Template Policies

Website Template Delivery Terms

Your purchased template will be delivered to you within 48 hours of completing your order. The template will be sent to your Squarespace account using the email address you provided at checkout. You are responsible for setting up a free Squarespace account prior to delivery to ensure you can access the template link we send.

While we strive to meet this delivery window consistently, occasional delays may occur due to circumstances beyond our control. Should you not receive your template within this timeframe, please reach out to our support team. Please be aware that deliveries may take longer during weekends and holiday periods.

When you buy a template, you'll receive an invitation to accept the template as a new website within your Squarespace account. This delivery does not include integration into an existing website unless you've specifically added an installation service to your order.

After receiving your template, all customisation and content addition becomes your responsibility. We cannot reverse any modifications you make to the design once it's in your possession.

One-Time Delivery Terms

Your template purchase entitles you to a single delivery of your selected design.

Should any of the following occur, a new purchase will be required to receive the template again:

  • You modify the template and require a fresh copy

  • Your platform's trial period expires before you activate the template (within the 12-month access window)

  • Your site is removed by the hosting platform due to an expired trial period

To prevent trial expiration issues, we recommend either upgrading to a paid hosting plan promptly or requesting a trial extension from your platform provider.

Returns and Exchanges

As our products are delivered digitally and immediately accessible, we cannot provide a refund once your purchase is finalised. We encourage you to thoroughly review all demo previews, feature descriptions, technical requirements, and frequently asked questions before completing your order. For any pre-purchase enquiries about specific templates, please contact us first.

Customer Support Scope

Our support team is available to assist with:

  • Issues directly related to your purchased template

  • Download and file access problems

  • Technical difficulties with the initial setup

  • Questions about the installation process

We're unable to provide assistance for:

  • Platform-specific questions unrelated to the template

  • Custom design modifications or requests

  • Code alterations or troubleshooting custom code

  • Third-party software issues

Support requests can be submitted via email to cathrin@thesocialmagpie.com. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 2 business days, Monday through Friday.

Installation Service Terms

(Applies only to orders including our professional installation add-on)

Our installation service involves transferring your selected template into your current website environment.

Standard installation completion time is 1 business day, though this may fluctuate based on project complexity or unexpected technical challenges. If your installation hasn't been completed within this window, please contact our support team. Weekend and holiday installations may experience extended timeframes.

Following installation completion, the template becomes your property and all subsequent changes are your responsibility. We cannot undo modifications made after our work is complete.

We take precautions to protect your existing content during installation; however, we cannot be held liable for any unintended content disruption or data loss that may occur during the integration process.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any installation request. Should we cancel an installation order, the installation fee will be fully refunded, though the template purchase itself is non-refundable.
