Answer |
What is your SPAM policy? |

normally distributed one new tip per day on a daily basis.
Some tips series may
distribute on a different schedule.

I have completed the

or I do not see an email in my InBox with Tip #1
information. |
If you were not automatically
re-directed to Tip #1 after completing the subscription
form, check your email in a couple of minutes.
Each free tips series is sent
to you to the email you entered into the subscription form.
If there is not an email
waiting for you within a few minutes after you subscribe,
check to make sure the email was not automatically put into
either your BULK or SPAM folders.
Make sure my email address,
brent@webtennis.net
, is put in your email address book so your email server
doesn't think I'm sending you SPAM.

The link in the email to a tip is not clickable
(highlighted). |
Try either copying & pasting the link into a new web
browser's address bar.
If you are unsure hot to copy
& paste, then open up a new web browser window, type the
link (the URL) into the address bar of the new browser
window, and then either click Enter or Go depending on your
browser.
Top of Page
|
The link to the tip brings up
a "Page Not Available" webpage. |
On occasion the server for
that specific page may be down temporarily. Wait a few
minutes and then try again.
Also, your internet connection
may be either too slow or your connection may have been
temporarily disconnected for some reason.
Try to re-establish your
connection, re-start your computer, and try again.
Top of Page |
I
have received one or more tips, but I am missing one or more
of the previous tips. |
Follow the link to your most recent tip and look for the
past Tip Archive list.

|
The video does not load or
play properly at the tip's webpage. |
The video tips play directly
from the website. You do not have to download them.
Video Viewing Software: Depending
on the tips series you have subscribed to, you will need
either one or both of the following free software programs
on your computer to view the videos:
Flash and QuickTime are
both free and simple to get onto your computer.
High Speed Internet
Connection: You must have a high speed internet
connection to load and view the video clips. A dial-up
telephone modem is not fast enough and will not load and/or
play the video clips properly.
If you have a high speed
connection and are experiencing problems, your connection
may be slowed down to unusually high usage by your internet
provider at that moment OR your computer's RAM memory may be
too full.
Close all of your programs
(be sure to first "Save" any files you may be working on),
wait two minutes after shut down, and then re-start your
computer.
Open the tip's webpage
again and see if the video will now work for you. If
not, try to view the tip at a time when you feel there is
not a high usage by your internet provider.

|
I
cannot hear any audio from either the video clip or the
audio button. |
You've probably already made sure, but check your computer's
speakers to confirm there is power to them.
If there is power to your
speakers, check to make sure the speakers are not muted.
For PC users...
- Go to "Start",
- then "Setting",
- then "Control Panel",
- then "Sounds and Audio
Devices:,
- then "Volume".
- Make sure the Mute
check box is not checked.

Injuries: Where do I find your Recommended
Injury Treatment Aids webpage? |
Click here
Top of Page |
Injuries:
I want to ask you if you think your injury treatment product
can help my specific injury condition. |
If you're at my website, here's what I know...
You're in a pretty decent
amount of pain, you've probably already tried all sorts of
remedies and visits to professionals, and nothing has worked
well enough to permanently relieve your pain.
Everyone feels their injury
condition is unique.
Believe me, the huge
majority of my customers initially came to my website with a
lot of pain and in need of relief.
I want to help you.
Even if you've tried all of
the meds like cortisone shots, lots of ibuprofen, orthotics,
and other injury specific treatment aids, my methods can
most likely help you, even if you've been suffering from
your injury for an extended period of time.
My products all come with a
100% lifetime customer guarantee.

