                                              Files arrive first: our system emails your purchase within a minute of successful payment — unlimited installations, and 24/7 support if nothing shows up within 2 hours (check spam). Failure is covered too: take the corresponding PCCN exam within 60 days of purchase, and if you don't pass, submit a scanned enrollment slip plus the official Score Report PDF within 2 days of the exam for a full refund, processed within 7 days. Exclusions: exams within 3 days of purchase, candidate names that don't match the payer, and free or expired products. You can also choose a free replacement — two other products of equal value.
