Terms and Conditions

Currency and Payment Methods

All prices are stated in U.S. Dollars. 

We accept several methods of payment to accommodate your needs. The istet.co website (the “Site”) accepts, among other forms of payment, American Express, Visa, and MasterCard for qualifying events. 

Account, Order, and Billing Information Verification

All information on accounts and orders must be valid and are subject to verification. Orders that are placed, or attempted to be placed, using an account in which any information entered is found to be false, misleading, incorrect, or incomplete, or that cannot be verified as belonging to the account holder, are subject to cancellation at any time. Orders are subject to credit card approval and processed only after the billing address associated with your credit card and other billing information have been verified.

Service Fees and Order Processing Fees

Courses and/or event tickets purchased on the Site are typically subject to a per transaction service fee and a per order processing fee.

Order Confirmation

If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm whether or not your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.

You agree to comply with all applicable rules, policies, terms, and conditions. We reserve the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject, any person whose conduct management deems disorderly, who uses vulgar or abusive language, or who fails to comply with Istet Games' Rules. Breach of terms or rules will terminate your license to attend the Istet Games event or course without refund. A ticket or course registration is a revocable license and admission may be refused upon refunding the face amount paid at registration. The registration fee is not redeemable for cash.

Before purchasing course packages or event tickets, carefully review all details. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] before making a purchase. 

Our Refund and Exchange policies are subject to the following terms: 

• All requests to refund or exchange the purchased training course with another course or another training session must be made via email to [email protected] within 15 days from when the original purchase was made.
• If you have are not satisfied with your course experience and have attended 90% of all classes and coursework, you can request to repeat the course free of charge. If after repeating the experience at the same level of attendance and completion, you are still not satisfied, you can request a refund via email within 15 days of course-end and your refund request will be processed.
• No course exchanges will be granted if the request is received to [email protected] more than 15 days after the original purchase date. No refund requests will be granted, even if all conditions have been met, if the request is received more than 15 days after the repeated course has concluded.
• Only one exchange request will be granted per purchase, and exchange requests are not guaranteed.
• Exchanges must be confined to courses or training sessions within 6-months of the original purchase order. Participants will be allowed to exchange an initial purchase order with another course of equivalent or lesser value assuming (i) the exchange course occurs within 6-months of the purchased course, (ii) the exchange course has space on its roster such that it is able to enroll additional students, and (iii) the student has met all course requirements needed for enrollment in the exchange course.
• As exchanges are subject to enrollment restrictions, course and training session availability, and are governed by rules and restrictions that may limit the exchange, exchanges are not guaranteed and will be assessed on a case by case basis. 

Refund Policy: Course orders are not necessarily eligible for a refund or cancellation. We can assist you if you are having any trouble with the initial groundwork and are here to guide you throughout the process. If you met our criteria for a refund, after completion and processing of your request, a refund will be issued for the face value paid (or, for a discounted course or event, then instead the discounted price paid) minus all service fees.

Multiple payments for the same course: If a participant has made an extra payment (the same course bought multiple times) for the same course, a refund will be issued upon request. The request must be received via email to [email protected]. There will be a 3.7% transaction cost per credit card exchange or refund transaction.

By purchasing through our Site, you hereby agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to the course or event package you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not dispute or otherwise seek a “chargeback” from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from the Site. Should you do so, your registration is subject to immediate cancellation, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit future purchases from all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using the Site.

If we issue you a refund due to a canceled or postponed event or course, we will issue a refund of the face value paid (or, for a discounted course or event, then instead the discounted price paid) minus all service fees. 

By accessing the Site, you are agreeing to be bound by Terms and Conditions of Use, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site. The materials contained in this website are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR (a) ANY FAILURE OF ANOTHER USER OF THE SITE TO CONFORM TO THE CODES OF CONDUCT, (b) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR SITE, (c) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION AND/OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN, (d) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, WORMS, TROJAN HORSES, DEFECTS, DATE BOMBS, TIME BOMBS OR OTHER ITEMS OF A DESTRUCTIVE NATURE WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH OUR SITE, (e) ANY ERRORS, MISTAKES, INACCURACIES OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE OR SITE IS TO WITHDRAW. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

We reserve the right to take exclusive control and defense of any claim, and you will cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.

It is our belief that these Terms do not contain any provision contrary to law. However, if any part of these Terms is determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, you agree that: (a) that part shall nevertheless be enforced to the extent permissible in order to effect the intent of these Terms, and (b) the remaining parts shall be deemed valid and enforceable.
