·        Disputing charges if you fail to earn a certificate 

·        Re-purchasing the course under another email if you failed to earn a certificate

·        Plagiarism (if course assignments call for a paper to be turned in to a grader)

 A: No. This course is considered an e-good, and all e-good purchases are final, so please be sure to read the purchase terms and conditions before you pay for your purchase.
