Course Refund and Guarantee Policy Writer

## CONTEXT
A creator needs a refund and guarantee policy for their course that reassures buyers and reduces purchase risk, while remaining fair and sustainable for the business. A clear policy builds trust and reduces disputes. This is educational guidance for drafting policy language. It is not legal advice, and the creator should have a qualified professional review the final policy for their jurisdiction.
