Last Updated 6 April 2025

This document sets out the terms and conditions (“Terms”) applicable to the purchase and use of website templates (“Templates”) created and sold by Brightfolk Studio Pty Ltd (ABN 18674482467) (“Brightfolk Studio”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By purchasing, downloading, or using a Template, you (“you”, “customer”, or “user”) agree to these Terms. These Terms form part of Brightfolk Studio’s broader Terms & Conditions and are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.

1. Scope of Licence

Each Template is licensed to a single user for use in one (1) website only. Your purchase provides a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive licence to use the Template for your personal or business website, or a client project (if you are a designer).

You may not:

2. Payment & Delivery

Templates are sold via:

  • One-off payment; or

  • Payment plan, with up to 6 monthly instalments.

Access to the Template is provided upon receipt of payment (or first instalment, if applicable). Full payment is required even if you do not complete the setup or installation of the Template. Access may be revoked for non-payment or payment reversal.

Late payments may result in suspended access to future support or template updates.

3. Refunds & Australian Consumer Law

As Templates are digital and delivered instantly, we do not offer refunds for change of mind, personal dislike, or incorrect purchase. However, we will comply with all obligations under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). If the Template is faulty, not as described, or fails to function as promised, you are entitled to a replacement, repair, or refund.

To request a remedy under the ACL, please contact us at hello@brightfolk.studio within a reasonable time of purchase.
