How buying items works

13. What you’re buying:
14. License: When you buyan item, you acquire the right to use that item; you’re not actually acquiring the item itself. What you get includes a license directly from the vendor to use that item. Items are subject to specific terms of use, and these terms are the ‘license’ that we set on Madbox. This license also applies to you if you download an item that someone else has bought for you (because anyone downloading an item needs to be a Madbox member). Different license types are available for you to choose when you have selected an item. You’ll need to think about the way you want to use the item so that you can pick the right license to allow that use. It’s your responsibility to choose the correct license.
15. The total price for an item on Madbox is made up of:
16. Item price: The item price is made up of a license fee (for the license you choose for the item), and if relevant the item support fee (for supported items).
17. Buyer fee: This is the fee for the buyer services you get from Madbox.
18. Taxes: Some transactions on Madbox may be subject to tax that may be added to the price.

Transacting as a buyer:

15. Currency conversion costs: You are responsible for all costs of currency conversion relating to a transaction on Madbox. Your financial institution does the currency conversion and may charge you additional fees (we don’t control either the conversion rates or your financial institution’s fees). This means that you may incur additional costs when purchasing from Madbox, which we have no control over.
16. Terms of buying: When you buy a Madbox item you’re doing so on the following terms:
17. you warrant to us and the vendor that you have carefully considered the suitability of your chosen license, and that you have chosen appropriately;
18. you cannot cancel a completed purchase of an item;
19. we and the vendors do not promise that any particular item will continue to be available on Madbox so you should download and save the item as soon as you buy it;
20. once you buy or download an item and the item has been paid for, you acquire a non-exclusive license to use the item under the terms set out in the license (non-exclusive means others might also license the same item);
21. the vendor retains ownership of the item;
22. your relevant details may be provided to the vendor of the item in order to facilitate the transaction, for example for invoicing and item support services; and
23. we have the right to enforce against you the terms of the license that you have acquired from an vendor.
24. they will process your data in accordance with applicable privacy law and data protection regulations.
25. Taxes:
26. Prices, fees and charges are otherwise inclusive of other applicable taxes unless stated otherwise on our site. You are responsible for paying all such taxes and imposts associated with your use of Madbox wherever levied. Your responsibility includes withholding tax if it applies, unless we already process that withholding tax. We may collect geographical location information to determine your location, which may be used for tax purposes (so location information you give us must be accurate for tax residency purposes).
27. Items with an incorrect price or incorrect information: Despite our reasonable efforts, items may occasionally be listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information. If this happens, we may cancel or reverse a transaction, even after it is completed and a payment has been processed. If we do this, we’ll promptly arrange for any payment to be credited or refunded and you must not use the item unless you re-purchase it at the correct price.

Refunds

27. Considering the digital nature of Madbox items and the type of item preview that was available before purchase. There is generally no obligation to provide a refund or credit in situations like the following:
28. you have changed your mind about an item;
29. you bought an item by mistake;
30. you do not have sufficient expertise to use the item;
31. you ask for goodwill; or
32. you can no longer access the item because it has been removed (we advise you to download items as soon as you buy them to avoid this situation).
33. If the Vendor or we decide to issue a refund, this will generally be done using the same manner used to make the purchase. So if the item was purchased using a particular payment method you will be refunded using the same payment method in reverse.

Becoming a Vendor

31. If you want to get involved as a Vendor, you can sign up and find out more here. Remember that if you become a Vendor these terms will continue to apply, along with the Vendor Terms you’ll sign up to as an vendor.

54. if that buyer promptly notifies the vendor of the claim and gives the vendor the option to control the defense of the claim (at the vendor’s cost), then the vendor will indemnify the buyer against damages finally awarded by a court against the buyer or any settlement damages agreed to by the vendor regarding that claim.
55. The liability of each vendor to their buyers is otherwise limited, for each item purchased, to the vendor ‘s earnings from the payment for that item, except to the extent that the vendor’s liability arises from wilful misrepresentations made about the item.
