Last updated: March 20, 2025 Effective Date: March 20, 2025

3DIMLI Policies License Policy

1. Introduction and Platform Overview​

Welcome to 3DIMLI, a Software as a Service (SaaS) all-in-one digital commerce platform that enables creators and businesses to start their stores as sellers and reach a global audience. Our platform exclusively supports digital product sales. Physical products are not permitted.

Important Notice:
3DIMLI does not buy, sell, or take ownership of any digital products. Our role is limited to providing software tools and infrastructure for sellers to manage and sell their digital products directly to buyers. All transactions occur strictly between the buyer and the individual seller.

Because all products on 3DIMLI are digital, this refund policy is designed to balance fairness for both buyers and sellers while protecting the integrity of digital commerce. Please review this policy carefully before making any purchase.

2. Refund Eligibility Requirements​

2.1 Primary Eligibility Criteria​

A refund request is eligible only when both conditions are met:

  1. The product has not been downloaded: the buyer has not downloaded or accessed the product files.
  2. The request is within the 7-day refund window: submitted within 7 calendar days of purchase.

Both conditions must be true. If the product has been downloaded, even within the 7-day window, the automated refund option is not available.

Pre-Download Confirmation​

Before the first download, buyers see a confirmation dialog stating:

"This purchase is final and non-refundable once confirmed."

The dialog includes a link to the full Refund Policy. Buyers must click Confirm to proceed or Cancel to keep their refund eligibility. Subsequent downloads of the same product skip this confirmation.

After Download: Contact the Seller​

If a buyer has downloaded the product but encounters issues (defective files, missing assets, misleading description, etc.), they should contact the seller directly. Sellers can manually issue refunds from the Orders tab in their seller dashboard: see Seller-Initiated Refunds below.

  • Buyers are warned before their first download via a confirmation dialog
  • For post-download issues, buyers should contact the seller directly

6.2 Seller-Initiated Refunds​

Sellers can manually issue refunds from the Orders tab in their seller dashboard, regardless of download status. This allows sellers to resolve issues directly with buyers.

How it works:

  1. Go to Inventory → Orders in the seller dashboard.
  2. Find the order and click Refund on individual items, or use Refund Order for multiple items.
  3. Choose a refund type:
    • Refund & Revoke Access: buyer receives refund and loses download access
    • Refund & Keep Access: buyer receives refund but retains download access
  4. Optionally add a refund reason (visible to the buyer).
  5. Confirm the refund.

Bulk refunds:

  • Select multiple items within an order to refund at once
  • Provide a collective reason or individual reasons per item
  • View a summary of total refund amount and remaining balance before confirming

Refunds are processed through the same payment gateway used for the original transaction (PayPal, Stripe, or Razorpay).
