ASSIGNING OPEN SLOTS AND PARTICIPANT ACCESS TO THE TKI
After you’ve made your purchase, be sure to download the KD_Spreadsheet and carefully follow the instructions.
If you are purchasing the TKI for one other person, please fill out the spreadsheet for just that ONE person.
If you’ll be taking the TKI along with other participants in your group, please make sure to also include YOUR information on the KD_Spreadsheet.
…
When you send your completed KD_Spreadsheet to info@kilmanndiagnostics.com, also let us know your preferences for these four services:

…
When we import your spreadsheet, every listed person will immediately receive an “account email” that provides your group’s unique PRIVATE LINK along with the step-by-step instructions for registering a private account on the publisher’s website and then taking the TKI assessment within the 90-day access period—which begins on the date when we import your spreadsheet. At that same time, we will also send you that same unique PRIVATE LINK with instructions, so you can email that information to your clients or group members—just in case they never received their account email from the publisher’s website (usually due to a very sensitive firewall).
Refund Policy: As stipulated in All Our Policies, within 30 days from the purchase date, if you change your mind about using the TKI for any reason (if, for example, your training program gets cancelled), just contact us and you’ll receive a full refund for any unused TKIs. But we do not offer any refund, in whole or in part, once this initial 30-day period has elapsed or for any group members who’ve already taken the TKI assessment tool.
Expiration Policy: For most group TKI purchases, the number of persons listed on the spreadsheet will equal the quantity of TKIs that you just purchased. However, if you purchased a larger quantity of TKIs than the people listed on your spreadsheet (for the purpose of taking advantage of our quantity discounts), we’ll credit your group account with those extra TKIs, which we refer to as, “open slots.” But you’ll need to submit a new KD_Spreadsheet when you know the participants who’ll be making use of those open slots in your account, which then initiates their 90-day access period for completing the TKI assessment.
Those “open slots” in your group account can be assigned to participants any time within ONE YEAR of the purchase date, after which, those “open slots” officially expire. But either before—or after—those slots expire, you can take advantage of our Renewal Policy to reactivate those open slots for one more year by paying 50% of the current price of that online product on our Special Payments page.
You will receive each participant’s TKI Individual Report immediately upon completion (default), unless you request otherwise.
For purchases of 10 or more TKI assessments, we provide an Extra Services Bundle that is designed to help you track participant completion and conveniently access TKI Reports.
Please specify the date and time you would like to receive each of these items (Monday–Friday, 8AM–5PM Pacific Time). Example: Jan 12, 2026 at 8:00 AM PST
