Customer moment

A digital product release is delayed and customers need a calm explanation of current status and support options.

Safe boundary

Do not overpromise a new date, compensation, refund outcome, or manual handling. Link to published policy and status page.

Status-message structure

State what is currently available now.
State what is not yet available or still pending, if relevant.
Point to the product status, product preview, Delivery & Support, or Terms page.
Ask for only low-risk order details if support needs to locate an existing order.
Avoid promising dates, automatic delivery, compensation, refunds, or manual handling unless already published.

Privacy boundary: do not ask for passwords, one-time codes, full card numbers, IDs, account access, API keys, private files, mailbox access, or remote access.
