Refund policy

Software on CD ROM

Our software is tested to ensure that your copy on CD ROM is functioning properly before it is mailed to you. For this reason, there are few reported problems with the software.

However, if the software on the CD ROM appears to be faulty when you receive it, contact us immediately by email with a description of the problem and we will try to resolve the issue.

If we decide that a solution is not possible, we will ask you to return the faulty CD ROM to us in good order and on receipt we will immediately issue a replacement. The purchaser is responsible for all freight and packaging costs involved in returning the software.

Training courses on CD ROM

All our CD ROM courses are tested to ensure that your copy is functioning properly before it is mailed to you. For this reason, there are few reported problems with our CDs.

However, if the CD ROM appears to be faulty when you receive it, contact us immediately by email with a description of the problem, and we will try to resolve the issue.

If we decide that a solution is not possible, we will ask you to return the faulty CD ROM to us in good order and on receipt we will immediately issue a replacement. The purchaser is responsible for all freight and packaging costs involved in returning the software.

No refund can be given on the purchase of CD ROM courses, as their informative and total value has been transferred to you, the purchaser, and cannot be reversed.

To avoid disappointment, before you purchase carefully study all the information on our site that describes the Old Way New Way^® learning method, its applications, and the course(s) you intend to purchase.

 

Duration and expiry of online courses

Purchasers of online courses are entitled to full support for course completion for a period of three months from the date their course commences. Course commencement occurs on the date when the purchaser is sent an email message stating that their course has commenced.

Three months is normally sufficient for course completion, based on past experience over a number of years. Purchasers of online courses are not automatically entitled to support for course completion beyond the three month period.

Support for course completion beyond this three month period may be granted if satisfactory reasons are supplied by the purchaser to justify an extension of time. However, an extension of time beyond the three months should not be considered the normal expectation. The decision as to whether support for course completion will be provided beyond the three months period, or not, remains solely with Personal Best Systems, whose decision is final.

In other words, when you enrol in our online course you do so with the realisation that it has to be completed within three months. After that period of time you may find that you are on your own.

 

Privacy policy

A privacy policy concerns personal information, e.g., anything that could identify you. We follow strict rules as to what we do and do not do with the information you give us when you buy our products and services, or ask us for information about our products and services.

Things we don't do:

• we don't give out or sell your personal information to anyone else
• we don't use cookies.

Things we do:

• we only ask for and keep information about you that is required so you can buy our products and can then receive the goods by mail or over the Internet
• we store this information securely and we don't leave it lying around
• after a time, when no longer needed, this personal information is destroyed, without trace
• from time to time we will email you information about our new products, upgrades, and special offers. When we email you it is always addressed to you personally and it is an individual email, not part of a long list that shows every other person's email address along with yours
• we use Eudora email software, not other software, because we believe it has fewer security risks
• we use an email contact form instead of placing our email address on our website, because this reduces the amount of junk email we get and in turn reduces the likelihood of your own exposure to junk email
• we follow the best practice guidelines described on the National Privacy Principles website: http://www.privacy.gov.au/business/index.html
• we strive to continuously improve our business practices relating to privacy and information security.

Nail biting habits die hard

Once established, habit patterns like nail biting are hard to break.

The typical advice from family and friends to increase awareness, concentrate and self-correct is usually not very effective.

The person may appear to improve when in supportive company but repeatedly falls back to old ways when left to their own devices or placed in stressful situations.

Transfer of learning from such "helpful" encounters to everyday life and work is consequently poor.

Other treatments like medication, bad tasting chemicals, behaviour therapy, plastic teeth guards, hypnosis, willpower or nagging can be unpleasant, expensive or slow to show an effect.

Old habits die hard. There's got to be a better way.

Fortunately, a cognitive science discovery called Old Way New Way^® Learning offers:

1. A new perspective on habit patterns like nail biting.

2. A fast, practical, low-cost and user-friendly method of eradicating nail biting.

3. An effective strategy for unlearning all kinds of other bad habits.
