Do you offer refunds?
Because Vizio Makeup Academy courses provide instant digital access and makeup kits are shipped automatically once an order is placed, all sales are final and non-refundable. Digital content cannot be revoked, and makeup kits cannot be returned due to professional hygiene standards, safety regulations, and liability concerns. In rare cases of technical enrollment errors (such as duplicate charges or system failures), exceptions may be reviewed if requested within 5 days of purchase — please contact support right away with order details so we can investigate.