|
Injuries: What is
your opinion on medications like cortisone, orthotics, and
other types of treatment aids? |
Cortisone & Ibuprofen:
I am not a believer in cortisone and/or ingesting lots of
ibuprofen.
It can possibly reduce
inflammation temporarily, but a cortisone injection or lots
of ibuprofen does not necessarily solve your ongoing problem
for future injury prevention.
Cortisone has been shown to
weaken tendons and fascia.
Ibuprofen has been shown to
cause internal problems.
Reducing inflammation is
not always that difficult if done properly.
Once you've reduced
inflammation, future injury prevention is an absolute must
to protect yourself from suffering another injury in the
immediate and distant future.
Orthotics: I
am not a big believer in orthotics for plantar fascia
injuries.
My opinion is that
orthotics are designed to stretch your arch and fascia by
"pushing" your arch up into your body weight.
When I had my plantar
fascia injuries years ago, I tried several different types
of orthotics with zero success.
I believe that arch muscles
and the fascia needs to be stretched, not by "pushing", but
by "pulling" up from an ankle support.
It may seem like a trivial
difference, but when I tried ankle supports to help maintain
a nice continuous even stretch throughout the day for my
arch and fascia, my plantar fascia injury started to heal.
A big majority of my
customers report the same results.
Top of Page
|
Injuries: Are you
a certified or licensed medical professional? |
No.
I am a tennis teaching
professional with over 35 years of teaching experience and
helping others with injuries.
My treatment methods are
based on my own personal experiences, the experiences of my
students and friends, and specific discussions with medical
and other certified professionals.

What forms
of payment may I use in addition to a credit card or PayPal?
|
Secure Payment: My merchant account is a secure
payment processor.
Visa, MasterCard, PayPal: In addition to
accepting credit cards such as Visa & MasterCard, you may
also use your PayPal account.
American Express:
If you want to use your American Express card, I have to
process that manually through a secondary merchant account.
Personal checks,
Certified checks, Money or Postal or bank orders, etc.:
Not a problem.
I do understand that some
folks are not comfortable using their credit card even
though my merchant account is a secure payment processor.
If you want to pay with a
check, please make it payable to:
Brent Abel
19 Lance Court
Moraga, CA 94556
USA
Let me know by completing
the form below that you are sending your check to me and I
will get your order mailed out to you right away so you
won't have to wait for your check to arrive here first.

I cannot find the payment form
for the product I wish to purchase. |
The payment links are normally
located at the end of each product's main information or tip
webpage.
Top of Page |
When I
click on one of the payment options, I am re-directed to a
"Page Not Available" or error message. |
On occasion the server for that specific page may be down
temporarily. Wait a few minutes and then try again.
Also, your internet connection
may be either too slow or your connection may have been
temporarily disconnected for some reason.
Try to re-establish your
connection, re-start your computer, and try again.

I tried to use a credit card,
but it was denied. What do I do now? |
There are several possibilities...
- You may have mistyped or omitted some
of your card's and/or contact information. Double
check to make sure everything is correct.
- Your card may have expired. Use
another card if you have one.
- If the solutions above do not help,
try one more time, and if the card is still denied, you
will be given an option to have your card processed
"Offline".
That means that you are giving me (no one else)
permission to manually process your credit card for you.
Not a problem. I have a second secure merchant
account I use for manually processing credit cards if
needed.
If you choose to have your card processed "Offline", it
is assumed I will be able to manually process your card
successfully, and you will then be re-directed to your
product's download page.
If for some reason I am unable to manually process your
card successfully, I will contact you to arrange for a
different form of payment.
Top of Page
|
My credit
card or PayPal account was accepted, or I chose to have my
order processed Offline, but I was not automatically
re-directed to the product's download page. |
This happens from time to time. Not a problem.
Credit Cards:
First thing to do is to check your email. When you
successfully completed your payment, an email should have
been automatically sent you within a few minutes.
A link to your download
page is contained in that email.
If that email is not
waiting for you in your InBox, make sure your email server
did not automatically place it in either your BULK or SPAM
folders thinking I was sending you SPAM.
If you find that email
somewhere other than your InBox, make sure my email address,
brent@webtennis.net,
is in your email address book (and approved if necessary) so
your email server doesn't think I'm sending you SPAM.
PayPal: On
occasion, PayPal takes a little longer to approve
transactions than credit cards. I don't know why, but
it just happens from time to time.
Read the information
directly above in the credit card section regarding checking
your email
If you don't receive your
product's confirmation email after one hour from completing
your purchase, please complete the form below.

