Free error-state wording note

follow-up copy for security warning on download

A practical copy pattern for followup copy. Adapt it to the exact error message, current link policy, product instructions, and support page you publish.

Use case

A customer sees a security warning, file warning, suspicious-link warning, or browser caution and needs reassurance without unsafe claims.

Writing rule

Link to public support pages instead of private exceptions. Do not tell customers to ignore security warnings. Explain official store links, public support route, and privacy-safe verification.

Compliance note

This is a self-serve copy resource, not a checkout, waitlist, link-recovery guarantee, security-bypass instruction, or custom support service.

Draft copy

Hi [name], Thanks for the screenshot or description. I understand you are seeing: security warning on download. I can help check the current support route for this digital product. Please send only your order number or purchase email if needed. Please do not send passwords, one-time codes, full card numbers, IDs, private links, mailbox access, API keys, private files, or remote access. The next step is to compare the issue with the product instructions, current download path, and published support policy. This does not guarantee a reset, replacement, bypass, old-link recovery, or browser/device outcome. Thanks, [store name]

Customize safely

Replace the error wording with the exact customer-visible phrase, then link to the current support page or product instructions.

Useful support route

Use Delivery & Support, product status, Terms, Refund Policy, or a current FAQ page as the next step.

Do not overclaim

Do not promise restored links, unlimited downloads, bypassed warnings, file recovery, or guaranteed device behavior.
