14. Buying Products

When you buy a Product, you acquire a license to use that Product.

Products are subject to different terms of use – depending on the type of license that you choose when buying the Product.

Depending on the use you want to make of a Product, you will need to select the correct license required by you. You are responsible for choosing, and warrant that you have chosen, the correct license to meet your requirements.

If you buy a Product, you do so on the following terms:

  4. ownership of the Product remains with the Seller;
  5. the Product may not be re-sold by the Buyer; and
  6. payment of the fee will be made at the time of download by deduction from your Member Ledger.

You acknowledge and agree that despite XStockvideo’s reasonable precautions, Products may be listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to a typographical error or similar oversight. In these circumstances, XStockvideo reserves the right to cancel or reverse a transaction, even after your order has been confirmed and a payment has been processed. If a transaction is cancelled, XStockvideo will immediately arrange for any payment to be refunded.

Due to the digital nature of the Products offered for sale at the Sites, we maintain a “no refunds” policy for Products which can be previewed by the Buyers (such as audio and graphics). A Buyer may make a claim for refund if a Product is one that cannot be previewed (such as WordPress themes, Adobe After Effect Projects, applications) and the Buyer asserts that the Product is not as described, or is broken or is corrupt. The deadline for a Buyer making any refund claim is 30 calendar days after purchase and this claim must be made trough the contact form. We will verify the validity of the claim before a refund is approved.
