03

Charged but no access#

If your payment went through but you did not get access to the service, you receive an automatic full refund. If you notice this before we do, email info@research-engage.com with your payment reference and we will confirm the refund.

04

If the mentor or teacher cancels or does not show up#

If a mentor or teacher cancels, or does not show up, you receive an automatic full refund.

For a cohort with several sessions, if one session is cancelled or missed, you receive that session's share of the price. If the mentor or teacher offers a new time and you accept the reschedule, no refund is made for that session because it still takes place.

05

If you cancel#

  • At least 24 hours before the session starts: full refund.
  • Within 24 hours of the session, or after it has started: no refund.

Times are based on the session's scheduled start time, in Pakistan Standard Time.

06

If you are not satisfied#

If a session did not match what was described, or something went wrong, report it to info@research-engage.com or through our complaints process within 7 days of the session ending. Please include your payment reference and what happened.

An admin reviews your report. They will either approve a full or partial refund, or reject the request and tell you the reason.
