Should I ask customers to send private download links or credentials?

No. The templates ask for order lookup details, device context, app context, and visible error text instead of credentials, private links, or payment details.

Does this template guarantee a fixed file or refund?

No. It explains a next support step without promising a replacement file, resend, restored access, compatibility, refund, technical fix, or exact timing.
