The Product, including but not limited to its source code, design, layout, visual elements, icons, graphics, text content, user interface, and overall structure, is and remains the exclusive intellectual property of Total Design Labs (operating as The Gilded Registry) and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

• Operating system changes or reinstallation

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE GILDED REGISTRY, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Product, including but not limited to:

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

8. International Use

The Product is available for purchase worldwide and supports multiple languages and currencies to serve an international user base. However, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Product complies with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations in your jurisdiction
• The Product was not designed to comply with the specific legal or regulatory requirements of any particular country, region, or jurisdiction beyond general international best practices
• Tax calculations, budget categories, and financial features are provided for organizational purposes only and do not constitute tax advice or compliance tools
• Currency conversion and display features are for planning convenience and may not reflect current exchange rates

If you access or use the Product from outside the jurisdiction in which it was originally published, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.

9. Refund Policy

The Product is a digital item sold through the Etsy marketplace. Due to the nature of digital products, which can be copied and retained after download, the following refund terms apply:

• Refund eligibility is governed by Etsy's Refund Policy for digital items
• We encourage you to review all product descriptions, screenshots, and documentation prior to purchase
• If you experience a technical issue that prevents the Product from functioning, please contact us before requesting a refund so that we may attempt to resolve the issue

We are committed to customer satisfaction. If you believe you are entitled to a refund under applicable consumer protection law, please contact us and we will work with you in good faith.

10. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document.

Because the Product operates entirely offline after download, we have no mechanism to push updates or notifications to existing users. It is your responsibility to periodically review the current version of these Terms, which will be available on our product listing and associated web pages.

Your continued use of the Product after any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must discontinue use of the Product.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

11.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. This choice of law does not deprive consumers of the protection afforded by the mandatory consumer protection laws of their country of residence.

11.2 Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Product, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith informal negotiation. Either party may initiate this process by providing written notice to the other party describing the nature and basis of the dispute.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiation within thirty (30) days of the initial notice, either party may pursue resolution through binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and shall take place remotely via videoconference unless both parties agree to an in-person venue.

11.3 Consumer Rights

Nothing in this section shall limit your rights as a consumer under applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation, including but not limited to:

• The right to bring claims in your local courts as provided under EU Regulation 1215/2012 (for EU/EEA residents)
• Rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 (for UK residents)
• Rights under the Australian Consumer Law (for Australian residents)

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms, and all remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

The parties agree that the court or arbitrator making such a determination shall endeavour to give effect to the original intent of the provision to the greatest extent consistent with applicable law.

Introduction & Commitment to Privacy

Welcome to the privacy policy for The Gilded Registry, a wedding planning application sold through Etsy and designed to run entirely within your web browser.

This privacy policy explains how the application handles information, what data exists, where it is stored, and what rights you have under various international privacy frameworks. We believe in complete transparency, even when — especially when — there is very little to disclose.

The Gilded Registry is available in eight languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Indonesian, and Dutch) and is sold to customers worldwide. This policy is written to address privacy regulations across all jurisdictions in which the product is available.

Data Controller Information

For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, the data controller is:

Total Design Labs (operating as The Gilded Registry)
Website: www.totaldesignlabs.com
Product page: gildedregistry.totaldesignlabs.com
Email: [email protected]

If you have questions or concerns about this privacy policy or your data, please contact us using the details above or through Etsy messaging.

What Data the App Processes

The Gilded Registry allows you to enter and manage information related to your wedding planning. The types of data you may choose to enter include:

• Wedding event details (date, venue name, ceremony and reception information)
• Guest names, RSVP statuses, meal preferences, and table assignments
• Budget categories, estimated costs, actual expenses, and vendor names
• Task lists, timelines, and scheduling details
• Notes and personal preferences
• Partner names and wedding party member names

All of this information is entered voluntarily by you and processed exclusively within your web browser. None of this data is transmitted to any server, cloud service, or third party. The application has no network communication capabilities for user data.

