Dietitian Success Center
No-Refunds Policy (Try Before You Buy!)
At DSC, we’ve put so much love and expertise into creating incredible resources for our members. For that reason, we don’t offer refunds, as this protects the integrity of our content and prevents misuse, like downloading all our amazing client handouts and leaving. However, we want you to feel completely confident in your decision! That’s why we encourage you to check out our Free Starter Kit and explore our Nutrition Library preview before joining. This way, you can see exactly how much value we pack into our resources before making your purchase. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
Additionally, no partial refunds are given if you cancel before your renewal date. You will retain access to all membership benefits until the end of your current billing cycle. You will always retain access for the full time you've paid, regardless of when you cancel. It is your responsibility to cancel your membership in a timely manner if you no longer wish to use our service.
