We want our products and services to feel clear and fair for both sides – you and us. This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how refunds, cancellations and changes are handled when you buy from Kilnbyte Ltd ("Kilnbyte", "we", "us", or "our").
This policy should be read alongside our Terms of Sale, Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. If there is any conflict, the specific terms shown on a product page, invoice, or in a written agreement with you will apply first.
Kilnbyte Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales
Company number: 16855076
If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at info@kilnbyte.com
1. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to purchases of:
- Digital Products – kits, playbooks, templates, checklists, guides, and similar downloadable or online resources
- Workshops – live or recorded sessions, whether 1:1, small group, or larger events
- Services – done-with-you operations support, consulting, implementation sprints and similar services
Together, we call these "Products".
This policy applies whether you buy as an individual or as a business.
2. General refund principles
We try to balance:
- Being fair and reasonable to you as a customer; and
- Recognising that our work is mostly digital, intellectual and time-based, which can't always be "returned" once delivered
In summary:
- We generally do not offer refunds on Digital Products once access or download has been provided
- For Workshops and Services, refunds and changes depend on timing and circumstances
- We will always review genuine issues on a case-by-case basis and aim to be reasonable
Nothing in this policy is intended to remove or limit any statutory rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
3. Digital Products (kits, templates, playbooks, resources)
3.1 Standard position – no automatic refunds after access
Because Digital Products are delivered digitally and can be copied or stored:
Once you have been given access (for example, by download link, email, or portal access), we do not normally offer refunds.
This is because we cannot "take back" knowledge or materials once they have been delivered.
Please read the Product description carefully before purchasing and contact us with any questions if you're unsure.
3.2 When we may consider a refund or credit
We may, at our discretion, offer a refund, partial refund or credit in situations such as:
- Technical issues on our side that prevent you from accessing the Product and which we cannot reasonably fix within a fair timeframe
- The Product being materially different from its description (for example, core elements are missing or misdescribed)
In such cases, we may:
- Offer to fix the issue
- Provide an updated or corrected version
- Offer a partial or full refund
- Offer a credit towards another Product
What we offer will depend on the specific situation.
3.3 Non-refundable elements
The following are normally non-refundable:
- Change of mind after access is provided
- "I don't have time to use it"
- "I decided to use a different approach instead"
- Lack of results where the Product has been provided as described (results depend on your implementation and context)
4. Workshops (live and recorded)
4.1 If we cancel or reschedule
If we need to cancel a Workshop, we will:
- Offer a new date or suitable alternative; or
- Offer a refund or credit if a suitable alternative isn't possible
If we need to reschedule (for example, due to illness, technical issues or other unforeseen events):
- We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible; and
- Your booking will transfer to the new date/time, or we may offer credit/alternative access where appropriate
4.2 If you can no longer attend
If you can no longer attend a Workshop you've booked, please email info@kilnbyte.com as soon as you know.
Unless the specific Workshop page or confirmation email sets out different rules, we'll generally use these guidelines:
More than 7 days before the Workshop:
We may allow a transfer to a future date (if the Workshop runs again) or offer a credit towards another Product.
7 days or less before the Workshop, or after it has already started:
We may not be able to offer a refund, as your place has been reserved and preparations made, but we will consider options such as:
- Providing access to a recording (if one is available and included), or
- Offering partial credit at our discretion
Where the Workshop terms on your checkout page or confirmation email set a different notice period or rule, those specific terms will apply.
4.3 Recordings
If Workshop access includes a recording:
- Access will be provided for the duration stated on the Product page or in your confirmation
- Once the recording access is provided, it is treated as a Digital Product and is normally non-refundable
5. Services (done-with-you operations, consulting, implementation)
5.1 Booking and rescheduling
For Services such as done-with-you operations, consulting or implementation work:
- We will agree a scope, structure and schedule with you (for example, via a written proposal or clear email)
- Sessions are often booked in advance and may require preparation work on our side
If you need to reschedule:
- Please contact us as early as possible
- Where we can, we'll work with you to find a new time
If a session is missed or cancelled with very short notice (for example, same day), we may:
- Treat the session as used; or
- Charge a fee for rebooking
depending on the agreement and the amount of preparation involved.
