Refund Policy

Effective date: 24/08/2026
Last updated: 24/08/2026
This Refund Policy applies to digital sewing patterns sold by Patterns By July through https://www.patternsbyjuly.com. Our products are downloadable digital files and are not physical goods.

1. Digital products and immediate delivery

After successful payment, your purchased pattern may be made available immediately by download, email, customer account, or another electronic delivery method. Because the product is digital and may be accessed or downloaded immediately, refunds are handled under this Policy and any mandatory consumer rights that apply to your transaction.

2. Our recommended refund standard

We generally do not provide refunds simply because a customer changes their mind after the digital pattern has been downloaded or accessed. However, we will consider refunds or other remedies where required by applicable law and in the circumstances described below.

3. When you can request a refund

• Duplicate purchase: you accidentally purchased the same pattern more than once.• Failed or materially defective delivery: the files are corrupted, incomplete or technically unusable and we cannot reasonably correct the problem.• Materially not as described: the product materially differs from the description presented at the time of purchase.• Incorrect product supplied: we delivered a different pattern from the one purchased.• Other exceptional circumstances: we may approve a discretionary refund where appropriate.

4. What is generally not refundable

• A change of mind after you have downloaded or accessed the files, except where a mandatory legal right applies.• A failure to read the product description, size chart, fabric requirements, skill level or other information that was clearly provided before purchase.• A pattern not fitting because the buyer selected the wrong size or did not follow the measurement or printing instructions.• A buyer's inability to use a particular file format, printer, paper size or sewing method when the relevant requirements were disclosed before purchase.• A pattern that does not match a buyer's personal taste or expected aesthetic, where it otherwise matches the product description.• Unauthorised sharing, redistribution or other misuse of the files.

5. How to request a refund or correction

Email [email protected] with your order number, the email address used for purchase, the product name, and a brief description of the problem. If the problem is technical, include enough information for us to investigate it. We may first offer a corrected file, replacement download or other reasonable remedy where that resolves the issue.Please contact us as soon as reasonably possible after discovering the problem. If a specific statutory refund or withdrawal period applies to your transaction, that period is not replaced by this Policy.

6. Refund method and timing

Approved refunds will normally be returned through the original payment method and processed through the payment processor or merchant of record used for the transaction. The time for the refund to appear in your account may depend on the payment processor and your bank.

7. Merchant-of-records transactions

Where our third-party payment processor acts as the merchant of record for your purchase, that provider may process the payment, taxes, invoices, refunds and customer transaction support. Its buyer terms and refund rules may apply in addition to this Policy and may provide rights that cannot be excluded by this Policy.

8. Chargebacks and fraud

If you have a problem with a purchase, please contact us first so we can attempt to resolve it. We reserve the right to challenge fraudulent, abusive or dishonest refund claims and to suspend access to products, where appropriate.

9. Mandatory consumer rights

Nothing in this Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or waive a consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted. If applicable law gives you a greater right to a refund, replacement, repair, cancellation or other remedy, that right will continue to apply.
