Refund Policy

All sales are final. No refunds. This is the same policy shown at checkout on hottieacademy.com, and it is the only one: Hottie Academy sells every program there, through one Stripe checkout, and this lesson site is where you take the coursework you bought. It sells nothing and has no refund policy of its own.

You are paying for studio time, coaching and edits that get scheduled the moment you enroll, and for lifetime access to your coursework.

The Monthly Membership works the same way, one month at a time: cancel whenever you like and no further charge is made, but months already paid are not refunded.

The Monthly Membership is $29 a month, charged on the day you join and on the same day every month after, until you cancel. It opens all ten modules, every quiz and the final exam on this site. It is lessons only: no shoots, edits, consultations, Hottie Library, partner discounts or The Forge.

Cancel anytime, online, from your dashboard (Manage or cancel). Cancelling stops the next charge. Your lessons stay open until the end of the month you paid for, then they close; your progress is kept in case you come back. We do not refund a month that has started, in part or in full.

If a renewal payment fails, Stripe tries the card again for a short time and your lessons stay open meanwhile. Update your card from your dashboard; if the payment never goes through, the membership ends.

Membership payments are not upgrade credit: the one-time programs on hottieacademy.com are priced on their own.

Shoots and The Forge run on our NYC studio calendar, and you pick your dates by email after enrollment. If you can’t make a date, email hello@hottieacademy.com and we’ll move you to the next Saturday at no charge.

A charge that should never have happened, such as the same purchase taken twice, is not a sale. Tell us at hello@hottieacademy.com and we will refund the extra charge to the original payment method.

When you upgrade on hottieacademy.com, everything you paid counts toward the higher program and you pay only the difference. Credit is applied at checkout and is never paid out as cash.

If something is wrong with an order, please contact us before you ask your bank or card company to reverse the payment. We can usually sort it out faster, and a dispute filed without contacting us first can lead us to suspend the account while it is investigated. If a chargeback is filed for a purchase you have used, we may share the records of your use with the payment processor to answer it.

Nothing in this policy takes away rights you have under the law where you live, including any consumer rights that cannot be waived. Where those rights give you more than this policy does, they apply.

Billing and order questions for both sites go to the same place: Hotties USA LLC, New York, NY. Email hello@hottieacademy.com.
