I would be careful with actions that might be judged as blackmailing if you are considering legal action because in civil cases you are destroying a lot of good faith. If your contract has a confidentiality clause then you might be breaking it by posting this stuff. Your damages are limited to $2000 or so that you want refunded, but the damages for violating a confidentiality clause (unless capped in the contract itself) can me orders of magnitude more. It sounds like you are upset and don't feel the program was useful so I would instead complain in reviews/opinions about what you received for $2000 and why you don't think it's valuable. I'm not a lawyer but if you aren't contractually owed a refund and being offered a generous one off one I would try to compromise here and use it as a learning experience for future contracts.

Devslopes is not licensed by any state to be a school so there’s a really good chance this contract will be held as void. OP did not threaten litigation, he said he would call regulators. Also you have to prove damages in order for a confidentiality clause to result in a monetar

Totally that Devslopes would have to prove damages as well and very fair.
