    I signed a contract with a guy in the store named *** in December 2023. I bought the products for $10,000.00. He gave me these products and would call and tell me how to use them. I did this religiously for 3 months and he told me I need to buy these other products for $1,000.00. Then he quit contacting me. Then he told me I really need to buy these other products and that I was cheap. I told him that I couldn&#**;t afford any other products. He contacted me twice and I asked what is wrong with him. His first excuse that he was in the hospital. I sent him pictures of the product and everything he has asked me to do. He constantly says he will contact me. He is wanting either more money or excuses.I would like to drop the contract and get some of the money back.

    I have sent all the info that you are asking when I did this complaint. The person who waited on me was the manager at the time who is now gone. I spent at the time I was there a package of products which was $10,000 and I did not even stay a year as the manager never followed up on my progress. I would text and call but would be put off

    We truly appreciate the opportunity to respond and clarify the situation regarding Mrs. ******* concern.
    We have made several attempts to gather more information from the client through this platform, kindly requesting any additional details or receipts that could help us fully understand her experience. Unfortunately, we were informed that the staff member she interacted withwho was the manager at that timeis no longer with our company.
    Mrs. ****** mentioned she had purchased a package totaling $10,000 and that she did not receive proper follow-up. We sincerely apologize if her experience fell short of expectations. We understand how frustrating that must have been, and we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.
    We want to emphasize that our management team has since changed, and we are committed to resolving any past or current concerns our clients may have. In order to move forward and properly address the issue, we kindly ask for Mrs. ******* collaboration in providing any remaining details or documentation related to her purchase. This will help us understand the situation thoroughly and offer an appropriate resolution.
    We are truly sorry if we failed to meet her expectations and are grateful for the feedback, as it helps us grow and improve. Our goal is always to deliver high-quality service and care to each of our clients.
    Thanks

    I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:
    I feel like my money was wasted and I was taken. Dont know what I expected from the business but spending the amount I did and wasnt even a year that I was there, I figured some refund was expected. I have sent all the info and even the receipt for what I spent


    Sincerely,

    The customer was asked to sign the sales contract [that part is not shown in the photos].

    Our product marketing and sales strategy is based solely on the manufacturer's guarantees of effectiveness. We make no claims beyond this scope.
    During the visit, we also verbally stated that all sales are final.

    We reiterate that:
    The customer made the purchase in person at our store.
    The customer signed a sales contract. This contract reiterates our refund policy.
    The customer took all the products with them at the time of purchase.
    The customer still has the products.
    Please note the attached approved receipt, which clearly shows our refund policy, but that part is not shown in the photo you included.
    We can read: "Thank you for shopping with us! Please retain this receipt to enjoy special promotions for returning customers..." and then comes the part: "No refunds. I hereby confirm that I have received all purchased products as described on the invoice."
    Our policy is very clear: No refunds.

    I bought some eye makeup and they charged me $551.75 for the makeup. I looked on ****** and they had the same product for $147.00. I went back and told the owner of the store that they overcharged me. So he was supposed to issue me a refund to my debit card. The manager, Shair Gal, did not give me a refund and never returned my money. They are reluctant to give me my money back.

    I would like my refund - $551.75 - to my bank.
