- Accepted payment methods include credit cards and direct bank transfers. Payments are securely processed by the third-party payments processor Stripe.
Payment Plan Commitments
- By enrolling in a payment plan, you agree to complete all installment payments as outlined during checkout. Payment plans are not subscriptions and therefore cannot be canceled mid-term.

Professional Development Budget
If your company is covering the cost of your course, you have two payment options:
-
Personal Payment with Reimbursement:
- You pay for the course upfront, and your employer reimburses you later.
- Upon payment, you will receive an invoice that you can submit to your employer for reimbursement.
-
Direct Employer Payment:
- Your employer can pay for the course directly via bank transfer.
- Contact me at [email protected] to arrange invoicing and payment details.
Refund Policies
SaaS Savvy’s refund policy is structured to ensure fairness and transparency.
Note on "Access":
For the purposes of this refund policy, "access" means that a user has clicked into a lesson within the course, thereby gaining full visibility of its content. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Reading the lesson text.
- Clicking to play the video version of the lesson.
By accessing a lesson, the user has utilized the core content of the course, which constitutes use of the service under this policy.
Note on "Completion":
- Marking a lesson as "complete" is a user-initiated action that reflects their acknowledgment of finishing the lesson. However, a lesson may also be considered completed if the user watches the video or reads the text without formally marking it as complete.
Refund eligibility is based on the type of course purchased and the timing of your cancellation request.
On-Demand Course
- Eligible for a Full Refund:
- If you cancel within 14 days of purchase and have not accessed or completed any lessons of the course.

Additional Notes
- Refunds will only be processed using the original payment method. Processing times may vary based on your payment provider.
