Third-Party Services
General: The Service may involve or rely on third-party service providers to facilitate certain functions, including but not limited to payment processing, hosting, infrastructure, analytics, communications, and marketing.
Merchant of Record and Payment Processing: All payments for Digital Products are processed by an independent third-party merchant of record (“MoR”).

- the MoR may collect, process, and store your personal and payment information in accordance with its own terms and privacy practices;
- and your purchase is subject to the MoR’s applicable terms, conditions, and policies.
We do not store or process your payment card details. While we rely on the MoR for transaction processing and are not directly responsible for their internal system failures, we will make reasonable, good-faith efforts to assist you in resolving any payment processing errors or delays caused by the MoR that prevent you from accessing your purchased Digital Product.
Supporting Service Providers: The Service also relies on third-party providers for hosting, infrastructure, website functionality, analytics, and communication tools. These providers may process limited technical or usage data as necessary to operate and improve the Service. Such providers act as independent service providers and are not under our control.

These services may use cookies, tracking technologies, or similar mechanisms in accordance with applicable laws and our Cookie Notice and Privacy Notice.
No Responsibility for Third-Party Services: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we make no representations or warranties regarding any third-party services and shall not be liable for:
the availability, performance, or security of such services;

- the handling of your data by such third parties.
Your interactions with any third-party services are governed solely by the terms and policies of those third parties.
