TERMS OF SERVICE — THE GISTA

 

Overview

Welcome to THE GISTA! The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to THE GISTA. We operate this website and online store, including all related information, content, features, tools, digital products, and services to provide you with a convenient digital shopping experience (the “Services”).

Our store may be hosted on Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that enables us to offer our digital products and Services to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced herein, describe your rights and responsibilities when using our Services. Please read these Terms carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights, digital purchases, intellectual property, refunds, and limitations of liability.

By visiting, browsing, or purchasing from THE GISTA, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not access or use our Services. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.

1. Access and Account

By using our Services, you confirm that you are legally able to enter into a binding agreement under the laws applicable to you.

You may be required to provide information such as your name, email address, billing details, or payment information when making a purchase. You agree that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activities conducted through your account. You must notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

You may not sell, transfer, or assign your account to another person without our written permission.

2. Our Digital Products

THE GISTA offers digital products, which may include downloadable files, templates, guides, e-books, planners, digital resources, and other digital content, as described on the relevant product pages.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, previews, features, and specifications are accurate. However, the appearance, formatting, or performance of a digital product may vary depending on your device, software, screen settings, or compatible applications.

You are responsible for reviewing each product description and checking any stated file formats, software requirements, compatibility information, and usage limitations before purchasing.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, our digital products are delivered electronically and do not involve the shipment of physical goods.

We reserve the right to update, modify, discontinue, or limit the availability of any digital product, subject to applicable law and any obligations relating to existing purchases.

3. Orders and Digital Purchases

When you place an order, you make an offer to purchase the selected digital product and authorize us and our payment processors to charge your chosen payment method for the total amount displayed at checkout.

An order is subject to acceptance and successful payment processing. We reserve the right to decline, cancel, or limit an order where permitted by law, including in cases of suspected fraud, unauthorized transactions, pricing errors, or misuse of our Services.

Once your payment is confirmed, your digital product will generally be made available through a download link, an order confirmation email, or another electronic delivery method specified at checkout or on the product page.

Please ensure that your email address is correct and check your spam or junk folder if you do not receive your delivery email.

You are responsible for reviewing your order before completing the purchase. If you experience a problem with your order or digital delivery, please contact us at gista.support@gmail.com.

Purchases are subject to our Refund Policy and any non-waivable rights available to you under applicable law.

Unless a product listing expressly states otherwise, purchases grant a personal-use license and do not authorize commercial resale or redistribution.

4. Prices and Billing

All prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without prior notice, except where applicable law requires otherwise. The price applicable to your purchase will be the price displayed at checkout when you place your order.

Prices and currencies will be displayed as provided by our store and payment processing systems. Applicable taxes or other charges will be shown at checkout where required or supported.

We may offer promotional discounts or special offers subject to additional terms. If those terms conflict with these Terms of Service, the specific promotion terms will apply to the extent permitted by law.

You agree to provide accurate and current billing, payment, and contact information. You confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted with your order.

We reserve the right to correct pricing or billing errors and to cancel affected orders where permitted by law. If payment has already been collected for a canceled order, we will provide any refund required by applicable law.

5. Digital Delivery and Access

THE GISTA delivers digital products electronically. No physical shipping or delivery is required unless a product specifically states otherwise.

Delivery times may vary depending on payment verification, technical processing, email delivery, or the platform used to provide your purchase.

We aim to make purchased digital products available promptly after successful payment. However, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access at all times due to maintenance, technical issues, internet disruptions, third-party service outages, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

You are responsible for having a compatible device, the necessary software, sufficient storage, and a reliable internet connection to access and use your digital products.

If your download link does not work, your file appears incomplete, or you experience a technical issue accessing a purchased product, please contact gista.support@gmail.com so we can investigate and provide reasonable assistance.

Nothing in this section excludes any remedies available to you under applicable consumer protection laws.

6. Intellectual Property and License

All original content offered through THE GISTA, including digital products, templates, designs, graphics, text, images, branding, logos, and other materials, is owned by THE GISTA or its respective licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

When you purchase a digital product, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use that product for the purposes and within the limits stated on its product page.

Unless expressly authorized in writing, your purchase does not transfer ownership of the product or its underlying intellectual property to you.

