Return Policy
As all of our products are digital, they are deemed “used” after purchase or download. This, unfortunately, means we have a strict no refund policy in regards to dissatisfaction with a product. You may cancel your subscription at any time, and you will continue to have access to The Belle Method service through the end of your Monthly or Quarterly or Annual billing period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH OR PARTIAL QUARTER, OR PARTIAL YEAR MEMBERSHIP PERIODS OR UNWATCHED BELLE METHOD CONTENT.
Billing Cycle
The membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each Month, Quarter, or Year thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. We automatically bill your Payment Method each Month, Quarter or each Year on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership fees and fees for all our services are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Belle Method membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th if paying monthly, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Membership.
Free Trials
a) We may provide a free trial subscription for a fixed period of time, as determined by us at our sole discretion.
b) Unless otherwise stated in respect of specific promotions, free trials are only available to new Belle Method users, and we reserve the right to cancel any trial subscription immediately if we become aware that the subscriber has already had a trial subscription on a different User Account or using a different email address. Any attempts to register for a further free trial on the same User Account or using the same email address may result in you being charged for the applicable subscription fees.
c) If you begin your subscription with a free trial, we will begin billing your payment method for subscription fees at the end of the free trial period of your subscription unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the free trial period.
Cancellation
All of our memberships are auto-renewal and must be canceled by each member 48-hours prior to each billing cycle to avoid recurring charges (This is a business standard similar to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple & Google subscriptions).
You may cancel your Belle Method membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Belle Method service through the end of your Month, Quarter, or Year billing period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH OR PARTIAL-QUARTER, OR PARTIAL-ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP PERIODS OR UNWATCHED CONTENT.
