By purchasing or accessing ITA services, users agree to this Refund Policy.

If a technical issue directly caused by ITA prevents reasonable access to an examination, ITA may, at its discretion:

  • An examination has been scheduled
  • Examination access has been granted
  • Examination materials have been accessed
  • A user has attempted or started an examination
  • Reschedule the examination
  • Provide examination credit

4. Membership Fees

Membership fees are generally non-refundable once membership benefits, digital resources, or member access have been activated.

Users may cancel future membership renewals at any time before the next billing cycle.
