," "our," or "us") offers refunds and manages cancellations for our lifestyle coaching services focused on promoting restful sleep. We are committed to client satisfaction while maintaining fair and transparent policies.
This Return Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By purchasing our services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms set forth in this policy.
2. Nature of Our Services
SilentNest Sleep provides lifestyle coaching services designed to improve sleep quality through personalized guidance, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle optimization. Our services are delivered through one-on-one coaching sessions, personalized plans, and ongoing support. Because our services involve time-sensitive coaching appointments and personalized attention, special conditions apply to refunds and cancellations.
3. Cooling-Off Period
In accordance with Australian Consumer Law, you have a cooling-off period during which you may cancel your coaching program and receive a full refund:
- Duration: You have 7 days from the date of purchase to cancel your coaching program
- Conditions: The cooling-off period applies only if you have not yet commenced your first coaching session
- How to Cancel: To exercise your cooling-off right, contact us in writing via email at community@zlozarinkhex.world stating your intention to cancel
- Refund Processing: If you cancel during the cooling-off period and before your first session, you will receive a full refund of all fees paid, processed within 7-10 business days
