At IBSC, users engage with a variety of educational and professional services designed to enhance their learning experience.

Refund eligibility at IBSC is primarily influenced by the type of service subscribed to or purchased and the specific circumstances surrounding each user's account.

Course Availability: If a user enrolls in a course that gets canceled or is no longer available within the subscription period, they may be eligible for a refund for that course or an adjustment in the subscription fee.
Account Access Problems: Users who experience prolonged access issues, preventing them from utilizing the service as intended, may be eligible for a refund pertaining to the duration of the access problem based on IBSC's service policies.
