We offer a 30-day unconditional guarantee on all physical products shipped to you. To request a return:
- Contact us within 30 days of delivery
- Obtain a return authorisation before shipping
- Return items undamaged in original packaging
- Include a copy of your receipt or a note with your name, address, and phone number
Important: All returns MUST be authorised by C.H.E.K Institute before shipping. Unauthorised returns may not be processed.
Refunds are processed within 2-3 weeks of receiving the returned product. Refunds are credited to the original payment method.
Return Shipping
You are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to our error (incorrect or defective item). For defective products, we will provide a prepaid return shipping label.
Our return shipping labels are valid only for orders shipped within the USA. Each label is weight-sensitive—please do not include additional items in the shipment.
Refund Deductions
- If a refund is requested and is not due to our error, a 5% deduction may apply to cover transaction fees
- Promotional discounts or gift certificates used on the original order will not be refunded
- Gift certificate portions will be credited to your account for future use
Digital Products
All sales of downloadable digital products are final. This includes:
- eBooks and PDF documents
- MP3 audio files
- Webinar and teleseminar recordings
- Any combination of digital products
We cannot offer refunds on digital products as we cannot guarantee discontinuation of use after a refund is issued.
If you have trouble accessing or downloading your purchase, please contact us for assistance—we're happy to help!
Online Courses & Classes
Web-based courses and classes are eligible for a full refund within 14 days of purchase, provided that:
- You have watched no more than 1 hour of content, or 10% of the course — whichever is less
- You have not downloaded any assets or course materials
Once either threshold has been exceeded, refunds are no longer available.
To request a refund, email shop@chekinstitute.com within 14 days of purchase.

We strive to ensure all products meet the highest standards. However, if you receive a defective product:

- Third-party products: 60-day defect coverage; after this period, contact the manufacturer directly
- Tornado Ball: 30-day warranty (covers manufacturing flaws only, not product abuse)
For defective products, we may request you return the item for examination. We will provide a prepaid return shipping label in these cases.
