Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This policy applies to purchases made through Catalyst Exam. Mandatory rights under applicable UAE consumer law remain unaffected.

1. Before an Assessment Is Used

If you purchased the wrong level, were charged incorrectly, or cannot access a purchased service because of a verified Catalyst technical or administrative error, contact Catalyst promptly. Where appropriate, Catalyst may correct the access, provide replacement access, or issue a refund.

2. After Digital Access Has Been Used

Because assessment access and protected digital learning content may be consumed immediately, refund eligibility may be limited once a candidate has started an assessment, submitted an attempt, opened protected booklet content, or otherwise materially used the purchased digital service, except where mandatory law requires a remedy or the service was defective, incomplete, materially misdescribed, or not provided as agreed.

3. Failed or Interrupted Assessment

If a verified platform failure materially prevents completion of an assessment, Catalyst may restore access, permit a replacement attempt, or provide another appropriate remedy. Problems caused solely by the candidate's device, internet connection, browser settings, power supply, or local environment may not qualify for a refund.

4. Duplicate or Incorrect Charges

Duplicate charges or confirmed payment errors will be investigated and corrected. Please provide the account email, transaction reference, date, and amount when contacting support.

5. Coupons and Free Access

Free access has no cash value and is not refundable. Discounts are applied according to the coupon terms in force at the time of redemption.

6. Certificates and Completed Services

Once a qualification has been completed and a certificate has been validly issued, the assessment service is considered delivered. This does not affect any remedy required by law for an actual defect or error.

7. How to Request a Refund or Remedy

Submit your request through the Contact & Support page and include:

  • candidate name and registered email;
  • level or service purchased;
  • payment date and amount;
  • transaction or payment reference where available;
  • a clear description of the problem.

8. Processing

Approved refunds are normally returned through the original payment method where possible. Payment-provider processing times may apply.

This policy should not state "no refunds under any circumstances." UAE consumer protections can require remedies for defective, incomplete, misdescribed, delayed, or non-conforming goods or services.
