Refunds, Cancellations, and Billing Policy

All physical products (such as books and DVDs) are backed by a thirty (30) day money back guarantee. Non-physical products (such as newsletter subscriptions) have varying money back guarantees depending on the type of subscription, as stipulated below. All other products and services purchased from us and not mentioned explicitly in this section are considered to be non-refundable. Please note that Markets Compass reserves the right to change the refund and cancellation policy at any time.

The guarantee starts from, and includes, the purchase date. The purchase date and time is determined based on Eastern Time in Canada at the time of your purchase. Refund requests or products returned after the refund policy has expired are not subject to a refund and a refund will not be issued. Products returned after the policy has expired will be sent back to the customer at the customer’s expense.

For multi-payment options related to physical products, only the first payment is refundable and only within the first thirty (30) days of the multiple payment term. Subsequent payments are non-refundable but, of course, if you refund within the first thirty (30) days, your card will no longer be billed for subsequent payments.

For any product refund, a refund request must be sent to our office, in writing, in order for a refund to be processed.

For cancellation of your Subscription, or to request a refund, you may:

– Login to our site, accessible from https://marketscompass.com, and submit your request on our Support page for Subscribers, or

– email our Support Team at support@marketscompass.com, or

– send a letter to our mailing address.

You need to ensure that you include ALL your contact information with your request: Full Name, Email associated with your Subscription, and the name of the product, Subscription, or course you wish to have refunded so we can find you in our systems. This is to prevent fraudulent orders.

Refund of a physical product also requires the return of the physical product, to a Canadian or U.S. address that we designate, at your own expense. A full refund requires that the product remains in ‘like new’ condition (suitable for resale) and that the shipment is postmarked by the expiration date of your 30-day guarantee period. Physical product returns, must be accompanied by prior authorization. You must contact our Support team for the required “Return Authorization” before shipping anything to us.

Shipping paid at the time of purchase is not refundable, but any sales taxes collected will be refunded along with the purchase, if authorized. Any foreign exchange differentials incurred in the sales process will not be refunded.

In the case of monthly products (e.g. monthly newsletters) except for future-looking products or services (e.g. market forecasts) or any products or services incorporating future-looking content (e.g. premium newsletters), you have seven (7) days to cancel the subscription to receive a refund for your initial payment. No refunds will be issued for any future-looking products or services in which future-looking information (e.g. market forecasts) was provided for a period that exceeds the subscription term. To cancel your subscription, please contact customer support at support@marketscompass.com. Upon cancellation your card will not be billed again.

In the case of annual products (e.g. annual subscriptions) except for future-looking products or services (e.g. market forecasts) or any products or services incorporating future-looking content (e.g. premium newsletters), you have seven (7) days to cancel the subscription to receive a refund for your payment. Any cancellation request received after seven days will result in a refund of the unused full months. Used months will be subsequently charged as per the regular monthly rate. To cancel your subscription, please contact customer support at support@marketscompass.com. Upon cancellation your card will not be billed again.

Upon acknowledgement of a refund request, please allow 5 to 15 business days for the refund transaction to post to your account. Transaction times depend on the policies of your bank or credit card companies.

Dispute Resolution. Mediation and Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Most Subscriber concerns can be resolved quickly and to the Subscriber’s satisfaction by contacting our customer service department at support@marketscompass.com. In the unlikely event that our customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if Markets Compass has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes first through good faith mediation and then through binding arbitration, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

As such, we agree to submit any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of your use of the Site or your Subscription with Markets Compass to private mediation. In the event that we are unable to reach an amicable resolution to the dispute at the mediation, the dispute, claim or controversy arising under this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Good faith mediation is a pre-requisite to filing any arbitration claim.

Such arbitration shall be administered by and under the rules the Canadian Arbitration Association (“CAA”) in accordance with its then prevailing expedited rules, by one independent and impartial arbitrator selected in accordance with such rules. The arbitration shall be governed by the Ontario Arbitration Act. The fees and expenses of CAA and the arbitrator shall be shared equally by each of us and advanced from time to time as required; provided that at the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall award costs and expenses (including the costs of the arbitration previously advanced and the fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts) to the prevailing party. Arbitration shall be conducted in the greater city of Ottawa, Ontario. In the event it becomes necessary to commence legal proceedings to enforce the terms and condition of your use of the Site or your Subscription with Markets Compass, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorney fees and costs. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any arbitration will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

Limitation on Liability

MARKETS COMPASS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF REVENUE OR INCOME, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, EVEN IF MARKETS COMPASS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF MARKETS COMPASS AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTENT PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND DIRECTORS, TO ANY PARTY (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO MARKETS COMPASS FOR THE APPLICABLE CONTENT, PRODUCT, SUBSCRIPTION, SITE ACCESS, MEMBERSHIP OR SERVICE OUT OF WHICH LIABILITY AROSE.