You may not, without our prior written permission:

• Resell, redistribute, share, sublicense, or commercially exploit our digital products.

• Upload purchased files to public websites, file-sharing platforms, or shared libraries for others to access.

• Copy, reproduce, publish, or distribute our products beyond the scope of your license.

• Remove copyright notices, watermarks, or other ownership information.

• Claim our original work as your own or use it in a way that infringes our intellectual property rights.

• Modify or create derivative products for resale or distribution where doing so is not permitted by your license.

Any additional permissions or commercial-use rights must be expressly stated in the relevant product listing or granted in writing by THE GISTA.

All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by THE GISTA or the applicable rights holder.

7. Optional Tools and Third-Party Services

Our Services may include features, applications, payment processors, download systems, or other tools provided by third parties.

These third-party services may be subject to their own terms, conditions, and privacy policies. To the extent permitted by law, THE GISTA is not responsible for independent third-party services or their availability, security, or performance.

Your use of third-party tools is subject to the applicable terms of those providers.

We may introduce new features or tools in the future. Any such features will form part of our Services and will be subject to these Terms unless separate terms apply.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services for your convenience.

We do not control or guarantee the accuracy, security, availability, or content of third-party websites. Visiting or using those websites is at your own discretion and subject to their respective terms and policies.

THE GISTA is not responsible for transactions, products, services, or disputes arising from third-party websites, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

9. Relationship with Shopify

If our store is hosted on Shopify, Shopify provides the e-commerce platform that enables us to display and sell our digital products.

Your purchases from THE GISTA are transactions with THE GISTA, not with Shopify, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Shopify and its affiliates are not responsible for the products sold directly by THE GISTA or for disputes arising from those purchases, except to the extent required by applicable law.

Your use of Shopify-powered services may also be subject to Shopify's own terms and privacy policies.

14. Automated Agents

You may not use automated agents, bots, scraping tools, or similar systems to access or interact with our Services in a manner that violates these Terms, bypasses security measures, extracts protected content, disrupts our website, or infringes our rights.

We may use reasonable technical measures to limit automated access and protect our website, customers, and digital products.

Nothing in this section prohibits activities that are expressly authorized by us or permitted by applicable law.

15. Termination

Termination of access does not eliminate payment obligations that have already arisen or any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

Any provisions that by their nature should continue after termination, including intellectual property, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law, will remain effective to the extent permitted by law.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

We aim to provide useful, accurate, and functional digital products. However, except as expressly stated or required by applicable law, our website, Services, and digital products are provided on an “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee that our website will always operate without interruptions, errors, or technical issues, or that every digital product will be compatible with every device, software application, or operating system.

We do not guarantee any particular business, financial, educational, personal, or other outcome from the use of our digital products unless expressly stated as a binding commitment.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties that may lawfully be excluded. Nothing in these Terms excludes any mandatory warranty, statutory guarantee, or consumer right that cannot be waived under applicable law.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, THE GISTA and its owners, employees, affiliates, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential losses arising from your use of our Services or digital products.

This includes losses such as lost profits, lost business opportunities, or loss of data, where such exclusions are permitted by law.

We are not responsible for issues caused by incompatible devices or software, incorrect information provided by customers, unauthorized sharing of purchased files, or interruptions to third-party services, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Where liability may legally be limited, our liability will be limited to the extent permitted by law.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of our Services, your infringement of third-party rights, or your material breach of these Terms.

This provision does not apply to the extent that a claim or loss results from THE GISTA's own unlawful conduct or where applicable law prohibits such an obligation.

We will handle any relevant claim in a manner consistent with applicable law.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply, provided that this does not affect any mandatory rights you have under applicable law.

20. Waiver and Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with the policies referenced herein and any additional terms expressly applicable to a product or promotion, form the agreement between you and THE GISTA concerning your use of our Services.

They replace any previous agreements or understandings relating to the same subject matter, except where another agreement expressly applies.

Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.

Nothing in this section overrides mandatory consumer rights or other protections that cannot legally be waived.

21. Assignment

You may not transfer or assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, except where permitted by applicable law.

23. Translations

We may make these Terms of Service available in languages other than English.

If different versions conflict, the English version will govern to the extent permitted by applicable law. Where local law requires a different result, the mandatory requirements of that law will apply.

24. Headings
