When customers ask an AI assistant or support bot about a download link, license key, activation limit, missing file, or refund window, the dangerous failure is a confident invented answer. This source card helps small teams publish verified facts and keep access-sensitive replies human-reviewed.

Use this before AI answers download or license questions

This worksheet is for small businesses selling ebooks, templates, memberships, SaaS add-ons, courses, plugins, digital files, or licensed resources. It does not decide legal, refund, tax, security, or platform policy questions. It gives your team a repeatable source-of-truth card so AI search summaries, help docs, and support drafts do not invent access.

Customer-safe response snippets

Missing download link

Thanks for checking. I’m going to verify the order and current download-link source before giving instructions, so we do not send the wrong file or expose another customer’s access.

License key not working

I can help route this. Please use the official support channel tied to the purchase email so we can check the license record, activation count, and product version before changing access.

Refund or replacement request

I need to compare the request with the current refund/replacement policy and purchase record before promising a refund, store credit, new key, or exception.
