Refund & Credits

Refund Policy

This policy explains when OTP activation and rental orders qualify for credits, when refunds are excluded, and how the review workflow operates.

Updated: April 15, 2026

OTP activation refunds

  • A one-time activation may qualify for refund or balance credit when no usable SMS arrives within the eligible waiting window defined in the product flow.
  • The decision is tied to the original order and verified against server-side order state, message delivery records, and any user-provided evidence.
  • If a code was delivered, the target platform accepted the number, or the order was consumed successfully, a refund is generally not available.

Rental related refunds

  • Rental orders may be reviewed for refund before service starts or where there is a verified platform-side failure that materially prevents delivery.
  • Once a rental has been used successfully or has entered active service time, partial credit or extension may be offered instead of full refund depending on the case.
  • Dedicated supply, reserved inventory, or custom commercial arrangements may follow separate written refund terms.

Cases that are excluded

  • Refunds may be denied for prohibited use, fraud review triggers, risk-control restrictions, incorrect destination selection, or unsupported target platforms.
  • Requests without sufficient order details, evidence, or timely reporting may be rejected when the platform cannot verify the underlying issue.
  • Manual abuse controls, sanctions checks, KYC failures, and payment reversals may override standard refund handling.

Review process

  • Activation cancellation returns the activation charge to platform balance; it is not a return of a previous top-up to its payment method.
  • Submit activation evidence from the correct account with the order ID, timestamp, and target-platform error screenshot when available. Evidence supports review but does not authorize a refund by itself.
  • For a top-up return, contact support from the account that paid within 7 days of payment and provide the top-up ID plus the payment transaction ID or blockchain hash as text.
  • Support verifies server-side order and payment state before making a decision. Complex evidence or external-return cases can take longer than an eligible in-product activation cancellation.

Where funds are returned

  • Eligible activation and rental refunds return the corresponding order charge to platform balance.
  • A top-up marked refunded records reversal of its credited platform balance; it does not by itself prove that money was sent externally.
  • An external return is a separate operation and is available only when support verifies the original payment and confirms that its payment route supports a return.
  • For cryptocurrency, the original transaction route is verified; funds are never sent to an address copied from a screenshot or message.

Non-Refundable Fees

  • All eligible external returns are net of non-recoverable third-party processing fees where permitted.
  • These may include card processing fees, bank service charges, currency conversion fees, and blockchain network or gas fees.
  • These costs are incurred at the time of the original transaction and are not recoverable by the platform.
