1. About Velvet Aura

Velvet Aura is an independent digital and editorial destination exploring beauty technology, wellness, ritual, personal transformation, and intentional living.

Our offerings include original digital guides and resources available for purchase directly through our website, alongside curated product recommendations, educational articles, reviews, and links to third-party retailers.

Products featured through external shopping links are not sold or fulfilled directly by Velvet Aura.

2. Digital Products & Access

Velvet Aura's original digital offerings, including guides, workbooks, and downloadable resources, are delivered electronically.

Following a successful purchase, access is provided through the download instructions available at checkout or by email.

Due to the immediate-access nature of these products, digital sales are generally final once access has been provided, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

We encourage you to review each product description before purchasing to ensure it aligns with your needs and intentions.

If you experience difficulty accessing your purchase, receive an incorrect file, or encounter a technical issue, please contact community@velvetauracollective.com. We'll work with you to ensure you receive what you ordered.

For additional details, please review our Return & Refund Policy.

3. Curated Products & Third-Party Purchases

Velvet Aura features a thoughtfully curated selection of beauty technology, wellness essentials, and other products available through third-party retailers, including Amazon.

When you follow an external shopping link, you are directed to the applicable retailer's website, where any resulting purchase is completed.

Product availability, final pricing, payment processing, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, warranties, and customer service are governed by the policies of the retailer responsible for the transaction, subject to applicable law.

Velvet Aura does not directly process payments, fulfill orders, or manage returns for purchases completed through external retailers.

We encourage customers to review product details, pricing, and retailer policies before purchasing.
