5. Professional services

The scope, deadlines, prices and payment terms of each service are defined in a specific written proposal or contract, which prevails over these terms where they differ. The client agrees to provide the information and access needed to perform the service.

6. Digital products and payments

7. Right of withdrawal and refunds

Under article 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code, you may cancel an online purchase within 7 (seven) days of the purchase or of receiving access to the product. To do so, send a request through the contact channels with your email and the purchase details. The amount paid is fully refunded, through the same payment method, and access to the product is revoked.

For professional services, the cancellation and refund conditions are those set out in the proposal or contract, without prejudice to the rights granted by law.
