ArtWand is not providing a financial product or service as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), nor is it acting as a fiduciary or an escrow with respect to your funds.
Any monies that you deposit into your Member Ledger must be used to pay for Products you buy on the Site.
ArtWand will not refund any monies that you deposit into your Member Ledger as a Buyer. Any monies that you deposit into your Member Ledger as a Buyer, which are not used for a period of 12 months, shall be forfeited to ArtWand.
However, if you make a new deposit into your Member Ledger before any unutilized previously made deposits have been forfeited, the whole balance of your Member Ledger (comprising both the new deposit and your previous balance) will be available to you for a period of 12 months from the date of the new deposit, but shall be forfeited to ArtWand if not used after the expiration of 12 months.
ArtWand may, but is not obliged to, warn you about the forfeiture before it occurs.
ArtWand will pay you the amounts you have earned as a Seller and the Referral Commissions you have earned in accordance with clause 18 subject to the following conditions:
- If you have earned less than $100.00 from sales of your Products or in Referral Commissions within 12 months from the date of your first sale or the date on which ArtWand last paid out monies standing to your credit in your Member Ledger (whichever is more recent), ArtWand will pay you the balance of your Member Ledgerbut only if paid by ArtWand through PayPal (and in no other manner).
- If you have earned more than $100.00 within 12 months from the date of your first sale or the date on which ArtWand last paid out monies standing to your credit in your Member Ledger (whichever is most recent), ArtWand will pay a minimum of $100.00 if through a Payment Agent (and in no other manner).
Other than as provided for in clause 13, ArtWand will not pay any earnings or Referral Commissions standing to your credit in your Member Ledger below $100.00 in total, but you may use this to buy Products.
You must bear all expenses incurred by ArtWand in paying monies back to you. Payments made via a SWIFT transfer incur a processing fee of $35 for each payment.

The following additional terms apply to your distribution of Products on the Site.
- No refund is required or allowed on Products that can be previewed by the Buyer (such as audio and graphics)

If a transaction is cancelled, ArtWand will immediately arrange for any payment refunds.
Due to the digital nature of the Products offered for sale at the Site, we maintain a “no refunds” policy for Products which can be previewed by the Buyers (such as audio and graphics). A Buyer may make a claim for refund in case of Products that cannot be previewed (such as WordPress themes, Adobe After Effect Projects, applications) and the Buyer asserts that the Product is not as described, or is either broken or corrupt. The deadline for a Buyer to make a refund claim is 30 days after purchase, and this claim must be submitted to Support. We will verify the validity of the claim before a refund is approved.
