Know what you are buying.
PDF purchases and live training have different delivery terms. The selected format, payment route, and applicable conditions are confirmed before payment.
How is the PDF delivered?
After payment is verified, a personal download link is sent to the email address and WhatsApp number supplied with the purchase request. Keep those details accurate and retain the receipt.
May I print or share the course?
You may save and print a copy for your own learning. Redistribution, resale, public upload, classroom distribution, or inclusion in another commercial product is not permitted under the personal licence.
Is coding software required?
No. Coding can be completed manually or with suitable software. The quality of analysis depends on the method and decisions, not the platform.
Must two coders agree on every code?
Not in every thematic approach. Reliability procedures should match the declared methodology rather than being applied automatically.
