Sales Policies
All sales, including those for our bundled services of training programs and advanced group mentoring sessions, are final and non-refundable. By purchasing these services, users acknowledge that they are obtaining access to digital media and future-scheduled events that, once permitted by the user, are not returnable, exchangeable, or guaranteed.
Upon purchasing a bundle, access to any of its included materials, such as training programs, NADRO, intensive materials, or enrollment in our advanced group mentoring classes, signifies acceptance of this policy. Regardless of the level of interaction with these resources, the purchase is deemed to be complete and non-refundable.
Membership Fees and Renewals
Membership fees, once paid, are non-refundable and must be terminated at least eight days before the next renewal date. Any cancellations made less than eight days before the renewal date will apply to the next billing cycle.
Advanced Group Mentoring Policy
Our advanced group mentoring program requires a substantial amount of preparation, coordination, and dedicated resources. As such, we enforce a strict no-refund policy for these sessions. By signing up for advanced group mentoring, users acknowledge their understanding of this policy.
Cancellation of a membership or bundle does not entitle users to a refund for any unused advanced group mentoring sessions. Refunds will not be issued for any circumstances including, but not limited to, scheduling conflicts, change of plans, dissatisfaction with the mentoring, or inability to attend.
Refund and Cancellation Policies
The content, membership services, training programs, and mentoring sessions we provide exist in a digital media format and future-scheduled events. Consequently, the fees, membership charges, and purchases are non-refundable.
In the event of a cancellation, the user must notify us at least eight days before the next renewal date. No refunds will be given for cancellations made less than eight days before the renewal date. Our policy maintains that no refund will be given under any circumstances once a user has purchased a bundle and gained access to any of the provided resources.
We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice. By continuing to use our services, you agree to abide by the revised terms and conditions.
Refund of Tryout Fees
Purpose and Scope: This section outlines Apteros Trading's policy with respect to the refund of tryout fees paid by traders who successfully complete the tryout and are onboarded to the proprietary trading desk.
Eligibility for Refund: A trader shall be eligible for a refund of the tryout fees only for the specific subscription period that directly led to the successful completion of the tryout and subsequent onboarding onto the proprietary trading desk.
2.1 For clarity, if a trader has participated in multiple tryout sessions over different subscription periods, including instances where they canceled their tryout and then restarted, only the fees paid for the subscription period in which they successfully completed the tryout will be eligible for refund. Fees from previous or subsequent subscription periods, including those where the tryout was canceled and restarted, will not be eligible for refund.
2.2 Only subscription fees are subject to refund under this policy. Other fees, such as resets or additional charges, are expressly excluded from this refund policy.
Refund Procedure: The eligible tryout fees shall be refunded to the trader upon the first successful payout after their onboarding onto the proprietary trading desk. No subsequent payouts will include a refund of the tryout fees.
3.1 The refund will be made using the original method of payment used by the trader unless otherwise agreed upon.
Exceptions and Limitations: This refund policy applies exclusively to tryout fees. Any other fees, costs, or charges incurred by the trader during the tryout period are expressly excluded from this refund policy.
Amendments: Apteros Trading reserves the right to amend, modify, or revoke this refund policy at any time without prior notice. However, any such amendments will not affect traders already onboarded onto the proprietary trading desk at the time of such amendment.
Acknowledgment of Inherent Risk in Trading
By purchasing our services, including but not limited to our bundled services, training programs, NADRO, intensive materials, or advanced group mentoring sessions, the user acknowledges that trading is inherently risky. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and the user's control, can impact the outcomes of trades.
These factors can lead to losses, even significant ones. Despite this, our policy remains firm: all purchases are final and non-refundable. While we understand the impulse to request a refund in the face of such losses, we stand by our services and materials, which are designed to help users navigate the world of trading with more knowledge and expertise.
We strongly advise all users to only invest resources that they can afford to lose. Further, we encourage users to fully understand the terms and conditions of our services before making a purchase. In no circumstance will we provide a refund due to dissatisfaction with trading outcomes.
Our services aim to equip users with the knowledge, tools, and skills necessary to navigate the trading landscape, but they do not, and cannot, guarantee profitable outcomes. Users should enter into trading, and by extension, the purchase of our services, with a clear understanding of this. By purchasing our services, users are acknowledging their understanding and acceptance of these risks and of our no-refund policy.
