1. DIGITAL PRODUCTS — NO RETURNS

Due to the nature of digital goods, all sales of digital products are final.

Once a download link has been accessed or delivered to the email address provided at checkout, the product is considered received and the sale is complete. Returns and exchanges are not accepted for digital products except where required by applicable law.

If you experience a technical issue accessing or downloading your files, please contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue.

  • Item must be in resalable condition
  • Customer must contact us prior to returning the item
  • Proof of purchase is required

Returns that do not meet these requirements may be rejected.

Required Steps:

7. DISCRETIONARY NATURE OF RETURNS

All return requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Approval of a return does not guarantee approval of a refund. Refunds are governed separately under our Refund Policy.

Nothing in this Return Policy obligates the Company to accept a return unless required by applicable law.


8. CHARGEBACKS & DISPUTES

Customers agree to contact us directly before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute. Returns or disputes initiated outside this process may be contested using transaction records, carrier documentation, and policy terms.
