Headline rule
The rest of this policy lays out exactly when we refund, when we don't, and how to get the money back.
When we refund — full refund
- Build did not launch on first run within 24h of purchase, and our diagnostics confirm the failure is on our side.
- Detected within the protected window stated on the product page (typically 48h for «Standard», 14 days for «Stealth» tier).
- Key never activated. Refund window: 7 days after purchase.
- Duplicate or accidental purchase — flagged within 48h, key unused.
- Service outage on our side that prevented you from using the key for more than 24 cumulative hours during a subscription month — pro-rated.
When we don't refund
- Change of mind after the build has been downloaded and run.
- In-game ban for behaviour unrelated to detection (toxicity, smurfing, manual reports).
- Detection after the protected window has expired.
- Sharing the key, HWID mismatch caused by intentional spoofing.
- Failure to read system requirements before purchase.
- Loss of in-game items, rank, cosmetics or progression — we are never liable for these.
Partial refunds
For subscriptions where the issue arose mid-period, we refund the unused portion calculated to the day, rounded up to your benefit. Example: a 30-day key, used for 9 days, detected on day 10 — refund of 21/30 of the purchase price.
Refund method and timing
If you don't see the refund within the stated window, write to support with your order ID.
How to request a refund
Use the in-product flow at cheats.im/refund. You'll need:
- Order ID (in your purchase email or under Order History).
- Detection screenshot or game-side ban notice (if applicable).
- Approximately when you last launched the build.
Auto-approval triggers if our telemetry already shows a detection event for that build version. Otherwise a human reviews within 24 hours.
Chargebacks
Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank. We will always refund eligible cases ourselves — faster, with no impact on your account. Unwarranted chargebacks may result in account suspension and a permanent ban from cheats.im.
