Purchases, Refunds, Cancellations & Membership Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This policy applies to eligible purchases made through the Institute of Child Psychology Ltd. (“ICP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), including professional courses, live trainings, workshops, memberships, webinars, events, and related educational products. Because ICP offers several types of programs, refund and cancellation terms may vary depending on the product purchased. Participants should review the applicable product or registration page and this policy before completing a purchase.

1 Digital Courses and Educational Products

1.1 Pre-Recorded and On-Demand Courses

Unless otherwise expressly stated on the applicable product page, purchases of individual pre-recorded or on-demand courses are final sale and non-refundable. Because purchasers generally receive immediate access to digital course content and educational materials, refunds are not provided once a course has been purchased.

ICP encourages purchasers to review the following before completing a purchase:

  • Course description and learning objectives.
  • Intended audience.
  • Continuing education information.
  • Instructor information.
  • Course format and access period, where applicable.
  • Technical requirements.

1.2 Course Bundles

Where multiple courses or products are sold together as a bundle, the bundle is considered a single purchase. Unless otherwise stated, bundled digital products are final sale and non-refundable. Individual components of a bundle cannot ordinarily be returned separately.

1.3 Promotional Pricing, Discounts and Sales

Discounts, promotional offers, coupon codes, bundles, and sale pricing may be subject to additional terms. Unless otherwise expressly stated, promotional purchases remain subject to the refund rules for the underlying product. Discounts cannot ordinarily be applied retroactively, promotional offers cannot generally be combined unless expressly permitted, and expired promotions will not be reinstated.

2 Memberships and Subscriptions

2.1 Membership Subscription Terms

ICP may offer monthly, annual, or other recurring membership or subscription programs. Membership charges are billed according to the billing cycle selected at enrollment.

Recurring membership charges are processed according to the monthly, quarterly, annual, or other billing schedule shown at enrollment, subject to changes disclosed to the member.

Discounts or special offers may apply only to the initial purchased term; subsequent renewals may occur at the then-current subscription rate unless otherwise stated.

ICP may suspend or terminate access where a recurring payment cannot be processed because payment information is inaccurate, expired, or otherwise unavailable.

Access is effective only while required subscription fees are paid.

Membership and subscription payments are non-refundable once processed unless otherwise expressly stated or required by law.

Cancelling a membership prevents future renewals and does not generate a refund for a billing period that has already begun, unless otherwise expressly stated or required by law.

Access following cancellation varies based on the subscription type and purchase platform, as set out in Section 2.2.

Subscribers are responsible for tracking their renewal dates. ICP may send renewal reminders as a courtesy but does not guarantee reminder delivery.

Subscription upgrade options are not available. Previous membership payments cannot be applied as credit toward a new subscription. Refunds are subject to this policy and applicable law.

A free trial may be used only once per user, including when the same user creates duplicate email accounts. A second subscription by the same user will be billed at the full applicable amount without another free trial and does not qualify for a refund unless otherwise expressly stated or required by law.

Cancellation is irrevocable. Rejoining requires a new membership and payment of the applicable fee.

2.2 Cancelling a Membership

Cancellation procedures depend on where the membership was purchased.

Members must complete the cancellation process applicable to their purchase platform before the next scheduled billing date.

2.2.1 General Membership Purchased on the ICP Website

  • For general memberships purchased on instituteofchildpsychology.com, cancellation must be completed through the member account unless ICP expressly provides another cancellation method.
  • To cancel, log into your account at https://instituteofchildpsychology.com/log-in, navigate to the membership area, and follow the cancellation instructions shown there.
  • An email request alone does not cancel a general membership purchased through the main website unless ICP confirms otherwise.
  • Monthly Users: Access ends immediately upon cancellation. Annual Users Within a Free Trial: Access ends immediately upon cancellation during the trial. Annual Users After Payment Has Processed: Access remains available through the end of the paid annual billing period, measured from the applicable annual payment date.

2.2.2 Membership Purchased Through the Community Platform or App

  • Memberships purchased through community.instituteofchildpsychology.com are administered by the third-party platform Mighty Networks Inc.
  • Members should cancel through their community account or, for an Apple in-app purchase, through Apple according to Apple’s subscription-management process.
  • Access ordinarily remains available through the end of the paid subscription period unless the applicable platform terms state otherwise.

2.2.3 Professional Membership

  • Professional subscriptions billed at USD $997 annually or USD $299.22 quarterly must be cancelled by emailing support@instituteofchildpsychology.com before the next scheduled billing date. The billing schedule and price applicable to your membership are those disclosed at enrollment, subject to any changes disclosed to you.
  • Once professional membership cancellation is processed by administration, access to the platform ends automatically.
  • Participants remain responsible for charges processed before a cancellation request becomes effective.
  • Cancellations or cancellation requests made after renewal are not eligible for a refund unless otherwise expressly stated or required by law.