Are there any additional
shipping fees to destinations outside of the United States?
What is your method for
shipping?
How long does it take
for my order to arrive to me? |
Shipping Fees:
Not for my tennis instructional or injury treatment products
(Download only, DVD, or Computer CD).
There may be additional
shipping fees for certain injury treatment aids such as
supports, splints, stretching aids, etc.
There may be additional
shipping fees for some of my recommended tennis learning
aids such as the PracticeHit Stroke Developer, the 8Board,
etc.
Shipper: Within
one business day of your order, I place your package with
the US Postal mail.
How Long?: Normally, 2-3 business days within the
U.S. and Canada, and approx. 7 business days outside of North America.

I am not a computer expert.
Is downloading any of the material difficult to do? |
Usually it's not.
However, as they say, this internet thing still is not an
exact science, and even computer experts can experience a
little problem now and then.
The directions I have posted
at the download page are straight forward, however, for some
folks, it's also just not worth taking the several minutes
to read through the directions and download the videos.
You must have a high speed
internet connection to download your product's information,
especially the videos.
A telephone dial-up
connection cannot handle the file sizes. If you have a
dial-up connection, please order either the DVD or Computer
CD versions for your desired product.
Top of Page |
If I order
the product's Download Only version, and then later decide I
want to order the DVD or CD versions, how do I upgrade to a
disc version? |
Your specific product's download page should have payment
links for you to upgrade to either the DVD or Computer CD
versions.

Can I trust your 100% customer
satisfaction guarantee? |
Completely...
If I can't help you, I don't
want to keep your money.
This is my sole business,
and my reputation counts for a ton, and not honoring my 100%
lifetime customer satisfaction guarantee does nothing
positive for me and/or my business.
Do some customers request a
refund? Yes.
My refund rate for my
tennis instructional products is under 1%, and my refund
rate for my injury treatment products is under 2%.
All I ask is you give my
products a fair and honest try.
If I request a refund, how
long does it take to get my money returned?
Credit Cards:
In most cases I can immediately authorize a refund to your
credit card company as soon as I receive your refund
request.
However, for whatever
reason that I have not yet figured out, either my merchant
account or your credit card company will force me to
manually issue you a refund.
This is not a problem, but
I may have to mail you a refund check as soon as I receive
your refund request.
PayPal: If you
ordered through PayPal, I will refund your purchase amount
back to your PayPal account as soon as I receive your refund
request.
Checks: If you
ordered with a check, I will mail you a refund check as soon
as I receive your refund request.
And again, my refund policy
is strictly "no questions asked", however, I do ask that you
give my product a fair and honest try prior to requesting a
refund.

Will the
Video CD version play in my computer's CD drive? |
Yes. In fact, the videos will only play in your
computer's CD drive, not a DVD player.
If your computer has a DVD
drive, the Video CD will play the videos from that drive.
Any additional audio only
files (non video) associated with your product's CD are
formatted as MP3 files and should play in any CD player such
as your car's CD player.
Top of Page |
Is the DVD version compatible
with non United States DVD players? |
Yes.
The DVDs are formatted for
all DVD players worldwide, however, on a very rare occasion,
there may be incompatibility.

I have downloaded the videos,
but one or more of the videos does not play properly. |
Video: There is always a slim chance that one
of the video files may have been corrupted during the
download. Try
deleting the file from your computer and then download that
video file again from the download page.
If the video still does not
play properly, make sure you have the most recent updated
versions of both the free Flash and QuickTime video players
properly downloaded onto your computer.
You may also want to
re-start your computer first before viewing the videos.
Close all of your programs
(be sure to first "Save" any files you may be working on),
wait two minutes after shut down, and then re-start your
computer.
Open the tip's webpage
again and see if the video will now work for you. If
not, try to view the tip at a time when you feel there is
not a high usage by your internet provider.
Audio: You've
probably already made sure, but check your computer's
speakers to confirm there is power to them.
If there is power to your
speakers, check to make sure the speakers are not muted.
For PC users...
- Go to "Start",
- then "Setting",
- then "Control Panel",
- then "Sounds and Audio
Devices:,
- then "Volume".
- Make sure the Mute
check box is not checked.
