Returns and support: Digital-product sales are final except where required by law or when a delivered file is materially defective. If a valid paid order cannot be verified or a file is inaccessible or defective, contact the store with the order number.
Privacy: Delivery records the order reference, licensee name, keyed purchase-email record, license ID, download count, and timestamps. ELQAVREN does not inspect information you later enter into the working files.
