Orientation & Processing Fee:

Where a Jump Start Orientation Session or any one-on-one coaching sessions have already taken place within the 14-day period, a fee representing the proportionate value of that delivered service will be deducted from your refund. This is consistent with your rights under Angrerettloven §26, which provides that you pay for services already delivered when withdrawing from a service contract.

After 14 Days:

No refund will be issued after 14 days of enrollment. Unused coaching sessions within a package are non-refundable after this period.

Fees paid for the Elite K9 Athlete Certification Practicum are non-refundable once access has been granted.

If you are a consumer purchasing for personal, non-business purposes, you have the statutory right to withdraw from this agreement within 14 days of enrollment without giving any reason, in accordance with the Norwegian Right of Withdrawal Act (Angrerettloven).

To exercise your right of withdrawal, please send a clear written statement to support@nordicfitk9.com before the 14-day period expires. A standard withdrawal form is available upon request, though any clear written statement is sufficient.

Where program access has been granted and services such as the Orientation Session have commenced within the 14-day period, your refund will be proportionate to the unused portion of the program, in accordance with Angrerettloven §26. We will process any applicable refund within 14 days of receiving your withdrawal notification, using the same payment method as your original transaction.
