Automatic Renewal
Unless canceled in accordance with this Agreement, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly, annually, or as otherwise selected during enrollment). By enrolling in a subscription, you authorize World Wide K9 Academy to automatically charge your designated payment method for all recurring subscription fees until your subscription is canceled.
Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting World Wide K9 Academy in writing before your next scheduled billing date. Cancellation prevents future recurring charges only and does not entitle you to a refund, credit, or partial refund for any current billing period. Unless otherwise stated, you will retain access to your membership benefits through the end of the billing period for which payment has already been received.
Failed or Declined Payments
If any recurring payment is declined, reversed, or otherwise cannot be processed, World Wide K9 Academy may suspend or terminate your access to membership content until payment has been successfully received. We reserve the right to retry failed payment methods in accordance with our payment processor's policies.
Membership Benefits
Subscription memberships may include access to online courses, educational videos, downloadable materials, exclusive resources, live coaching sessions, community features, monthly challenges, future course updates, and other member benefits. World Wide K9 Academy reserves the right to modify, expand, replace, or discontinue membership benefits at any time in its sole discretion.
Subscription Pricing
World Wide K9 Academy reserves the right to modify subscription pricing, billing frequency, or membership offerings at any time. Any pricing changes will apply only to future billing periods after reasonable notice has been provided.
Termination
World Wide K9 Academy reserves the right to suspend or terminate any subscription or membership without notice if a member violates this Agreement, engages in fraudulent or abusive conduct, infringes upon intellectual property rights, disrupts the community, harasses staff or other members, or otherwise acts in a manner detrimental to the Company or its members. Such termination shall not entitle the member to any refund except where required by applicable law.
Service Availability
World Wide K9 Academy will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide uninterrupted access to its membership platform and services. However, we do not guarantee continuous availability of the website, online classroom, community features, live coaching sessions, digital content, or other membership services. Temporary interruptions may occur due to maintenance, software updates, technical issues, internet outages, third-party service interruptions, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
11.Refund Policy
Due to the nature of our services and the immediate access provided to proprietary educational content, training materials, coaching resources, and online classroom access, all sales are final, except for the limited 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee applicable to the $5 Intro Course as set forth in Section 11.1 below.

- Course enrollments
- Training programs
- Memberships
- Coaching services
- Online classroom access
- Subscription payments
- Training materials
- Any other products or services
For subscription memberships, cancellation prevents future recurring charges only. Subscription fees already charged are non-refundable, and no refunds, credits, or prorated reimbursements will be issued for any unused portion of the current billing period except where required by applicable law. Customers are solely responsible for canceling their subscription before the next renewal date if they do not wish to continue their membership.
You waive any right to request a refund due to dissatisfaction, lack of participation, scheduling conflicts, personal circumstances, perceived lack of results, or any other reason.
Exceptions may only be made where required by applicable law or as expressly stated in Section 11.1.
11.1. 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee (Intro Course Only)
Notwithstanding the general policy stated in Section 11, and as the sole exception to it, the $5 Intro Course is subject to the following limited money-back guarantee.
Products covered. This money-back guarantee applies solely to the $5 Intro Course (the "Intro Course"). It does not apply to any other product, course, bundle, or service offered by World Wide K9 Academy, including without limitation Obedience 1, Obedience 2, Obedience 3, the Complete Bundle, in-person training, and any coaching or consultation. All other purchases are final and non-refundable except where a refund is required by law.
How to request a refund. If the Intro Course is not right for you, email worldwidek9academy@gmail.com within thirty (30) days of your purchase and ask for a refund. No forms, no video, and no explanation are required.
What is not guaranteed. This is a satisfaction guarantee on your purchase, not a guarantee of any training result. We make no guarantee regarding your dog's behavior, the resolution of any specific problem, the speed of any results, or the suitability of the course for any particular dog, owner, breed, age, or situation. Training outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including consistency, environment, and individual differences between animals.
Refund amount and processing. Refunds are limited to the amount actually paid for the Intro Course and are issued to the original payment method. Upon issuing a refund, we may revoke your access to the Intro Course and its materials. This guarantee may be used only once per customer.
Fair use. We reserve the right to decline any refund request that we reasonably determine to be fraudulent, abusive, or made in bad faith.
