At CD-Keys.net, we want every customer to have a smooth and satisfactory purchasing experience. Because our products are delivered digitally, our refund and return policy differs from that of physical products.

Please read the following policy carefully before making a purchase.

1. Digital Products

All products sold through CD-Keys.net are digital products, including digital activation keys, license keys, game keys, software licenses and other electronically delivered products.

Because digital products can be accessed, delivered or redeemed electronically, we generally cannot accept returns once a digital key has been delivered, accessed, redeemed or activated.

However, if you experience a genuine problem with your purchase, our support team will work with you to resolve the issue.

2. When Are Refunds Available?

A refund may be considered in the following situations:

• You have not received your purchased digital key.
• The delivered key is invalid or does not work as described.
• We are unable to provide a working replacement for a defective key.
• Your order was cancelled before the digital product was delivered.
• Your order was charged but cannot be fulfilled by us.
• Another situation where a refund is required under applicable law.

Before approving a refund for a technical or activation issue, we may ask you to provide information that allows us to investigate the problem.

3. Invalid or Non-Working Keys

If your key does not work, please contact us before requesting a payment dispute or chargeback.

Our support team may ask you to provide:

• Your order number
• The email address used for the purchase
• The product name
• The activation platform
• A screenshot of the error message
• Any relevant information about the activation attempt

We will investigate the issue and, where appropriate, provide a replacement key.

If we are unable to provide a working replacement, we may issue a refund to the original payment method.

4. Activated or Redeemed Products

Once a digital key has been redeemed, activated or used, it is generally not eligible for a refund.

This is because once a digital license or activation key has been used, it cannot be returned to our inventory or resold as an unused product.

If you believe an activated product is defective or was incorrectly supplied, please contact our support team so we can investigate the situation.

5. Wrong Product Purchased

Please carefully check the product description, edition, platform, region and system requirements before completing your purchase.

If you accidentally purchase the wrong product, contact us as soon as possible and preferably within 24 hours.

If the key has not been delivered, accessed, redeemed or activated, we may be able to assist with a cancellation, exchange or other appropriate solution.

Once a key has been delivered or redeemed, we generally cannot exchange or refund it simply because the wrong product was purchased.

6. Orders Still Being Processed

Some orders may require manual verification or fulfillment before the digital key can be delivered.

If your order is showing as Processing, please do not immediately place another order.

Due to payment verification, manual processing and time-zone differences, some orders may take additional time to complete.

If your confirmation email states that your key will be provided manually, please allow additional time for our team to process and deliver the key.

We will always make reasonable efforts to complete manual orders as quickly as possible.

If your order remains unresolved for an extended period, please contact our support team.

7. Refund Requests

To request a refund, please contact our customer support team.

Email: admin@cd-keys.net

Please include:

• Order number
• Email address used for the purchase
• Product name
• Reason for your refund request
• Relevant screenshots or error messages, if applicable

Providing complete information helps us investigate your request more quickly.

8. Refund Request Timeframe

Refund requests should generally be submitted within 7 days of purchase.

Requests submitted after this period may still be reviewed where appropriate, particularly where the issue concerns a defective product or where applicable law requires otherwise.

The availability of a refund may depend on whether the digital product has been delivered, accessed, redeemed or activated.

9. Refund Review Process

Once we receive your request, our support team will review the order and the circumstances surrounding the request.

We may request additional information or evidence when necessary to verify the issue.

If your request is approved, we will initiate the refund using the original payment method, where possible.

10. Refund Processing Time

After a refund has been approved, we will process it as soon as reasonably possible.

Depending on the payment provider and financial institution, it may take approximately 5–7 business days for the refunded amount to appear in your account.

The exact time is controlled by your payment provider or bank and may vary.

11. Non-Refundable Situations

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, refunds are generally not available when:

• A key has already been redeemed or activated.
• A key has been accessed or used.
• The customer purchased the wrong product and the key has already been delivered or redeemed.
• The product is compatible with the customer’s system but the customer has changed their mind after delivery.
• The customer did not check the product requirements before purchasing.
• The customer is unable to use the product because of requirements clearly stated on the product page.
• The customer provides incorrect information during checkout.
• The customer has already received and successfully used the digital product.

12. Duplicate Orders

If you accidentally place the same order more than once, please contact us as soon as possible.

If the duplicate order has not yet been delivered or redeemed, we will review the situation and, where possible, cancel and refund the duplicate order.

If the duplicate digital key has already been delivered or redeemed, the order may not be eligible for a refund.

13. Payment Disputes and Chargebacks

If you experience an issue with your order, we strongly encourage you to contact CD-Keys.net support before opening a payment dispute or chargeback.

Our support team will make reasonable efforts to resolve legitimate issues, including delivery problems, invalid keys and activation difficulties.

If a payment dispute or chargeback has already been opened, we may be unable to process a separate refund for the same transaction while the dispute is being investigated.

14. Exceptions Required by Law

Nothing in this Refund & Returns Policy is intended to limit or exclude any rights or remedies that you may have under applicable consumer protection or other laws.

Where applicable law provides you with a mandatory right to cancel, refund, repair, replacement or other remedy, those rights will continue to apply.