How Data is Stored

The Gilded Registry stores all user-entered data exclusively in your browser's localStorage, under the key weddingPlanner. localStorage is a standard web browser feature that saves data directly on your device — your computer, tablet, or phone.

Key characteristics of this storage approach:

• Device-local only: Data exists solely on the device and browser where you use the application. It is never copied elsewhere automatically.
• No server involvement: There is no server, database, or cloud storage associated with this application. We have no infrastructure that could receive or store your data.
• Browser-specific: Data saved in one browser (e.g., Chrome) is not accessible from another browser (e.g., Firefox) on the same device, nor from the same browser on a different device.
• Persistent until cleared: Data remains in localStorage until you explicitly clear it through the app, clear your browser data, or uninstall your browser.

Data We Do NOT Collect

To be explicitly clear about our data practices, The Gilded Registry does not collect, transmit, store, or process any of the following:

• Personal identification data: No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses are collected by us
• Analytics or usage data: No page views, click tracking, session duration, or behavioral analytics
• Cookies: The application sets no cookies of any kind — no session cookies, no tracking cookies, no preference cookies
• Device information: No device identifiers, browser fingerprints, IP addresses, or hardware specifications
• Location data: No geolocation, GPS coordinates, or location inference
• Third-party tracking: No advertising pixels, social media trackers, or marketing beacons
• Server-side storage: No databases, logs, or server records of any kind related to your usage
• Account information: No user accounts, passwords, or authentication credentials
• Financial data: No payment processing occurs within the application (your purchase was handled entirely by Etsy)

External Resources

The main wedding planner application (The_Gilded_Registry.html) makes zero external network requests. All fonts, styles, and scripts are self-contained within the file.

The accompanying user guide (README.html) loads web fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When you open the guide page, your browser makes a request to Google's servers to retrieve font files. This request may expose:

• Your IP address (to Google's font servers)
• Your browser's user agent string
• The referring page URL

This is a standard browser behavior that occurs with millions of websites. Google states that Google Fonts requests are not used for tracking and that no cookies are sent with font requests. You can review Google's privacy policy for their Fonts service at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy.

If you prefer to avoid this external request, you can simply use the wedding planner application directly without opening the guide, or open the guide while offline (the page will function normally with fallback system fonts).

Backup Files

The Gilded Registry includes a backup/export feature that allows you to save your wedding planning data as a .json file. Important details about this feature:

• User-initiated only: Backups are created only when you explicitly choose to export your data.
• Saved locally: The exported file is saved to your device's downloads folder or a location you choose. It is not uploaded anywhere.
• Your responsibility: Once exported, the backup file is under your sole control. You decide where to store it, whether to share it, and when to delete it.
• Contains your data: The backup file includes all data you have entered into the planner in a readable JSON format. Treat it with the same care you would give any personal document.

We recommend storing backup files in a secure location and being mindful when sharing them, as they may contain names, budget details, and other personal wedding planning information.

Data Sharing with Partners

The Gilded Registry has no automatic data-sharing functionality. We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your data to any third party because we do not have access to your data.

If you choose to share your wedding planning data with a partner, wedding coordinator, or other person, this would be done manually by you — for example, by sharing an exported backup file or by giving someone access to your device. Any such sharing is entirely your decision and under your control.

We have:

• No data-sharing agreements with third parties
• No advertising partners
• No data brokers or resellers
• No analytics providers
• No social media integrations that transmit data

Data Retention & Deletion

You have complete control over your data's lifecycle:

• Retention: Data persists in your browser's localStorage for as long as you choose to keep it there. There is no automatic expiration.
• Deletion within the app: You can clear individual sections or all data using the app's built-in reset or clear functions.
• Deletion via browser: You can delete all application data by clearing your browser's localStorage or site data for the file's origin.
• Complete removal: Clearing your browser data, resetting your browser, or uninstalling your browser will permanently remove all application data.