3 Live Trainings, Workshops and Events

3.1 Live Online Trainings and Workshops

Cancellation terms for live online professional trainings may vary depending on the program. The applicable product or registration page will identify the cancellation deadline, refund eligibility, administrative or processing fees, and transfer options for that program.

  • Requests to cancel must be submitted in the manner stated on the applicable registration page.
  • Refund eligibility is determined according to the cancellation terms published for the specific program.
  • Participants who do not attend and do not cancel within the permitted timeframe are not entitled to a refund.
  • Where permitted, registration may be transferred to another eligible participant subject to applicable deadlines and continuing education requirements.

3.2 In-Person Trainings and Events

In-person trainings may involve non-refundable venue, travel, catering, presenter, and administrative expenses. For this reason, cancellation terms for in-person programs may differ from those for online programs.

The applicable event or registration page will identify:

  • Cancellation deadlines.
  • Refund eligibility.
  • Administrative or processing fees.
  • Transfer or substitution options.
  • Any non-refundable portion of the registration fee.

Where a participant is unable to attend, ICP may permit transfer of the registration to another eligible participant, subject to applicable accreditation, registration, and program requirements.

3.3 Transfers and Participant Substitutions

Where permitted, participants may request that their registration be transferred to another person. Transfer requests may be subject to program eligibility requirements, continuing education rules, certificate requirements, administrative deadlines, and processing limitations. ICP may decline a transfer where it would conflict with accreditation, licensing, attendance, or program-administration requirements.

3.4 Programs Cancelled by ICP

If ICP cancels a paid live program and does not provide a suitable rescheduled option, registered participants will ordinarily receive a refund of the applicable registration fee.

Unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise, ICP is not responsible for indirect or incidental costs associated with attending an event, including travel, accommodation, meals, lost income, childcare, transportation, or similar expenses. Participants attending in-person events are encouraged to purchase refundable travel arrangements or appropriate travel insurance where applicable.

3.5 Program Changes and Rescheduling

ICP may occasionally need to modify program dates, times, instructors, presenters, format, location, or delivery platform. Where a material change occurs, ICP will make reasonable efforts to notify registered participants. A change of instructor, schedule, delivery platform, or comparable administrative detail does not automatically create entitlement to a refund unless otherwise stated in the applicable program terms.

4 Continuing Education and Certificates

4.1 Completion Requirements

Purchasing a course or registering for a program does not automatically guarantee the awarding of continuing education credit or a certificate. Participants must satisfy any stated completion requirements, which may include:

  • Attendance or minimum participation requirements.
  • Viewing required course content.
  • Completion of quizzes or assessments.
  • Submission of assignments where applicable.
  • Completion of program evaluations.
  • Compliance with professional or accreditation requirements.

Refunds will not ordinarily be issued because a participant did not complete required components or did not meet the requirements for a certificate or continuing education credit.

Participants are responsible for retaining copies of certificates issued to them. This does not replace ICP’s obligation to maintain records required by applicable accreditation requirements.

4.2 Professional Licensing and Continuing Education Acceptance

ICP may provide information regarding continuing education approvals, accreditation, or recognition associated with a particular program. Individual licensing bodies, professional associations, employers, and regulatory organizations determine whether a specific program is acceptable toward their requirements.

Participants are responsible for confirming applicable requirements with their licensing or regulatory organization where necessary. A licensing body’s decision not to accept a course does not automatically create entitlement to a refund unless ICP made a materially inaccurate representation regarding that course.

5 Billing, Access and Administrative Matters

5.1 Duplicate Purchases and Billing Errors

If you believe you were charged more than once for the same purchase or that a billing error occurred, contact ICP as soon as possible. Confirmed duplicate or erroneous transactions will be corrected or refunded.

5.2 Technical Access Issues

Participants experiencing difficulty accessing a purchased digital course should contact ICP for technical support. Technical difficulties do not automatically entitle a purchaser to a refund where ICP can reasonably restore access or provide an alternative means of accessing the purchased content.

5.3 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Participants are encouraged to contact ICP before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback so that ICP has an opportunity to review and resolve legitimate billing concerns. Fraudulent or improper chargebacks may result in suspension of access to ICP products or services while the matter is investigated.

5.4 Taxes and Currency

The currency applicable to a purchase will be displayed at checkout. Applicable taxes are added as required by law. Financial institutions or payment platforms may apply currency-conversion or other transaction fees, which are outside ICP’s control and are the purchaser’s responsibility.

5.5 Exceptions

ICP may consider exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Any discretionary exception does not modify this policy or create an obligation to provide the same exception in another situation.

Participant complaints, grievances, or disputes may be submitted to support@instituteofchildpsychology.com and are reviewed under the Participant Complaints Grievances and Disputes section of ICP’s Terms of Agreement.
