3. Refund Policy
3.1 No Refunds for Change of Mind
All purchases of digital products and subscription services are final, and we do not provide refunds or credits for change of mind, unused portions of a subscription period, or failure to cancel prior to renewal.

In accordance with Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you may be entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement only if the digital product or subscription service:

If you believe your purchase falls under these conditions, you must notify us in writing at info@corporatelegal.com.au within seven (7) days of identifying the issue, providing sufficient details and evidence of the problem.
3.3 Subscription Access & Usage
If you have already accessed or used any part of the digital product or service, you may not be eligible for a refund, as you have already received the benefit of the subscription.
