Refund Policy
Our Approach to Refunds
At Flart Studio, customer satisfaction is important to us. We stand behind the quality of our products and provide active technical support to resolve any issues you may encounter.
Because our products are digital downloads delivered immediately upon purchase, refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are subject to the conditions described below.
Before Requesting a Refund
We strongly encourage you to contact our support team first before requesting a refund. Most issues can be resolved quickly:
- Compatibility questions — we'll help verify your environment meets the requirements
- Installation problems — we provide installation assistance
- Technical bugs — we typically release fixes within days
- Feature questions — we'll clarify functionality before you commit

Most refund requests are resolved through support without the need for a refund.

EU Consumer Rights
Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), customers in the European Union have the right to withdraw from a digital purchase within 14 days.
Important — Right of Withdrawal Waiver for Digital Downloads:
By initiating the download of a digital product immediately after purchase, you expressly acknowledge that:
- The performance of the contract begins immediately upon download

This waiver is consistent with standard practice for digital downloads across the European Union.
Notwithstanding this waiver, Flart Studio may, at its sole discretion, grant refunds in the specific circumstances described in the "Eligibility for Refund" section above.
