Delivery policy
Subject to availability of services and receipt of payment, transactions are processed immediately and receipt confirmed by way of email.
Return and Refunds policy
We are so confident in our product that we offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our per-use customers.
Option 1: If you have followed the problem-solving process for a particular issue, and after following the steps recommended in the template and checklist, you have had a CCMA award ruled against you for that issue, simply email a scan of the CCMA award, together with your Checkmate transaction number and account details, to info@checkmate.co.za, and we will refund you 100% of the Checkmate transaction fee.
Option 2 (last resort): If you do not conform to the conditions in Option 1, but still believe that you are entitled to a refund because the advice received was not of value to you, email us at info@checkmate.co.za with a brief explanation of the situation you’re experiencing with the employee, as well as the advice that was provided by Checkmate, and we will review your transaction for a refund. Requesting a refund based on option 2 is subject to our discretion, and not guaranteed.
Please note, the guarantee only covers the cost of that Checkmate transaction (R99), and does not cover you for any other costs (employee compensation etc.)