5.2 Cancellation of a service package
If you wish to cancel a Service package entirely (for example, a multi-week implementation), please contact us to discuss:
- How much work has already been delivered
- What preparation has already been completed
- Any minimum commitment agreed in writing
We will aim to find a fair solution, which may include:
- A partial refund
- A reduced final balance
- Credit towards other Products
There is no automatic right to a full refund once work has started, especially where significant time, preparation or delivery has already taken place.
5.3 Our right to cancel
We reserve the right to cancel or terminate Services if:
- You repeatedly miss or cancel sessions without reasonable notice
- You do not provide the information or cooperation reasonably needed to deliver the work; or
- We reasonably believe the working relationship is no longer appropriate or constructive
Where we cancel for our own reasons (not due to your breach), we will:
- Provide a pro-rated refund or credit for any prepaid Services not yet delivered
Where we cancel due to your serious breach (for example, abuse, harassment, or misuse of our materials), we may:
- Withhold refunds for Services already paid, to the extent allowed by law
6. Cooling-off rights (UK / EU consumers)
If you are a consumer (not a business) in the UK or EU, you may have certain cooling-off rights under consumer law for distance purchases.
However, these rights are limited for digital content and services that start quickly.
6.1 Digital Products
For digital content that is delivered immediately (or within a short time) after purchase:
When you buy, you may be asked to confirm that:
- You want access to start during the cooling-off period; and
- You understand that you will lose your right to cancel once download or access begins
If you give this consent, you will not usually have a statutory right to cancel after access has been provided.
6.2 Services and Workshops
For Services and Workshops:
If you request that we begin work or hold sessions during the cooling-off period, you may still have a right to cancel, but we may:
- Deduct a reasonable amount to cover work already performed before your cancellation; or
- Charge for sessions you've already attended or that were prepared/delivered
We will always apply consumer rights as required by law. If you are unsure about your position, please contact us.
7. How to request a refund or raise an issue
If you believe you may be entitled to a refund, or if there is an issue with a Product, please contact us as soon as possible at:
Email: info@kilnbyte.com
Include:
- Your full name
- The email address used to place the order
- The Product you purchased
- Date of purchase and any order reference or receipt
- A short description of the issue
We will:
- Acknowledge your message
- Review the situation (and may ask for more information); and
- Let you know what we can offer – for example, a fix, replacement, credit or refund in line with this policy and our Terms of Sale
8. Chargebacks and disputes
We understand that problems can arise. However, we ask that you:
Contact us first if you believe there is an error or you're unhappy with a Product, before starting a chargeback or dispute with your bank or card provider.
If you do initiate a chargeback:
- We may need to share information about your order, communications and usage records with our payment processor to respond to the dispute; and
- We reserve the right to suspend or revoke access to the relevant Product while the dispute is being investigated
We aim to resolve any issues fairly and professionally and appreciate the opportunity to do so directly.
9. Non-refundable items – summary
To keep everything transparent, here is a summary of what is generally non-refundable:
- Digital Products once access or download has been provided, except in rare cases of technical failure or misdescription
- Missed or partially attended Workshops where we were ready to deliver and no prior notice was given, unless otherwise stated in the Workshop terms
- Services already delivered or significantly prepared, especially where sessions were missed or cancelled late, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing
We will always consider genuine exceptional circumstances and remain open to discussion.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Refund & Cancellation Policy from time to time, for example:
- To reflect changes in our Products or business model
- To reflect changes in the law or guidance
- To clarify how particular situations are handled
When we make changes, we will:
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page; and
- Take reasonable steps to draw your attention to significant changes (for example, via a notice on our website)
The version of this policy that applies to your purchase will generally be the one in force at the time you placed your order, unless a change is required by law.
