Refund Policy

01Overview

Carnies sells finished digital products only — downloadable code templates, UI kits, illustration and icon packs, and Notion, Canva, and Figma templates. This Refund Policy explains the specific circumstances in which we will issue a refund, the steps required to request one, and the limits that apply to refunds for digital goods that have already been delivered.

Because digital products are delivered electronically — typically with an immediate download or instant account access — the scope for refunding a delivered digital product is narrower than for a physical good. We have set out the available refund routes below in plain terms so that nothing is implied that this Policy does not deliver. Nothing in this Policy removes or limits any statutory right you have under UAE Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 on Consumer Protection.

All transactions on this Site are billed in UAE Dirhams (AED). An electronic purchase invoice is issued for every completed order and remains available for download from your account, in line with DET E-Trader requirements.

02One-Time Digital Purchases

For one-time purchases of downloadable assets (code templates, UI kits, illustration and icon packs, Notion and Canva templates, Figma files, and similar):

• Refundable within fourteen (14) days of purchase, provided the digital asset has not been downloaded.
• Refundable within fourteen (14) days of purchase if the asset is materially defective or substantially different from the product page description, regardless of download status.
• Not refundable after the asset has been downloaded, except for material defect or substantial misdescription. This is consistent with the digital-content carve-out recognised across UAE and international consumer law for fully-delivered digital goods.

03Subscription Products

For subscription-based products or memberships, when offered:

• You may cancel any active subscription from your account at any time. Cancellation stops future renewals; access remains active to the end of the current billing cycle.
• If you cancel within fourteen (14) days of your most recent renewal AND you have not made substantive use of the service in that billing cycle, we will refund the unused portion of the cycle.
• Annual plans cancelled mid-term qualify for a refund of unused full months only, not partial months.
• Free trials may be cancelled at any time before the trial ends, at which point no charge is taken.

04Defective or Non-Functional Products

If a product is materially defective, non-functional, or substantially different from its product page description, you are entitled to a full refund — regardless of download status, time of purchase, or amount of use — OR a fixed re-delivery if you prefer. Please describe the defect when contacting us so we can verify and resolve it.

05Promotional and Lifetime-Discount Purchases

Where we are permitted to run limited-period promotions, lifetime discounts, or bundled pricing with separate refund terms, the promotion-specific terms will be clearly disclosed at checkout and will control over the general terms of this Policy for that purchase.

06How to Request a Refund

Email [email protected] with: (a) your order number; (b) the email used at checkout; and (c) a brief description of the reason. We will acknowledge your request within two (2) business days and resolve straightforward requests within five (5) business days, or sooner where required by law. If we need further information, we will say so when we acknowledge.

07Processing Time and Method

All refunds are issued in UAE Dirhams (AED), the base currency of all transactions on this Site. Approved refunds are returned via our payment service provider to the original payment method used at checkout. Refunds typically appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your card issuer. We do not issue refunds by alternative method (for example, store credit) unless you specifically request it.

08Currency and Foreign Exchange

Refunds are issued in the currency of the original transaction. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations between the date of purchase and the date of refund are determined by your card issuer and are not compensated by Carnies.

09Chargebacks

If you have a concern about a purchase, please contact us at [email protected] first. We can usually resolve issues faster than your card issuer's chargeback process.

Chargebacks initiated without first contacting us may, at our discretion, result in temporary suspension of access to the related account pending resolution. Access is reinstated once the chargeback is closed and the underlying matter is resolved.

10Statutory Rights

Nothing in this Policy limits or removes any statutory consumer right you have under UAE Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 on Consumer Protection and Cabinet Resolution No. 66 of 2023 (its Executive Regulations), or under any other mandatory consumer-protection law that applies to you.

11Escalation

If you are not satisfied with our resolution, you may escalate your complaint to the Dubai Consumer Protection Department, a unit of the Department of Economy and Tourism: consumerrights.ae · 600 545555 · [email protected].
