2.2. The full description, scope, duration and price of each service are stated on the corresponding product page on the Site, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

2.3. The services are informational and consultative in nature. They do not constitute regulated educational, financial, legal, medical or psychological advice. The Company makes no guarantee that the Client will achieve any specific outcome as a result of using the services.


3. Prices and payment

3.1. All prices on the Site are stated in Euro and include any applicable VAT under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017 on Value Added Tax.

3.2. Payment is made in full at the time of purchase via the Stripe payment system. The Company does not collect, store or have access to your full payment card details; these are processed directly by Stripe under its own terms (https://stripe.com/legal).

3.3. The transaction is considered completed once Stripe confirms the successful payment. An electronic invoice is issued by the Company and emailed to the Client after the transaction.


4. Delivery of services

4.1. Personal consultations. The session is scheduled by mutual agreement within 14 days of payment, unless the product page states otherwise. Once scheduled, the time slot is reserved exclusively for the Client. The session is deemed delivered at the moment it is held. If the Client fails to attend, is more than 15 minutes late, or cancels less than 24 hours before the scheduled time, the service is deemed delivered in full.

4.2. PDF guides. The download link is emailed to the Client, or access is opened in the Client’s private member area, within 24 hours of payment. The service is deemed delivered at the moment the link is sent or access is opened.

4.3. Courses. Access to course materials in the private member area and, where applicable, the private Telegram community is granted on the start date stated on the product page, for the duration stated on the product page. The service is deemed delivered at the moment access is opened.

4.4. Workshops. Access to the recorded video is granted via the private member area or by an email link within 24 hours of payment. The service is deemed delivered at the moment access is opened.

4.5. By completing the purchase, the Client expressly consents to immediate delivery of digital content (PDF guides, courses, workshops) and immediate reservation of consultation time slots, and acknowledges that, in accordance with Clause 5 below, no refund will be issued once such delivery or reservation has occurred.


5. Refund policy

This refund policy is given in accordance with UAE Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 on Consumer Protection and its implementing Cabinet Resolution No. 66 of 2023, which permit a no-refund policy for digital services where it is clearly disclosed prior to purchase.

5.1. All services are non-refundable once delivery has occurred or, in the case of personal consultations, once a time slot has been reserved for the Client. The reasons are stated below.

5.2. Personal consultations. Refunds are not provided. The Client may reschedule the session once, free of charge, provided that written notice is given to hello@vladimirnikandrov.com at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. After this single reschedule, no further reschedule or refund is available. If the Client cancels less than 24 hours before the session, fails to attend, or is more than 15 minutes late, the service is deemed delivered in full.

5.3. PDF guides, courses and workshops. Refunds are not provided. Because access to these digital products is opened immediately after payment and the Client expressly consents to such delivery at checkout (Clause 4.5), the right of withdrawal is lost upon delivery. This rule applies including to cases where the Client has not actually used the materials or has lost interest in them.

5.4. The Company will, however, consider a refund on a case-by-case basis where the Client can demonstrate a material failure by the Company to deliver the service in accordance with these Terms. Such requests must be submitted to hello@vladimirnikandrov.com with the subject "Refund request" and must include: full name, the email used for purchase, date of purchase, amount, name of the service and a clear description of the alleged failure. The Company responds within 10 business days.

6.2. The Client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the materials solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. The Client must not: reproduce the materials for distribution, share access to the private member area or Telegram community with third parties, post the materials online, use the materials in their own commercial activities or in services provided to third parties, or build derivative products based on the materials.

8. Personal data

9.2. The Company may terminate the agreement immediately and without refund if the Client breaches Clauses 6 or 10, engages in abusive conduct toward the Company or its other clients, or attempts to charge back a payment without first contacting the Company in accordance with Clause 5.


10. Acceptable use

10.1. The Client must not use the services to engage in any activity that is unlawful in the UAE or in the Client’s country of residence, including but not limited to: harassment of other participants, dissemination of materials that infringe third-party rights, impersonation, attempts to interfere with the technical operation of the Site or the platforms used to deliver the services.


11. Force majeure

11.1. Neither party is liable for failure to perform its obligations to the extent such failure is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, government action, network outages, war or epidemic. If such circumstances continue for more than 60 days, either party may terminate the agreement.