Because we never receive or store your data on any server, there is no need to submit a deletion request to us. You can delete your data instantly and completely at any time without contacting anyone.

Children's Privacy

The Gilded Registry is a wedding planning tool intended for adults who are planning a wedding or similar event. It is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).

Because our application collects no data whatsoever — from any user of any age — there is no risk of inadvertent collection of children's personal information. No data is transmitted from the application to any server, regardless of who uses it.

This approach is consistent with the requirements of the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU's General Data Protection Regulation provisions regarding children (Article 8), the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, and similar legislation worldwide.

Your Rights Under GDPR (EU/EEA Users)

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you are protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access (Article 15): You have the right to obtain confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is being processed. In our case, we process no personal data on any server or system — all data remains on your device.
• Right to rectification (Article 16): You can correct any data directly within the application at any time, as you have full edit access to all stored information.
• Right to erasure (Article 17): You can delete all data immediately by clearing your browser's localStorage. No request to us is necessary.
• Right to restriction of processing (Article 18): Since processing occurs only on your device, you control all processing by choosing when and how to use the application.
• Right to data portability (Article 20): The export/backup feature provides your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (JSON).
• Right to object (Article 21): There is no processing to object to, as we perform no data processing on our end.

Legal basis for processing: To the extent that any processing occurs (exclusively on your device), the legal basis is your explicit action of entering data into the application — effectively, performance of the contract under which you purchased and use the software (Article 6(1)(b)).

Data transfers: No data is transferred outside your device, so no cross-border data transfer issues arise from the application itself. The Google Fonts request in the README page involves a transfer to Google's servers (see Section 6 above).

If you believe your rights have been infringed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

If you are located in the United Kingdom, your data protection rights are governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (as incorporated into UK law by the Data Protection Act 2018 and the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018).

Your rights under the UK GDPR mirror those described in the GDPR section above, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. The same practical outcomes apply: because your data never leaves your device, you exercise all of these rights directly and without needing to contact us.

The relevant supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). If you have concerns about data protection, you may contact the ICO at https://ico.org.uk.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA (California Users)

If you are a California resident, you are protected by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These laws grant you specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to know: You have the right to know what personal information is collected. We collect no personal information.
• Right to delete: You have the right to request deletion of personal information. Since all data is on your device, you can delete it directly at any time.
• Right to opt out of sale/sharing: We do not sell or share personal information with third parties. There is no data to sell or share.
• Right to non-discrimination: We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.
• Right to correct: You can correct any information directly within the application.
• Right to limit use of sensitive personal information: We do not collect sensitive personal information.

Categories of personal information collected in the preceding 12 months: None.

Categories of personal information sold or shared in the preceding 12 months: None.

Categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose: None.

Because we collect no personal information, there is no need to submit a verifiable consumer request. However, if you have questions, you may contact us at the email address provided in this policy.

Your Rights Under LGPD (Brazilian Users)

If you are located in Brazil, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD, Law No. 13,709/2018) provides you with the following rights regarding personal data:

• Confirmation of processing: We confirm that no personal data processing occurs on our systems.
• Access to data: All data is accessible directly on your device within the application.
• Correction of incomplete or inaccurate data: You may edit any data within the application at any time.
• Anonymization, blocking, or deletion: You control all data and may delete it at any time by clearing browser storage.
• Data portability: The JSON export feature provides full data portability.
• Deletion of personal data: Achievable instantly through browser settings or in-app controls.
• Information about sharing: No data is shared with any public or private entities.
• Information about consent denial: No consent is required because no data collection occurs.
• Revocation of consent: You may stop using the application and delete your data at any time.

The relevant authority is the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD). If you have concerns, you may contact the ANPD.

