Our Customer Satisfaction Promise
If you decide that an Online-PDH purchase is not right for you, email us to request a full refund. You do not need to provide a reason, and there is no complicated request form.
Request a RefundAfter a course or plan purchase is fully refunded, you must not use its certificate(s) or claim its professional development hours as paid continuing education. If you already reported the course to a licensing board, contact that board promptly and follow its instructions for correcting or replacing the credit.
How It Works
Write to cadistics@yahoo.com and state that you would like a refund. A reason is not required, though would help us understand how to make improvements.
Include your name (as used with the Stripe purchase), account email, and the order information so we can identify the correct transaction.
We initiate the approved refund to the original payment method and email confirmation when it has been submitted.
Processing and Bank Timing
We will review and initiate an approved refund as promptly as reasonably possible. Once submitted, the refund must travel through Stripe, the card network, and your bank or card issuer. Stripe advises that customers typically see a card refund approximately 5–10 business days after it is initiated, although the timing is controlled by the financial institution.
Refunds are returned to the original payment method. In some cases, a very recent refund may appear as a reversal, meaning the original charge disappears instead of appearing as a separate credit.
Continuing Education Credit
A refund returns the course purchase price and ends your ability to rely on that refunded purchase as paid continuing education through Online-PDH. If payment is refunded in full, courses taken under that refunded plan can no longer be submitted as CE.
Do not submit the certificate or claim the associated PDH after the refund. If needed, complete replacement coursework within your licensing jurisdiction’s renewal period.
Contact your licensing board and follow its instructions. Only the board of licensure can determine how an amendment, replacement course, or other action is to be properly implemented.
Common Questions
No. A short request is sufficient. Constructive feedback is appreciated because it can help us improve, but providing feedback is completely optional.
We will refund the duplicate transaction. Refunding a true duplicate does not affect the original paid purchase or the certificate associated with that retained purchase.
Audit Assistance is not available for a fully refunded course purchase because that transaction no longer supports a paid Online-PDH completion. This does not apply when only an accidental duplicate transaction is refunded and the original purchase remains paid.
Please email Online-PDH first. A direct request allows us to investigate and initiate a refund without beginning a formal payment dispute. Contacting your bank remains an available consumer option, but a dispute follows the card issuer’s separate process and may take considerably longer to resolve. Also when a dispute is initiated, it affects our reputation with the payment service, goes into a dispute resolution arbitration process which can take up to 60 days, and then we are charged an unfair fee. Please allow us to issue the refund from our end!! It is quicker and easier, and does not affect our standing with the payment service.
No. Licensing requirements and audit decisions belong to each jurisdiction. This policy explains Online-PDH’s treatment of a refunded purchase; it does not provide legal advice or decide what a licensing board will accept. Please be aware, that to knowingly submit CE credits without payment could be construed as an ethics violation should you face random audit. Proof of payment is often required in CE audits.
Retain the refund confirmation with your records. If the credit was previously reported, also retain any correspondence or correction instructions received from your licensing board, and with us here at Online-PDH. This is why we only correspond using email; so that both parties are able to retain full written documentation of all interactions between Online-PDH and the customer.
