Frequently Asked Questions


Can I get a refund if I'm unhappy with my purchase?

Yes, 100%

However, there is a catch. You must provide a working drawing where you used the terrain tools and prove you are not efficient with the terrain tools. If it is deemed you are not efficient with the terrain tools there will be no refund. If the design shows that you are proficient and will gain nothing from the course, you will get a refund. Your drawing must be submitted before purchasing the course. If you send it after purchasing the course you will not be eligible for a refund.