Your Rights Under the Australian Privacy Act

If you are located in Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) govern how organizations handle personal information. Key principles relevant to this application:

• APP 1 (Open and transparent management): This privacy policy provides transparency about our practices. Our practice is simply that we do not collect personal information.
• APP 3 (Collection of personal information): We do not collect personal information from you. All data you enter remains on your device.
• APP 5 (Notification of collection): As we do not collect personal information, no collection notification is required. We provide this policy for transparency.
• APP 6 (Use or disclosure): We do not use or disclose personal information because we do not hold any.
• APP 8 (Cross-border disclosure): No personal information is disclosed to overseas recipients by the application.
• APP 11 (Security): Data security is maintained through the localStorage architecture, keeping data exclusively on your device.
• APP 12 (Access): You have immediate, direct access to all your data within the application.
• APP 13 (Correction): You can correct any data directly within the application at any time.

If you have a complaint, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at https://www.oaic.gov.au.

Your Rights Under PIPEDA (Canadian Users)

If you are located in Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) — and any applicable provincial privacy legislation — provides you with rights regarding your personal information. Under PIPEDA's ten fair information principles:

• Accountability: We are responsible for personal information under our control. In practice, no personal information is under our control — it remains on your device.
• Identifying purposes: The purpose of any data you enter is wedding planning, and it is used solely by you on your device.
• Consent: Your use of the application constitutes consent for local storage on your device. No further consent is needed as no data is transmitted.
• Limiting collection: We collect no personal information whatsoever.
• Limiting use, disclosure, and retention: Data is used only for the purpose you choose (wedding planning) and is retained only as long as you keep it in your browser.
• Accuracy: You maintain accuracy by directly editing your data at any time.
• Safeguards: Data is protected by your browser's built-in security mechanisms and your device's own security.
• Openness: This privacy policy provides complete transparency about our practices.
• Individual access: You have immediate, unrestricted access to all your data.
• Challenging compliance: If you have concerns, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Your Rights Under the Indonesian PDP Law

If you are located in Indonesia, Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (UU PDP) grants you rights over your personal data. Under this law:

• Right to information: You have the right to obtain information about the processing of your personal data. We inform you that no personal data processing occurs on our systems.
• Right to access: All data is stored on your device and accessible to you directly at all times.
• Right to correct: You can correct any data within the application immediately.
• Right to delete: You may delete all data by clearing your browser's localStorage at any time.
• Right to withdraw consent: You may cease using the application and delete your data at any time without consequence.
• Right to object: As no processing occurs on our end, there is nothing to object to.
• Right to data portability: The JSON export feature provides your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You may raise concerns with the relevant Indonesian government authority overseeing personal data protection.

International Data Considerations

The Gilded Registry is sold to customers worldwide through Etsy. Regardless of where you are located, the privacy protections described in this policy apply equally to all users.

Because your data never leaves your device, there are no cross-border data transfers initiated by the application. Specifically:

• No data is transferred between countries
• No data is stored in jurisdictions other than where your device physically resides
• No adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, or Binding Corporate Rules are necessary because no international data flows occur
• No data is processed in countries with different privacy standards

The one exception is the Google Fonts request made by the README page, which routes through Google's global infrastructure. This is limited to fetching font files and does not involve your wedding planning data.

If your jurisdiction has specific privacy requirements not addressed in this policy, please contact us and we will provide relevant information.

Security

The Gilded Registry's architecture provides inherent security advantages: since your data never traverses a network, it cannot be intercepted in transit, exposed in a data breach of our servers (we have none), or accessed by unauthorized third parties through our systems.

However, localStorage has its own security considerations that you should be aware of:

• No encryption at rest: localStorage data is not encrypted by default. Anyone with physical access to your device and browser may be able to view the stored data.
• Shared device risks: If you share your computer with others, they may be able to access your wedding planning data through the browser's developer tools or by opening the application.
• Browser vulnerabilities: While modern browsers implement strong same-origin security policies that prevent other websites from accessing your localStorage data, keeping your browser updated is important.
• Malware: Malicious software on your device could potentially access localStorage data. Maintaining good device security practices protects against this.

