Cancellation Policy
Backlog Refinement Bootcamp – Booking Policy 1. Booking Confirmation Your booking is confirmed once full payment is received. This secures your participation in the selected Bootcamp tier (Virtual, Private, or Enterprise) and reserves NBD Consulting Services’ coaching resources for your engagement window. 2. Completion Window The Bootcamp must be completed within 3 months (90 days) from the date of booking. This flexible window allows your team to align schedules and prepare for the sessions without risk of losing your investment. If the Bootcamp is not completed within 3 months, NBD Consulting Services will make every reasonable effort to reschedule remaining sessions; however, availability cannot be guaranteed beyond this window due to staffing and program scheduling. 3. Rescheduling You may reschedule individual sessions up to 48 hours before the scheduled start time without penalty. If a full Bootcamp must be rescheduled, it must occur within the original 3-month window. Reschedules outside of this window may incur a reactivation fee if staffing changes or program adjustments are required. 4. Cancellations Cancellations made within 7 days of booking and before the first session are eligible for a 75% refund. Cancellations after the first session are non-refundable but may be credited toward another Bootcamp or consulting engagement within the same calendar year. 5. Client Responsibility The client is responsible for ensuring participant attendance and engagement. Missed sessions without notice will not be rescheduled. 6. Availability Session availability is based on the current coaching schedule. Early booking is recommended to secure preferred dates. Delays in scheduling within the 3-month window may limit available time slots. 7. Good Faith Extension (Optional Clause) If unforeseen scheduling constraints prevent completion within the 3-month period, NBD Consulting Services may, at its discretion, extend access for up to 30 additional days to accommodate remaining sessions.
