- No voluntary satisfaction guarantee is offered. What is offered is exactly what consumer law provides: a 14-day right to withdraw from the contract, with a proportionate deduction if a reading or session has already been delivered, and a full refund whenever a reading or session cannot be delivered by me.
For coaching, the first Private Strategic Session exists precisely so that neither of us has to rely on a refund to find out whether this is the right fit.
2. STATUTORY RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL — 14 DAYS
As a consumer you may withdraw from a distance contract within 14 calendar days of the day it was concluded, without giving any reason.
How to withdraw
Email imperiumlingua@gmail.com with a clear statement that you are withdrawing, before the 14 days expire. No form and no explanation are required. You will receive written confirmation.
This matters more for readings than for anything else on this site. Most readings are delivered within 24 to 72 hours — well inside the 14-day window. If you asked for early delivery and gave your written consent to it, and the reading has been fully delivered, the right of withdrawal is lost for that reading once it lands in your inbox or messages. This consent is requested at the time of booking, on every reading.
What is refunded
— You withdraw within 14 days and nothing has been delivered yet: everything paid, in full.
— You withdraw within 14 days, having asked for early delivery, and it was partly delivered (e.g. a multi-session program already under way): everything paid, minus a proportionate amount for what was actually delivered.
— A reading or single session was requested, delivered and fully completed inside the 14 days, with your prior express consent to early performance and your acknowledgement that the right would be lost: no refund — the right of withdrawal has been lost.
That consent and acknowledgement are requested in writing at the time of booking. If they were not given, your full right of withdrawal remains.
Refunds are made within 14 days of receiving your withdrawal, using the same payment method you paid with. No fee is charged for making a refund.
3. AFTER THE 14 DAYS
Once the withdrawal period has passed, readings, sessions and programs are non-refundable once delivered — a reading has been produced specifically for you, and a session's time has been reserved for you and cannot be resold at short notice. The exceptions are in sections 4 and 5.
If you decide to stop a coaching program partway through, you may use the sessions you have already paid for within the program period plus 4 weeks, or transfer them to another person by written agreement.
4. WHEN A FULL REFUND IS ALWAYS GIVEN
— A reading or session cannot be delivered by me, and no alternative time or an extended deadline works for you.
— I end a coaching relationship, for any reason — every session paid for and not delivered is refunded in full.
— A payment was taken in error, or taken twice.
— A technical failure on my side (a lost or corrupted video or audio file, a session that cannot be completed) makes delivery impossible and it cannot be re-sent or rescheduled.
These refunds are issued without you having to ask, as soon as the situation is identified.
5. SERIOUS PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
If serious illness, bereavement or a comparable emergency makes it impossible for you to continue a coaching program, write to me. Cases like this are handled individually and in good faith — usually by pausing the program and holding your remaining sessions open, rather than by refunding. This is a discretionary accommodation, not a right.
6. MISSED AND LATE-CANCELLED SESSIONS
— A live coaching session or live reading rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice — free, no charge.
— Cancelled with less notice, or not attended — the session counts as delivered and is not refunded or replaced.
— Repeated late cancellations may end a coaching relationship under section 10 of the Terms.
7. INSTALMENT PLANS
Paying monthly for a coaching program does not change the total commitment or create a right to stop paying partway through a month already begun. If you withdraw within the statutory period, unpaid future instalments are cancelled and the proportionate rule in section 2 applies to what has been paid.
8. CHARGEBACKS
If you believe a payment is wrong, please write to me first. Almost everything is resolved within a few days, and it is faster than a bank dispute. Raising a chargeback without contacting me first does not create any additional right, and I will respond to the payment provider with the booking records and this policy.
9. IF WE CANNOT AGREE
As a consumer you may refer an unresolved dispute, free of charge, to CM2C, the French consumer mediator I subscribe to (articles L.612-1 and following of the French Consumer Code), after first raising it with me in writing. The mediator's details are in the Legal Notice and in the Terms of Service.
10. HOW TO REQUEST A REFUND
1. Email imperiumlingua@gmail.com from the address you booked with.
2. Say which reading, session or program it concerns and the date of purchase.
3. You will get a reply within 5 working days confirming what applies and what happens next.
4. Approved refunds are sent within 14 days to the original payment method. Your bank may take a further few days to show it.
