LOST OR STOLEN PACKAGES
Gray Bearded Green Beret is not responsible for stolen packages. If packages are shown as “Delivered”, and list a date and time that they were delivered, you are responsible for the safety of that package once it has been properly delivered to the address listed on your order.
Tips for avoiding package theft:
- Have your package delivered to your work.
- Have your package delivered to the home of a relative or friend that you know will be home.
- Have your package held at your local post office for pickup.
- Request that your package has signature confirmation upon delivery in your order notes.
- Ask your carrier to place package in an area out of plain view.
- Use a doorbell camera or security camera
- Be sure to check your tracking updates so you are aware of when your package is going to be delivered.
Lost packages will be reported to the shipping carrier by Gray Bearded Green Beret and a claim filed. At the conclusion of the carrier investigation USPS, UPS or FedEx, a decision will be made on how to proceed. In most cases, if your package was lost by the shipping carrier, we will replace your gear once an official determination is made by the carrier that your package was indeed lost. ***Please note that during the COVID pandemic, shipping times may be much longer than listed in some cases. This is out of our control. As of December 2020, customers are advised to choose UPS as their shipping carrier.
Event / Workshop Cancellation Policy
No refunds are available if you cancel within 60 days of the event date. Your tuition can be applied to a future class if you need to postpone 30-60 Days prior to the event date. There are no refunds or postponements inside of 30 days from the event date.
If an event is cancelled by Gray Bearded Green Beret, you will receive a full refund or have the option of attending the next event rather than a refund.
A 75% refund of tuition is available if you cancel between 60-90 days prior to the event. If you cancel with more than 90 days before the event date, you will be eligible for a tuition refund, minus a 10% cancellation fee. If you purchased an event prior to a sale, or did not realize there was a sale, we do not offer retro-active discounts for courses, so we will be unable to provide you a refund for the difference. You may not cancel your event and re-sign up to receive a new discount code either.
If you received any free gear or virtual training as part of any promotions at the time of your course signup, and you cancel within an eligible refund period, your refund will not include the price of the gear or virtual training items you received. The retail value of the free items you received will be deducted from your refund.

If an Act of God causes the cancellation and rescheduling of an event, such as an earthquake, flood, lightning storm, hurricane, tornado, mudslide, meteor shower, or another natural disaster, the course will be re-scheduled within 60-90 days of the original course date. If GBGB cannot re-schedule the event within that time frame, attendees will be given a voucher to attend any course of their choosing within the next 12 months. If an attendee misses the course due to the inability to travel from their location due to an act of God, they will be given a voucher for a future course. If there is not a future course scheduled within 12 months, the attendee’s voucher will still be valid until such time that GBGB holds another similar event.
Live Course Cancellations may be made in writing to [email protected]. Cancellations are subject to cancellation fees. For cancellations, amounts paid, minus cancellation fees and other amounts owed, will be promptly refunded. The cancellation fees will be assessed regardless of resale of workshop spot.

For example, advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote The Gray Bearded Green Beret so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote The Gray Bearded Green Beret so long as the newsgroup specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from The Gray Bearded Green Beret. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in The Gray Bearded Green Beret Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
8.2. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as The Gray Bearded Green Beret, graybeardedgreenberet.com, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from The Gray Bearded Green Beret Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
8.3. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in The Gray Bearded Green Beret’s service).
8.4. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited The Gray Bearded Green Beret’s site (i.e., no page from our site or any The Gray Bearded Green Beret’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop-ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of The Gray Bearded Green Beret in iFrames, hidden links and automatic pop-ups that open The Gray Bearded Green Beret’s site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
