The refund shall not include or take into account any travel expenses incurred for either course.

There are absolutely no refunds for any product or service unless these terms and conditions are precisely followed. As Empire incurs costs associated with each registration, there are NO refunds for “mind changing ”(deciding you no longer want to attend the program), no shows, cancellations prior to the event, or if the participant completes the training in full, receives their certification, and voices their complaint after the program has completed, or any time thereafter using the education and training received.

1-Year Membership Add-On Extension: With the 1-year add-on extension, you can extend your membership by an extra 12 months beyond the original 1-Year Membership term. This extension allows you to complete any incomplete courses included in your Empire Membership plan. Please note that the 1-year membership extension is not equivalent to the Empire Membership levels (e.g., Empire Platinum Membership, Empire Diamond Membership, Empire Dental ‘D’ Membership, and Empire Blue-Diamond Membership). In the event of a refund request that is approved for any reason, Empire will issue a refund for the 1-Year Membership Add-On Extension only.

Industry standard is to provide no refund, period if a student is unable to attend. Typically, tuition fees may be transferred to another seminar date, or to another individual, however, no refund will be issued. Although we guarantee and believe in the quality of our services, we strongly encourage you to be certain of your decision to register prior to doing so.
