Refund Policy
Handy Investor Pty Ltd As a Spending Planner and a member of the Spending Planner’s Institute it is my aim to please, but I realise that no matter how hard I try and no matter how good I believe my product might be there is always the possibility that someone will not be happy with their experience.

There is no refund on the initial consultation or spending plan set up fee.

Payment Methods
Handy Investor accepts payments via credit/debit card and VISA credit/debit cards and EFT.
Subscription Billing
Invoices are generated and payments are collected in the middle of each billing period. Customer billing periods typically begin on the 15th day of the month or when the customer purchased the Handy Investor Pty Ltd Spending Plan subscription. Customers must request to cancel their subscriptions at least 10 days prior to their next billing date in order to avoid being charged on the billing date. In the event of cancellation, customers will still have access to their applications through the end of their final billing period. Handy Investor Pty Ltd will not prorate any portion of unused subscription services. All subscription fees are nonrefundable.
CANCELLATION PROCESS
Creating a Cancellation request: A request to cancel a Handy Investor Pty Ltd application must be initiated at least 10 days prior to the next invoice date. Any request to cancel a Handy Investor Pty Ltd application must be made in writing with a Handy Investor Pty Ltd representative at least 10 days prior to the next invoice date. Customers are encouraged to keep records of all communications regarding cancellation.
Simply cancelling the credit/debit card associated with a Handy Investor Pty Ltd account does not cancel the account. Handy Investor Pty Ltd will continue to treat this as an open account and the billing cycle will continue, resulting in a past due account that may be turned over to a third party collection service. It is imperative that you speak with a Handy Investor Pty Ltd representative or submit an email with receipt confirmation if you wish to initiate cancelation of your Handy Investor Pty Ltd Spending Planner account.
Finalising the Cancellation: After a request to cancel has been initiated, you must speak with a member of the cancellation team to finalise the cancellation. Cancellations will take effect on the last day of the billing period in which the cancellation was processed by the cancellation team, subject to the terms of the “Subscription Billing” paragraph above.
Cancellation of an account does not dismiss outstanding invoices or nullify previously agreed charges, such as payments for Spending Planner Services fees, charged in instalments or 6 month contract charges, portions of which may not yet have been invoiced when you cancelled. At the time of cancellation, any outstanding balance must be settled. All cancelled accounts with an outstanding balance may be turned over to a third-party collection service.
Billing Disputes
Each Handy Investor Pty Ltd customer agrees to provide Handy Investor Pty Ltd 30 days to attempt settlement of any billing dispute before disputing with any third-party credit/debit card company or bank. Should Handy Investor Pty Ltd receive a chargeback from a third-party credit/debit card company or bank on the customer’s behalf before Handy Investor Pty Ltd has been given a chance to resolve the issue, Handy Investor Pty Ltd has the right to charge the customer for its time spent in resolving such disputes and any associated fees incurred by Handy Investor, in addition to the $50 chargeback fee mentioned above. Regardless of the outcome of the chargeback, Handy Investor Pty Ltd retains the right to collect on any Services or fees that are due. Handy Investor Pty Ltd may submit any disputed amounts to a collection agency. Once a chargeback has been received, Handy Investor Pty Ltd has the right to suspend the account until the matter is resolved.
Refunds
Subscription and Service fees, including but not limited to those related to the Spending Planner Service, are nonrefundable and will not be prorated at any time.
TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT
This program has been designed to take you through the process of setting up a Spending Plan that takes the stress out of getting your bills paid on time and having money available each week to cover your household expenses. This should allow you to see where you may have been going wrong in the past and to develop new habits that empower you financially into the future. In order to achieve this, you need to be willing to work with me and be open-minded about the ideas I will be presenting to you. I am really focussed on improving your financial well-being and the very fact that you have enrolled in this program says to me that you are also ready to focus on your “money habits” and to work on getting results.
The following ‘Terms of Engagement’ summarise how we will work together.
I will act in the role of a Coach/ Mentor. I will lead you through the program and will monitor your progress. I will be totally committed to helping you create a Spending Plan that works for you and I’ll then help you adhere to that plan and make any alterations that may be required to ‘fine tune’ it to suit your needs as closely as possible.
Once you have enrolled and accepted these expectations you can be sure of my absolute commitment to your Success with Money and I will be looking for a similar commitment on your part so we complete what we start.
If you have any questions at all along the way you MUST ask me! The biggest block to making changes in your life is having an unanswered question or something you do not understand that is stopping you from moving forward. Send an e-mail and let me know if you need help.
When you email me a question I will endeavour to answer within 24 hours but if this is not possible for some reason I will answer within 2 business days at the latest. I may also refer you to other sources of information such as books or websites in order to help you and to answer your questions.
The program runs for as long as you feel is necessary, but has a minimum commitment of 6 months.
In the first stage of the program there will be some administration and set-up for you to do. You will receive personal responses to your progress. There are a number of scheduled phone calls or meetings to clarify where you are up to and what comes next.
In the second stage, you will receive a weekly e-mail from me requesting that you report your Spending Plan’s account balances to me. You can choose a particular day of the week that suits you to respond to these e-mails but you MUST reply each week.
Your time commitment will vary each week. Once the first stage is over you will find the time commitment reduces significantly and becomes quite regular.
Some of the tasks in the first phase will require a concentrated effort where you really need to focus. Some of the tasks are very simple and will take just a few minutes. Others may require up to an hour of work. None of the tasks is too onerous. Some you may have been avoiding for longer than you care to admit. I will help you get them done!
If you are in a “total mess” financially, please understand that you arrived at this point after a number of years of practicing the wrong habits. You will need to be prepared to put in an appropriate effort to get yourself out of that mess.
By signing a contract with Handy Investor Pty Ltd I agree that I have read and understood and agree to the Rules of engagement.
Your first TASK will arrive just as soon as I receive your first payment and all signed acceptance of the above conditions disclaimers and Sign up forms.
