4.1 Prices, Currency, and Price Changes

• All prices for Digital Templates displayed on the Website are quoted in United States Dollars (USD).
• We reserve the right to adjust the price of any product at any time, without prior notice. The price applicable to your Order will be the price displayed on the Website at the time you place and complete the checkout process.
• You are solely responsible for any sales tax, use tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), or other similar taxes, duties, or levies (collectively, "Taxes") that may apply to your purchase under the laws of your country, state, province, or other region. All prices shown exclude any such Taxes unless otherwise explicitly stated during the checkout process.

4.2 Order Process and Formation of Contract

• You place an Order by selecting a product, proceeding to checkout, providing the required billing and account information, and finally clicking the "Place Order" or similar button.
• Your submission of an Order constitutes an offer to purchase. Our acceptance of your Order is effective at the moment we send you an order confirmation email, which will include your order details and download instructions. At this point, a binding contract of sale for the purchased Digital Template(s) is formed between you and us.
• We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any Order at our sole discretion, for reasons including but not limited to: product availability or supply issues, errors in pricing or product information, suspected fraud, inability to verify your payment information, or your violation of these Terms.

4.3 Payment Processing

• All payments are securely processed through our designated third-party payment service provider, Cream.
• By providing payment information, you authorize us and Cream to charge the full amount of your Order to your chosen payment method.
• You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing and account information. You are responsible for promptly updating your account and payment information so we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

• Download access is valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. After this period, the download links will expire. You are responsible for downloading and securely saving the files to your device within this timeframe. We do not offer refunds or re-provide files due to inability to download after the access period has expired, unless such inability is due to an ongoing technical fault caused by our error.
• Definition of Completed Delivery. Digital Template(s) shall be deemed to have been delivered completely at the moment our system records the order payment as successful and the status of the 'download link' under your Account is marked as available. Your subsequent act of logging into your Account and downloading the file(s) constitutes your final acknowledgment of having successfully received the product.

4.5 Finality of Sale

Given the nature of digital products (which cannot be substantively "returned" once delivered) and our provision of product access via your Account and email prior to purchase, all sales are final. You expressly acknowledge that you waive any statutory right of withdrawal or "cooling-off" period that may be applicable in your jurisdiction, as the service (i.e., the provision of access to the digital files) is fully performed upon you receiving the download links.

For consumers outside the EU, you may be responsible for self-assessing and paying VAT under the "reverse charge" mechanism applicable in your location.

5. Refund and Cancellation Policy

5.1 General Policy: Final Sale

Given that our products are digital goods available for immediate download and cannot be substantively "returned" once accessed, all sales are final. By completing a purchase, you confirm your understanding and agreement that, except for the very limited exceptions explicitly stated in Section 5.2 below, we do not offer refunds or credit for any purchases. This includes, but is not limited to, requests for refunds based on: change of mind, accidental purchase, failure to read the product description thoroughly, incompatibility with your personal software or device, dissatisfaction with the design style or color representation after download, or failure to download the files within the designated access period.

5.2 Exceptions: Limited Refund Scenarios

We may, at our sole discretion, provide a refund or a replacement file only in the following specific and verifiable circumstances:

• Complete Download Failure Due to Technical Fault: A verifiable technical fault with our Website has completely prevented you from downloading the purchased Digital Template(s) through the links provided in your Account or via email. You must report this issue via email within seven (7) calendar days of the purchase date.
• File with Major Technical Defect: A 'Major Technical Defect' refers to a problem that renders a file completely impossible to open or edit in industry-standard software that matches its format specifications, or results in the absence of a core advertised feature (e.g., editable text layers). This excludes color display variations, compatibility issues with specific non-mainstream software, or user error. If a downloaded file has a serious and verifiable technical defect that renders it unusable for its basic intended purpose (e.g., a corrupted file that cannot be opened, missing promised key design layers), you must report this issue with evidence (e.g., screenshots) within seven (7) calendar days of downloading the file.
• Duplicate Charge: You were erroneously charged multiple times for the same order. You must provide a bank or payment provider statement as evidence.

In any eligible case, our primary solution will be to attempt to restore your download access or provide a replacement, functional file.

