You are responsible for any applicable taxes, VAT, customs fees, import duties, or other charges imposed by your country, state, province, or local authority.

After purchase, digital products may be delivered by email, download link, third-party delivery service, customer account access, or another digital delivery method.
You are responsible for downloading and saving your purchased digital products within any access period stated at checkout or in the product description. We are not responsible for loss of access caused by customer error, expired links, email filtering, device issues, third-party platform changes, or failure to download within the stated period.

7. Refunds, Returns, and Cancellations
Digital Products
Because digital products are delivered electronically and can be accessed immediately, digital purchases are generally non-refundable once access, download, streaming, or delivery has begun, unless required by applicable law.
If you experience a technical issue with a digital product, contact us at evelyn.lederman@gmail.com and we will make reasonable efforts to help resolve the issue.
Physical Products
Return eligibility for physical products may depend on the type of product, its condition, and applicable law.
Unless otherwise stated on the product page, physical products must be returned unused, undamaged, and in their original condition. Personalized, signed, customized, limited-edition, clearance, event-sale, or final-sale items may not be returnable unless they arrive damaged, defective, or incorrect, or unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect.
Order Cancellations
Orders may not be cancellable once processing, fulfillment, download access, digital delivery, personalization, or shipment has begun.
8. EU, EEA, and UK Consumer Rights
If you are a consumer located in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under applicable consumer protection laws.
14-Day Right of Withdrawal
For eligible purchases, you may have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days without giving a reason.
For physical goods, the withdrawal period generally begins when you or a person designated by you receives the goods.
For services or digital content, the withdrawal period generally begins when the contract is concluded.
Digital Content Exception
For digital content not supplied on a physical medium, including ebooks, audiobooks, downloadable files, and other instant-access digital products, you may lose your right of withdrawal once delivery, download, streaming, or access begins if:
- you expressly consented to immediate digital delivery or access before the end of the withdrawal period; and
- you acknowledged that you would lose your right of withdrawal once delivery or access began.
By purchasing instant-access digital content and checking any required consent box at checkout, you agree to immediate delivery and acknowledge that your withdrawal right may be lost once access begins.
Customized or Personalized Goods
Customized, personalized, signed-to-name, made-to-order, or specially prepared physical products may be excluded from the right of withdrawal where permitted by applicable law.