Our Security Recommendations

• Keep your web browser updated to the latest version
• Use your device's built-in security features (screen lock, user accounts, disk encryption)
• If using a shared device, consider clearing the application data when you are finished
• Store backup files in a secure, private location
• Be cautious about who has physical access to your device
• Use your operating system's user account system to prevent unauthorized access

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, best practices, or minor adjustments to our product. Given the nature of our application — a locally-running, zero-data-collection tool — significant changes to this policy are unlikely.

When we update this policy:

• The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised
• Updated policies will be included with new versions of the product
• Material changes will be noted in our Etsy product listing updates

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the application after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Contact Information

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this privacy policy or your data, you may contact us through:

• Email: [email protected]
• Website: www.totaldesignlabs.com
• Etsy: Message us through our Etsy shop

We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 30 days. For requests made under specific privacy legislation that mandates shorter response times, we will comply with the applicable statutory deadline.

This product is a personal organizational tool and does not constitute professional advice of any kind.

• Professional wedding planning services: This tool does not replace the expertise, judgment, or services of a professional wedding planner or event coordinator.
• Financial advice: Budget tracking features are organizational aids only. They do not constitute financial planning, accounting, or tax advice. Users should consult qualified financial professionals for financial decisions.
• Legal advice: No content within this application constitutes legal counsel. Users should seek qualified legal professionals for any legal questions related to marriage, contracts, or vendor agreements.
• Dietary or medical advice: Guest meal preference tracking is for organizational purposes only and does not replace professional dietary, allergy, or medical guidance.

5. Product Availability

The Gilded Registry is a digital product distributed internationally through the Etsy marketplace. It is delivered as a single HTML file that operates entirely within the user's web browser.

The product:

• Does not require an internet connection after initial download (except for font loading, which falls back to system fonts)

While the product is available for purchase in multiple countries, it may not address jurisdiction-specific requirements for wedding planning (such as local legal requirements for marriage ceremonies, jurisdiction-specific vendor contract norms, or region-specific customs).

6. Accuracy of Information

The publisher makes reasonable efforts to ensure that all features of the application function correctly and that any informational content is accurate at the time of publication. However, no warranty or guarantee is made regarding:

• The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any pre-populated content, checklists, or timeline suggestions
• The mathematical precision of budget calculations beyond standard floating-point arithmetic
• The suitability of suggested planning timelines for any particular event or jurisdiction
• The continued compatibility with future browser versions or operating system updates

Budget calculations provided by this tool are organizational aids intended to help users track estimated costs. They are not substitutes for professional accounting, do not account for taxes, service charges, or fees unless manually entered by the user, and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for financial decisions. Users are strongly encouraged to maintain independent financial records and consult with qualified professionals.

The publisher reserves the right to release updated versions of the product to correct errors or improve functionality. Purchasers will be notified of significant updates through Etsy's digital delivery mechanisms where available.

7. Consumer Rights by Region

As an internationally distributed digital product, the following consumer protection frameworks may apply depending on your jurisdiction of residence. Nothing in this legal notice limits or excludes any mandatory consumer rights that cannot be excluded by law.

7.1 European Union — Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU)

Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive, consumers purchasing digital content have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of purchase without giving any reason (the "cooling-off period").

However, in accordance with Article 16(m) of the Directive, the right of withdrawal may be lost for contracts for the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if:

• The consumer has given prior express consent to begin performance during the withdrawal period;
• The consumer has acknowledged that they will lose their right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed; and
• The trader has provided confirmation of the consumer's consent and acknowledgment.

Where the product is delivered as an immediate digital download through Etsy's platform, consumers are informed that by initiating the download, they consent to immediate performance and acknowledge the loss of the right of withdrawal. If you have not downloaded or accessed the file, you may be eligible for a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Refund requests should be directed through Etsy's resolution system.

Consumers in the EU retain all rights under the Digital Content Directive (2019/770/EU), including the right to conformity of digital content. If the product does not conform to the contract (e.g., it does not function as described), the consumer has the right to have the digital content brought into conformity free of charge within a reasonable time.

