G. Refund Policy
- Press Features. If we are unable to get your feature published, you will receive a full refund for that feature. You may also cancel and receive a full refund at any time before your feature is published. Once a feature has been published, it is considered delivered and is not refundable. For multi-feature packages, refunds are calculated per unpublished feature based on the package price.
- Agency services. Refunds for retainers, website projects, and other agency services are governed by your signed service agreement.
- How to request a refund. Email info@cfmgrowth.com with your name and order details. Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method, typically within 5 to 10 business days.
- Chargebacks. Please contact us before filing a chargeback so we can resolve any issue directly.
H. Press Features
- What's included. Each Press Feature includes a custom article written by our team and published on a publication you select from our available list, along with the deliverables listed for your package at the time of purchase (such as links to your website, images, As Seen On graphics, a promotional video, or a press kit).
- Your approval. We send each article to you for review before publication. Nothing is published without your approval. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and approve.
- Publication policies. Each publication maintains editorial control over its website, including review, formatting, categorization, labeling (for example, as contributor or branded content), and how links are handled. A publication may request changes to or decline a submission. If a publication declines your feature, we will offer you an alternative publication or a refund under Section G.
- Your materials. You confirm that you own or have permission to use any images, logos, and content you provide, and you grant us permission to use them to create and publish your feature and related deliverables. We may decline content that is false, misleading, unlawful, or prohibited by the publication.
- Timelines. Publishing timeframes are estimates and depend on each publication's schedule.
- After publication. Published articles are hosted by the publication, not by us. We do not control a publication's decision to edit, move, or remove content after publication. If your article is removed within 90 days of publication, contact us and we will work with you on a replacement.
- No ranking guarantees. Press Features are intended to build credibility and visibility. We do not guarantee search engine rankings, traffic, AI search citations, or any specific business results.
- Use of publication names and logos. You may reference the publications where your feature was published (for example, "As Seen On") and use the graphics we provide for that purpose, as long as your feature remains published.
