Billing and Cancellation

Credit Card Purchases

Billing for monthly and annual membership plans is automatically recurring until the member cancels his/her plan. By completing purchase of a monthly or annual membership, you agree that CodingIntel will continue to charge your payment method accordingly (every 30 days for montly plans, every 365 days for annual plans).

Membership may be cancelled at any time by clicking on the cancel link in your account profile. When you cancel, access to member features and benefits will continue through the end of the current billing cycle. (calculated from the original purchase date.)

A cancellation confirmation notification will be sent to the email address in your account profile. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please submit an inquiry using our contact form.

Pay by Check

For annual plans only, we offer a pay-by-check option. These plans are not automatically recurring. You will receive a renewal reminder and invoice 4 t0 6 weeks prior to the expiration of your current membership. Upon receipt of payment, we will renew your plan. If no payment is received, your membership will expire and access to member-only content will end.

Refund Policy

  • Individual Monthly Memberships – Refund of full purchase price if cancelled within 30 days of the original purchase. No refunds after 30 days of purchase. To request a refund, submit an inquiry using our contact form.
Our system does not provide automatic notifications when a member cancels their membership. You must email us to request a refund.
  • All other memberships – Cancellation for all other memberships are subject to the following terms: Annual memberships will receive a pro-rated refund based on the number of months remaining until the renewal date. There are no refunds for Group MONTHLY memberships after the first 30 days of membership.
  • *Webinars– There are no refunds for webinar purchases. If you are a member registered for a live event, and cancel your membership prior to the event, your webinar registration will be cancelled as well.

CodingIntel reserves the right to issue refunds in exception to this policy from time to time, at our discretion. Exercise of this right does not constitute a change in our stated policy, and does not obligate us to issue similar refunds except as required by the terms of use.

Webinars

There are two levels of webinar access. 1) Member access, 2) Non-member access.

1) Members may register for and attend live webinars for free as long as their membership remains active (*See Billing and Cancellation). Webinar access is limited to one phone line per registration/membership. Your office staff can listen in via speakerphone or your computer’s audio connection. Additional connections subject to additional fees. Members have unlimited access to on-demand webinars as long as their membership remains active. If CEUs are offered for an on-demand webinar, only registered users are eligible to request them. (Post-test required).

2) Non-members may purchase access to live and on-demand webinars. That purchase is for a SINGLE USER. You may not share access with anyone else. For live webinars, office staff can listen in via speakerphone or your computer’s audio connection. Additional connections subject to additional fees. Your purchase entitles you to unlimited access to the webinar and related materials for one year from the date of purchase. You may download printed materials for personal reference. Access to the recorded webinar will expire one year from purchase. If CEUs are offered, only registered users are eligible to request them. (Post-test required).