7.2 United Kingdom — Consumer Rights Act 2015

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for a particular purpose, and as described. If digital content does not meet these standards, UK consumers have the following rights:

• Right to repair or replacement: The trader must repair or replace the faulty digital content within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience.
• Right to a price reduction: If repair or replacement is not possible, or fails to bring the content into conformity, the consumer may be entitled to a price reduction of up to 100%.

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day cancellation period for digital content purchases. This right is lost once the consumer consents to immediate download and acknowledges the loss of cancellation rights.

Nothing in this legal notice excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

7.3 Australia — Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010)

Under the Australian Consumer Law, consumer guarantees apply to digital products. These guarantees cannot be excluded by contract. Specifically:

• The product must be of acceptable quality;
• The product must be fit for any purpose the consumer made known to the seller;
• The product must match any description made by the seller;
• The consumer has a right to a remedy (repair, replacement, or refund) if the product fails to meet a consumer guarantee.

For major failures, the consumer may choose a refund or replacement. For minor failures, the seller may choose to provide a free repair within a reasonable time. If the seller fails to provide a remedy, the consumer may seek a remedy from the manufacturer or pursue other legal remedies.

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

7.4 United States — FTC Guidelines

This product is sold in compliance with applicable U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines for digital products. In accordance with FTC regulations:

• All product descriptions accurately represent the product's features and functionality;
• No misleading claims are made regarding the product's capabilities;
• The product listing clearly identifies this as a digital download product;
• Pricing is transparently displayed prior to purchase.

U.S. consumers should note that digital product refund policies are governed by the marketplace's (Etsy's) terms of service, as well as applicable state consumer protection statutes. Some states provide additional protections for digital goods. Consumers with unresolved disputes may file complaints with the FTC or their state attorney general's office.

This product does not automatically renew, does not require a subscription, and involves no recurring charges.

7.5 Brazil — Consumer Defence Code (Codigo de Defesa do Consumidor, CDC)

Brazilian consumers are protected by the Consumer Defence Code (Law No. 8,078/1990). Under the CDC:

• Consumers have the right to clear and adequate information about the product in Portuguese;
• For purchases made outside of a commercial establishment (including online purchases), consumers have the right to withdraw from the contract within 7 days of receipt or purchase (Article 49), with a full refund of any amounts paid;
• Products must be fit for their intended purpose and free from defects that render them inadequate for use;
• The supplier is liable for defects in the product regardless of fault (strict liability under Articles 12-14).

The 7-day withdrawal right (direito de arrependimento) applies to this product as it is purchased through an online marketplace. This right may be exercised without the need to provide justification.

7.6 Indonesia — Consumer Protection Law (Law No. 8 of 1999)

Indonesian consumers are protected under Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection (Undang-Undang Perlindungan Konsumen). Under this law:

• Consumers have the right to comfort, security, and safety in using goods or services;
• Consumers have the right to accurate, clear, and honest information regarding the condition and guarantee of goods and services;
• Consumers have the right to compensation if goods or services do not conform to the agreement or are not as they should be;
• Business actors are prohibited from producing or trading goods or services that do not meet standards or requirements as stipulated by law.

Disputes may be resolved through the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (Badan Penyelesaian Sengketa Konsumen, BPSK) or through the courts.

7.7 Canada — Consumer Protection Legislation

Canadian consumers are protected by both federal and provincial consumer protection legislation. Key protections include:

• Under the Competition Act (federal), product representations must be truthful and not misleading;
• Provincial consumer protection statutes (such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002, British Columbia's Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, and Quebec's Consumer Protection Act) provide additional protections including cooling-off periods for certain types of contracts;
• Digital products must conform to their description and be of merchantable quality;
• Quebec consumers benefit from additional protections under civil law, including warranty of quality and the prohibition of unfair contract terms.

Canadian consumers with complaints may contact their provincial consumer protection office or the Competition Bureau of Canada.