5.3 Refund Request Process

If you believe your situation qualifies under the exceptions above, you must apply by:

• Sole Contact Channel: Emailing weddingsketchshop@gmail.com.
• Application Deadline: Within the 7-calendar-day period specified following the triggering event (purchase/download).
• Required Information: The email must include: order number, purchase date, email address used for purchase, a detailed description of the issue, and relevant screenshots or other supporting documents.

We will review and provide an initial response within ten (10) business days of receiving a complete application. We reserve the right to request further information to complete our investigation.

5.4 Refund Method and Timing

• If a refund request is approved, the refund will be processed only to the original payment method (via our payment processor, Cream).
• For refunds approved due to our error (e.g., sending the wrong file), we will bear any transaction fees that may be charged by Cream, ensuring you receive a full refund. For other approved refunds, the refunded amount will be the net amount after deducting any payment processing fees incurred.
• The time for the refund to be reflected in your account depends on the processing times of your financial institution or payment provider and may take five (5) to fifteen (15) business days or longer.

5.5 Pre-Dispute Resolution and Policy Abuse

• Mandatory Direct Contact: Before initiating a chargeback, refund request, or dispute with your bank, credit card issuer, or payment platform (e.g., PayPal), you agree you must first contact us using the method specified in Section 5.3 and give us a reasonable opportunity (at least 10 business days) to investigate and resolve your issue.
• Consequences of Policy Abuse: Unilaterally initiating a payment dispute without first attempting to resolve the matter directly with us will be considered a breach of these Terms. We may immediately suspend or terminate your Account as a result and reserve the right to take legal action to recover the disputed amount and associated costs.
• We reserve the right to deny any refund request we deem to be fraudulent, abusive (e.g., multiple unwarranted requests), or not meeting the explicit terms of this policy.

12. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Dispute Resolution

12.1 Reservation of Consumers' Mandatory Rights

Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive you, as a consumer, of any mandatory statutory rights that you enjoy under the laws of the country where you habitually reside, including, but not limited to, the right to bring legal action in the courts of your domicile, which cannot be waived by agreement. Should any provision of these Terms conflict with such mandatory laws, the provisions of the mandatory laws shall prevail.

12.2 Governing Law

These Terms of Service, your use of the Website, and any rights and obligations arising therefrom or related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is hereby expressly excluded.

12.3 Pre-Dispute Negotiation Procedure

Prior to initiating any formal legal proceedings in court or arbitration regarding any dispute or claim, you and we agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute amicably through good-faith negotiations. The party intending to initiate such negotiations must send a written notice to the other party at weddingsketchshop@gmail.com, detailing the nature and basis of the dispute. Both parties shall endeavor to resolve the dispute through informal negotiations within thirty (30) days from the date the notice is sent. This negotiation period is a mandatory prerequisite step before commencing any formal legal proceeding, including litigation or arbitration.

12.4 Jurisdiction and Venue

If a dispute cannot be resolved through the negotiation procedure set forth in Section 12.2, any lawsuit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the people's courts with jurisdiction over the domicile of the Operator (Ms. Ma). You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction by such courts or to venue in such courts, including any objection based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens or improper venue.

12.5 (Optional) Alternative Dispute Resolution Suggestion

To facilitate efficient and cost-effective dispute resolution and enhance trust among international users, both parties may consider submitting any dispute not resolved by negotiation to online arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in accordance with its Expedited Arbitration Rules in force at the time. The seat of arbitration shall be Singapore, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on both parties. This clause is an optional, suggestive provision intended to offer a neutral alternative to court litigation. If both parties agree in writing to adopt arbitration, the provisions of Section 12.3 regarding court jurisdiction shall not apply.

12.6 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You and we hereby waive any right to bring or participate in any lawsuit as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, consolidated action, or representative proceeding. Unless agreed otherwise in writing by both parties, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, class, or representative proceeding. Both parties further expressly waive any right to a trial by jury in any action related to these Terms.

12.7 Statute of Limitations

You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Website must be filed within one (1) year after the date the underlying facts giving rise to such claim or cause of action first occurred.
