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.

- 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)
- Rights under the Canadian Consumer Protection Acts (for Canadian residents)
- Rights under Indonesia's Consumer Protection Law No. 8 of 1999 (for Indonesian residents)

13. Severability
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.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms or policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Total Design Labs (operating as The Gilded Registry) with respect to your use of the Product. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, representations, understandings, and agreements, whether written or oral, between you and Total Design Labs regarding the Product.
No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
