If you have chosen to pay on invoice, you have committed to the full purchase price and must pay all required installments in the required period on the due dates.

Payment Plans:

 By enrolling in this program and selecting an installment payment plan, you agree to complete all scheduled payments in full, regardless of whether you choose to continue or withdraw from the program at any point.

This policy ensures the integrity and sustainability of our program offerings, allowing us to continue providing high-quality services and resources to all participants.
