Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts

I put money on a service with the Church of Scientology. I never took thre service. they have a policy to return money unused with the only condition that I may nolonger be processed or trained. I have a signed paper that says i never took the service. I have a signed paper thatr states how much money they owe back. They are telling me I have to sign a waiver that absolves the church of any wrondoing ever. This is not per their policy. Is such a waiver legal? I can send a copy of it.

A waiver that absolves someone from any wrongdoing ever *probably* would not hold up in court because it is against public policy and is overbroad. When you put money on the service, did you sign or accept the terms of an agreement? If you did, read through that agreement and see if there is anything that requires you to sign a waiver before getting your refund. If the waiver is not part of the process of getting a refund, then remind them of that and demand that they fulfill their obligation to refund you your money with the documents you already provided.
