3DIMLI Refund Policy
Last updated: March 20, 2025
Effective Date: March 20, 2025
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: We do 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 are between the Buyer and the individual Seller.
Since all products sold on our platform are digital in nature, we have established specific refund policies to ensure fairness for both Buyers and Sellers while protecting the integrity of digital commerce. Please review this refund policy carefully before making any purchase.
