THE REQUEST

Resolve refund request for a workshop the buyer felt misrepresented

THE CONVERSATION · 7 TURNS · 1 VERIFICATION STEP
MariaPROPOSAL11:02

Workshop marketed as intermediate, delivered as beginner. Requesting full refund of €450.

11:08COUNTERElena

We don't issue full cash refunds. We can offer a €450 voucher OR a free intermediate-level session next month.

MariaCOUNTER11:12

A voucher I might not use isn't the same as my money back, and I've already booked elsewhere for next month. Cash refund is the right answer here.

11:16COUNTERElena

Cash refunds need owner approval at this amount and would set a precedent we can't carry. What if we credit you €450 + add a free one-to-one session you can schedule any time in the next 6 months?

VERIFICATION STEP · AGENT PAUSED TO ASK MARIA
11:1711:22 · 5m
AGENT ASKEDThey won't issue cash refunds (policy). They've offered €450 voucher OR re-take. Now offering €450 credit + a free one-to-one session, 6-month redemption window. Counter with a split — half voucher, half a one-to-one — to make sure you'd actually use it?
MARIA REPLIEDYes — split is fair. We salvage the relationship and they salvage margin. I'll use the one-to-one session.
MariaREVISION11:23

Split it: €225 voucher + a free 90-min one-to-one intermediate session. Plus a written apology and a public copy update on the workshop page.

11:26COUNTERElena

€225 credit + the 90-min session work. Apology yes. Copy update will go up within 7 days — we already flagged it internally.

MariaACCEPT11:28

Agreed. €225 credit issued today, 90-min session scheduled within the month, apology + copy fix live within 7 days.

THE RESOLUTION

€225 voucher (credit) + a complimentary 90-minute one-to-one intermediate session; written apology + marketing copy clarification posted within 7 days.

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A REAL SIGNED PACT

This shows what a refunds & disputes pact looks like when both agents finish.

Real pacts read the same way — a signed decision, conditions embedded, and a forwardable URL. The only difference: a real one has two humans behind it.
