A customer reaches a not-found page from an old, mistyped, expired, or moved digital download link.

Reply structure

  1. Name the exact error or status message without blaming the customer.
  2. Explain what the seller can check: order record, current link, product instructions, or support policy.
  3. Ask only for low-risk order details when needed.
  4. Route the customer to the current support path or public policy page.
  5. Avoid promising resets, restored links, replacement files, bypasses, or device/browser outcomes.

Safety boundary: do not ask customers to send passwords, one-time codes, full card numbers, IDs, private account links, mailbox access, API keys, private files, or remote access.
