Order Confirmation Contract Formation
Upon successful payment you will receive an order confirmation email containing details of the purchased course access. A binding contract is formed only when this confirmation is sent. Until that point no contract exists and glitzary may decline the order for any reason including suspected fraud or stock issues with digital licences. Course access credentials or links are provided within the confirmation email or via your account dashboard shortly after confirmation.
Cancellation Rights and Applicable Periods
Under UK consumer law you have the right to cancel within 14 days of the contract formation without providing a reason. This cooling-off period applies to most course purchases. However cancellation rights are affected for digital content as detailed in later sections. To exercise cancellation you must notify us before the 14-day period expires. Any promotional or discounted offers remain subject to the same cancellation window unless the offer terms specify otherwise.
Refund Eligibility Exclusions and Non-Refundable Items
Refunds are available within the cancellation period provided you have not commenced accessing the digital course content. Once you begin streaming or downloading materials the right to a full refund may be lost. Non-refundable items include completed course modules promotional bundles and any services already partially delivered. Refunds will not be granted for change of mind after substantial access or for failure to meet personal expectations regarding course difficulty. Exclusions also apply where access has been granted for more than a minimal period before cancellation is requested.

In cases of failed payments you will be contacted to arrange alternative payment. Duplicate charges will be investigated and refunded automatically where verified.

Customers involved in fraud will forfeit all access and refund rights.
