1. DIGITAL GOODS
License (What you're buying):
When you buy an item, you acquire the right to use that item; you're not actually acquiring the item itself. What you get includes a license directly from CARTMEGA to use that item. Items are subject to specific terms of use, and these terms are the ‘license’ that we set on CARTMEGA. This license also applies to you if you download an item that someone else has bought for you (because anyone downloading an item needs to be a cartmega.com member) including downloading an item that is made available for free. Different license types are available for you to choose when you have selected an item. You’ll need to think about the way you want to use the item so that you can pick the right license to allow that use. It’s your responsibility to choose the correct license.
Intellectual Property:
We own all the CARTMEGA items that we have put on cartmega.com (unless otherwise stated and excluding content owned by others). This includes the logos, design, compilation, look and feel, copyright, service marks, trade names, trademarks and other intellectual property of the cartmega.com items. All these intellectual property rights are reserved. You will not copy, distribute, modify or make derivative works of any of our CARTMEGA items or use any of our intellectual property in any way not expressly stated in these terms.
Copyright, trademark and intellectual property claims:
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that an item infringes an intellectual property right (including copyright) please contact us.
Disclaimer:
When the item involved is a software product the following disclaimer is applicable unless otherwise stated within the software itself:
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

- You are licensed to use the Product to create one single End Product for yourself or for one client (a "single application"), and the End Product may be Sold.
-
An End Product is one of the following things, both requiring an application of skill and effort.
- For a Product that is a template/plugin/extension/module, the End Product is the installation of a customized implementation of the Product. For example, the Product is an e-shop Extension and the End Product is the installation and configuration of the Product to some specifications.
- For other types of Product, an End Product is something that incorporates the Product as well as other things, so that it is larger in scope and different in nature than the Product. For example, the Product is an e-shop Extension and the End Product is the finished e-shop.
- For other types of Product, an End Product is something that incorporates only the configuration changes made by the Product BUT MUST NOT incorporate the Product itself, so that it is different in nature than the Product.

What you are allowed to do with the Product - You can create the End Product for a client, and this license is then transferred from you to your client if the End Product incorporates our Product.
- You can Sell and make any number of copies of the single End Product.
-
You can modify or manipulate the Product. You can combine the Product with other works and make a derivative work from it. The resulting works are subject to the terms of this license. You can do these things as long as the End Product you then create is one that's permitted under the 'End Product' clause above.
What you are not allowed to do with the Product - This license is a "single application" license and not a "multi-use" license, which means that you can't use the Product to create more than one unique End Product.
- The Product or any part of the whole Product, with or without modification, with or without incorporation in another product, may not be resold, redistributed or otherwise conveyed to any third party. This includes directly or indirectly licensing, sub-licensing, selling, reselling or offering the purchased Product free of charge or swapping it for other products.

You can't use the Product in any application/service allowing an end user to customise a digital or physical product to their specific needs, such as an "on demand", "made to order" or "build it yourself" application/service. You can use the Product in this way only if you purchase a separate license for each final product incorporating the Product that is created using the application/service.
Examples of "on demand", "made to order" or "build it yourself" applications/services: website builders, "create your own" slideshow apps, and e-card generators. You will need one license for each final product created by a customer, or contact us to discuss. - You cannot extract and use component items, or any part of the whole product. You must not permit an end user of the End Product to do so or even extract the Product and use it separately from the End Product.

Software Incompatibilities:

In such cases:
- we also warrant to you that we will do our utmost to fix the problem and ensure that your Cartmega item will function as stated.
- you also warrant to us that you will do your utmost to assist Cartmega in our remedial efforts, providing us with the necessary access to the system in question (file system, database access, relevant passwords and/or anything else required by Cartmega in this endeavor).

6. MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
Grace Period:
The grace period for requesting a refund is 30 days.
If you are unsatisfied with your purchase from Cartmega for any reason, you have a Grace Period from the date of your receiving the product to request a full refund. You may return any item purchased on Cartmega in accordance with the terms below, excluding the purchase or renewal of any Cartmega paid services, which are subject to our Terms of Use.
7. REFUND POLICY
Given the nature of digital content, a refund or credit on a purchase is not granted unless one of the warranties given by CARTMEGA in the 'Warranties we make'/'Software Incompatibilities' section has been breached (as in the case where a software incompatibility cannot be rectified), or a refund is required under relevant consumer protection laws.
We will assess refund or credit requests (if you have a cartmega.com account) on their merits, considering the digital nature of cartmega.com items.
There is generally no obligation to provide a refund or credit in situations like the following:
- you have changed your mind about an item;
- you bought an item by mistake;
- you do not have sufficient expertise to use the item;
- you ask for goodwill; or
- you can no longer access the item because it has been removed (we advise you to download items as soon as you buy them to avoid this situation).
To qualify for a refund, all the following conditions must be met:
A return authorization must be requested within the Grace Period from the date of your receiving the product. To request a return authorization you must login to your account and fill in the relevant returns form.
Disputes lodged with payment agents:
If, as a buyer via your cartmega.com account, you lodge a dispute with a payment agent, this will result in a freezing of your cartmega.com account until the dispute raised with the payment agent has been cancelled. This makes it very complex to resolve any related issues, and means we cannot make payments or issue refunds out of your cartmega.com account, so we encourage buyers to contact us directly first to see if we can help resolve any concerns.
If we decide to issue a refund or credit:
- you warrant to us that you will immediately uninstall and delete all files and copies of files relating to the Cartmega item from all hardware where you may have stored or installed it.
- the refund will generally be done using the same manner used to make the purchase. So if the item was purchased using a particular payment method you will be refunded using the same payment method in reverse. Any payment made to you will be made in EUR Euro.
8. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Cartmega does not warrant that the operation of the Product will be uninterrupted or error-free.
This Limited Product Warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the Product that was purchased from Cartmega or from an authorized reseller or sales channel.
No Cartmega reseller, distributor, agent or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to this Limited Product Warranty.
