REFUND POLICY
Last updated: January 2026
This Refund & Credit Policy explains how refunds and credits are handled for outplacement services purchased through TopStack HR, a brand of SJM Ventures LLC.
This policy applies to all purchases made through topstackhr.com and is incorporated into our Terms of Service.
1. General Policy
Outplacement services are delivered through time-bound, activation-based programs. As a result, credits—not refunds—are the standard form of remediation for unused services.
Refunds, if issued, are handled on a case-by-case basis at our discretion and are not guaranteed.
2. Activation Codes & Service Start
-
Each purchased program includes an activation code.
-
Activation codes are valid for six (6) months from the date they are issued unless otherwise specified.
-
Once an activation code is redeemed, the associated services are considered in progress.
Services are non-refundable once an activation code has been redeemed.
3. Unused Activation Codes
If an activation code is not redeemed within the six-month validity period:
-
The activation code expires.
-
A credit equal to the value of the unused program may be issued.
-
Credits may be applied toward future purchases of outplacement services.
4. Credit Terms
-
Credits are valid for two (2) years from the date the credit is issued.
-
The credit issuance date is tied to the expiration of the activation code, not the original purchase date.
-
Credits are non-transferable and may only be used by the original purchasing organization.
5. Refunds
Refunds are not part of our standard policy.
However, refunds may be considered under limited circumstances, such as:
-
Duplicate or erroneous charges
-
Exceptional administrative errors
Any refund decision is made at the sole discretion of SJM Ventures LLC.
6. Payment Methods
Payments may be made by:
-
Credit card
-
ACH transfer
-
Wire transfer
-
Check
Refunds, if approved, will be issued using the original payment method where possible.
