Pro Tip: Make sure the Terms & Conditions and the Cancellation Policy are kept up-to-date with what is on your website. We separate your cancellation policy from your other policies for a good reason--in the event of a chargeback, many credit card companies now require proof that the customer specifically agreed to the cancellation policy. This gives you a better chance of winning that chargeback.
Privacy Policy: This is the privacy policy for your business. You can edit the block of text as you see fit.
