Cancellation and Refund Policy

 

Ariel Publicity and Cyber PR® Cancellation and Refund Policy

Below is our cancellation and refund policy. Please take a moment to read through and make sure you understand what it is.

The Policies:

Any customer may discontinue their campaign for any reason. If you discontinue your campaign, it means that we will immediately cease further work on your campaign, with the understanding that certain pre-planned posts may have already been scheduled or submitted, and those posts will not be removed following discontinuance.

However:

  • If a customer cancels within 2 days after the customer signs up for a campaign, then the fees paid will be 100% refundable except for any costs, expenses and/or transaction fee charges incurred and/or assessed during such time (such as but not limited to credit card and PayPal transaction fees). 
  • If a customer cancels within 14 days after the customer signs up for a campaign, then the total fees for the campaign, once paid, will be 75% refundable except for any costs, expenses and/or transaction fee charges incurred and/or assessed during such time (such as but not limited to credit card and PayPal transaction fees). 
  • If a customer cancels within 21 days after the customer signs up for a campaign, then the total fees for the campaign, once paid, will be 50% refundable except for any costs, expenses and/or transaction fee charges incurred and/or assessed during such time (such as but not limited to credit card and PayPal transaction fees).
  • After 22 days, there are no refunds, full or partial, for cancellations. 

We will normally decline refund requests in the following cases: 

  • When any statements of dissatisfaction or requests for refunds are received after a campaign is completed. 
  • When a customer informs us about changing the decision to start a campaign after the entire VPK™, bio, and/or marketing plan are completed and already given to the customer for use. 
  • When a customer requests a refund due to the absence of services that we never claimed to provide and that are not listed on our website. 
  • In regard to biography writing, when any statements of dissatisfaction or requests for refunds are received after your biography is completed and used in your campaign or anywhere else by you (such as but not limited to your website or social media websites). 

Additional Information: 

  • In any case of a cancellation or refund, your registration name will be immediately blocked and you will not be able to use or access your Cyber PR® account or VPK™. 
  • We will start to build your VPK™ if you have paid a deposit for the campaign; however, we will not deliver your marketing plan, start a campaign or complete and send out your VPK™, unless agreed to in writing, until you have paid the full campaign fee. 
  • Once you sign up and make an initial payment towards your campaign, you must start the campaign and / or use the Cyber PR® system within 6 months of sign up or pay the difference if the campaign prices change. 

ATTENTION: If we grant any refund, then you receive your refund minus any costs, expenses and/or transaction fee charges incurred and/or assessed (such as but not limited to credit card and PayPal fees).

Explanation and Rationale:

The reason we have this specific refund policy is because once you register for any of our campaigns, we make extensive arrangements and financial investments into your campaign, and, in the case of your cancellation, we incur significant administration challenges, a drain on resources, expenses and third party costs, loss of substantial time in addition to loss of open campaign slots for other artists who want to jumpstart their careers. Given these facts, we can not issue 100% refunds after a certain amount of time.

Extenuating Circumstances:

We understand that there might be extenuating circumstances, so if you believe that there are, then please contact us and we will work with you to address your problem. Under this refund exception, refunds may be granted on a case-by-case basis, are at our sole discretion and all decisions are final and binding. When exceptions are made, refunds may be partial and or limited and no transaction fees are refunded. In some cases, we will instead offer to defer your campaign to a later date or suspend performance for an agreed period.

How to Request a Cancellation or a Refund:

All cancellations and refund requests must be in writing. Please send an email to Jason Loomis at jason@arielpublicity.com requesting a cancellation or a refund. If you cannot email us, you may also write to us at: Ariel Publicity, Artist Relations, and Booking, LLC and Cyber PR, LLC, 389 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11215. You must include your full name, contact telephone number and the reasons for which you are requesting a cancellation or refund in your correspondence.

It is recommended that in addition to emailing/writing to us, you also call us to make sure we have received your refund request. You may call us at: 212-239-8384.

We trust that you will not take advantage of our cancellation and refund policy. That means, if you completed an entire campaign and used our services and expertise, it would not be appropriate for you to complain and expect your money back - unless there was an unforeseen problem with the arrangement. In the end, we will do whatever we can to ensure you have the best experience with us.
