11. Return Policy (If Applicable)
Since gadget.apola.co primarily offers informational content and does not directly sell physical products or subscription services, a standard return policy is not applicable. However, if we were to offer paid digital content (e.g., e-books, guides), the following would apply:
Due to the nature of digital content, all sales are generally final. We do not offer refunds or exchanges for digital content once it has been downloaded or accessed. However, we will consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis, particularly in the following situations:
- Technical Issues: If you experience technical difficulties preventing you from accessing the content, and we are unable to resolve the issue, a refund may be considered.
- Misrepresentation: If the digital content is significantly different from its description, a refund may be considered.
To request a refund, please contact us at [email protected] with a detailed explanation of the issue and proof of purchase. We reserve the right to deny refund requests if we believe they are unwarranted or fraudulent.
