Warranty:

• 100% moneyback, 60 days if you are trained by an SLP
• 90% moneyback, 30 days if you don’t get training

We have this dual warranty to motivate you to get training. Only customers who haven’t been trained to use their devices call us wanting to return them. When we tell them they’ll get more money back if they get training most make an appointment with an SLP. Then they are happy with their devices. Our return rates are less than 1% annually. Training with an SLP is at the customer’s expense. Any SLP who practices fluency shaping therapy can train you to use our devices.
