REFUND POLICY


Our following Refund Policy outlines the process, conditions, and time frames for an eligible refund with user termination of online access to course material. 

-Financial Markets:
 One Independent Module / One Video

As the Independent Module on Financial Markets consists of One Module / One Video,  NO REFUNDS are allowed.  Please be sure to watch the Course Preview Video on What to Expect before purchasing.

The Purchase/s of the Independent Module in Financial Markets and/or related products/services on this Website are final and once the Independent Module on Financial Markets has been accessed online, no purchase refunds will be allowed.

-Economic Insight:
 Course consisting of Six Modules / Ten Videos.

  1. Eligibility for a Full Refund:
     

    We offer a full payment Refund on the course in Economic Insight within the first 15 days after the date of purchase/enrollment, provided online access had only been gained to course material related to Module 1.  Refund eligibility is therefore further based on the condition that Module 2 had not been accessed online whatsoever.  Once online access has been gained to Module 2 (regardless of whether or not it falls within the first 15 days of purchase) NO REFUNDS will be allowed.  In other words, a full refund will ONLY be granted if the refund request falls WITHIN the 15 day period following the purchase/enrollment/registration AND on condition that the student has not already commenced Module 2.

  2. Initiating a Refund Request:
  1. Refund Process:
     

    Your request for a Refund will be reviewed without delay, upon which we will revert back to you via email. An eligible refund will be processed and automatically be applied to your original method of payment within 2 -10 business days, depending on the respective payment systems and financial platforms involved.  Should the refund not reflect after this period, kindly contact us at [email protected]

  2. Refund Fees and Costs:

GENERAL INFORMATION


NASPELING® (“company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) hosts online course/s.  In addition, we may create online communities for the sole purpose of shared dialogue, interpretation, thought, and debate in the interest of enhanced economic understanding and insight. In the event of participants/external parties occasionally sharing digital links or posts containing articles or contributions published by either participants themselves or by external parties, it should be noted that NASPELING® categorically distances itself from any unverified articles, facts or sources and misinformation for the purpose of political gain and/or to benefit any interest group.


Our course videos are accessible online only.  We may, however, provide additional downloadable published articles related to some topics covered in certain course modules.  This merely serves as an additional source for course attendees to read through and interpret, based on the learnings/topics covered in that module.  Whilst adding these articles, NASPELING® does not, by implication, condone or necessarily agree with the opinion expressed as these articles explicitly serve as supplementary support toward economic interpretation.


Although the creation process of this course had been conducted through diligent research and verification and with the utmost care to ensure correctness at the time of publishing online, global events and their economic impacts constantly and exponentially evolve.  The overall goal of NASPELING® constitutes bringing an improved understanding of and insight into the broader field of Economics to a wider audience. 


NASPELING®, its content creator and author therefore claim complete impartiality and objectivity, and any information contained in this course that may be interpreted as an opinion, would in totality represent the views of the author and creator.


This website is inspired by the passion for skills development and education in the field of a general and broad level of Economic Understanding.  We strive to provide insight into the discipline of economic fundamentals in an attempt to:

to contribute toward the improvement of social upliftment and sustainable economic growth.  We are by no means, nor do we claim to be, economists or professional financial/economic advisors.  Our content should not be used as a substitute for any economic/financial advice or academic curricula from any formal or accredited institution or professional authority.


It is of paramount importance to note that the informational content included in all online course/s offered by NASPELING® - although developed from decades of corporate financial experience, continued studies, research, and observation – still remains the views of the founder of NASPELING®, Nancy Aspeling. Therefore, all course content merely serves to promote and/or support an insight and overall understanding of the complex and intricate field of Economics. Subsequently, no information or course content - neither as a whole nor in part - should be applied to replace any professional financial investment/economic advice, nor any academic lectures, teachings, or certifications from any formal or legally accredited/registered body or institution.


There are no guarantees of course outcomes and it remains incumbent upon each individual to seek a deeper understanding of any topic or subject matter mentioned or discussed throughout the course/s, should it be required in accordance with individual levels of understanding.  


NASPELING® distances itself from any potential controversial views and/or opinions that may be expressed by any participant or user of this website and inclusive of its associated social media platforms. Whilst encouraging healthy and always respectful debate, we reserve the right to terminate individual access in the extreme occurrence of hate speech, bullying, abuse, defamation, or any kind of malicious and intimidating behaviour.  By using this website, you accept full liability for any potential damages or harm, directly or indirectly,  inflicted on the Website as a result of your violation of our Terms of Use, which incorporates our Disclaimer and Privacy Policy.
