Return & Refund Policy
Guardian Clinical Essentials, LLC
Effective Date: July 1, 2025
At Guardian Clinical Essentials, LLC (“GCE”), all products are digital intellectual property tools designed to support licensed mental health professionals. Because our materials are customized, licensed, and delivered electronically, we maintain a strict no-refund policy to protect the value, originality, and legal structure of our work.
Customized Intellectual Property
Each order is:
- Tailored with your practice or business name as part of the licensed watermark
- Delivered in Microsoft Word (.docx) format for ease of editing
- Licensed for internal use only, according to your purchase tier and license terms
- Delivered via email within 3–5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays)
Once customization is complete, your document becomes a non-returnable, non-reversible licensed product.
Digital Delivery Timeline
Orders are fulfilled manually in the order received. Files are emailed within 3–5 business days. If additional information is required to complete your order (e.g., business name clarification), the delivery timeline may reset based on when all required information is received.
If you do not receive your files within 5 business days, please check your spam folder first, then contact us at [email protected].
Non-Refundable & Non-Returnable
Due to the nature of digital intellectual property:
- No refunds, returns, or exchanges are permitted once an order is placed
- Files are considered delivered once emailed to the address provided at checkout
- Licensing, branding, and watermarking are integral parts of the service
By purchasing, you acknowledge that you are receiving proprietary licensed content that cannot be returned or revoked once delivered.
Order Changes or Errors
If you submitted your business name incorrectly or need a file correction:
- One courtesy revision will be provided for typos, file errors, or formatting glitches
- Additional edits or re-customization may incur an administrative fee
- Issues must be reported within 3 calendar days of delivery
License & Use Terms
All products are licensed, not sold. Your purchase grants:
- A single-use internal license for your practice (unless otherwise noted)
- Prohibited use includes reselling, redistributing, sharing with colleagues, or uploading to shared/public file platforms
Violations may result in revoked access, legal enforcement, and remedies under copyright law, including recovery of damages and attorney’s fees.
No Chargebacks
By placing an order, you waive the right to dispute charges or request chargebacks through your payment provider once files have been delivered to the email address you provided.
Cross-Reference to Terms of Use
This policy must be read in conjunction with our Terms of Use, which govern intellectual property, licensing restrictions, and user responsibilities.
Severability
If any part of this policy is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
