Return and Refund

At PawBuddy, every order is made-to-order, carefully customized, and hand-edited with love. Because our products are personalized, we handle returns and refunds differently for digital files and physical products. Please review the details below.

1. Digital File Orders

General Policy

Each digital artwork is custom-made and delivered electronically. Because digital files cannot be physically returned, we do not accept returns once the file has been delivered.

That said, your satisfaction is very important to us - if something goes wrong, we’ll make it right.

Eligible for Replacements or Refunds

We will offer a free redo or a full refund if:
- The file you received does not match your order confirmation.
- A technical issue on our side makes the file incomplete, corrupted, or unusable
- A personalization error was made by our team (for example, incorrect name, wrong design, or misplaced pet image, even though you provided accurate information).

How to Request Support

1. Contact us at support@yourpawbuddy.com within 30 days of file delivery.
2. Include your order number and a screenshot or clear description of the issue.
3. Our team will review your request and respond within 1–3 business days.

Non-Refundable Situations

Refunds or replacements will not be issued for:
- Incorrect personalization details provided by the customer (e.g., misspelled name, wrong style selected).
- The file matches your approved order, with only minor color variations due to device or screen differences.
- The request is made after the 30-day window.
- Change of mind or cancellation after the artwork has been delivered.
