Refund Policy
Refund and Exchange Policy – CoolGamingNews.com
At CoolGamingNews.com, your satisfaction matters. We work hard to deliver trustworthy gaming news, in-depth reviews, guides, and downloadable resources. If something isn’t right with a purchase from us, we’ll do our best to help.
What this policy covers
This policy applies to purchases made directly on CoolGamingNews.com (e.g., digital guides, downloadable resources, memberships/subscriptions, and any physical merchandise we sell).
Purchases made via third-party stores (e.g., Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Amazon, or other partner links) are governed by those retailers’ own refund policies. We cannot process or issue refunds for third-party orders.
Fair use & account sharing
- Accounts, memberships, and downloads are licensed to one individual or household.
- Excessive simultaneous logins, credential sharing, or automated scraping may result in temporary blocks or account closure without refund.
Money-Back Guarantee (Digital content & memberships)
You may request a refund within 30 days of purchase.
Eligibility
- Not downloaded/opened: If you haven’t accessed a digital file or member-only content, you’re eligible for a full refund.
- Accessed/used content:
- If a technical issue on our side prevented access and we can’t resolve it, you’re eligible for a full refund.
- If content is materially inaccurate (e.g., a guide promised specific steps that are objectively incorrect), we’ll review and issue a partial or full refund depending on findings. We may ask for examples or screenshots to verify.
- Change of mind after substantial use or download is generally not refundable, but we’ll review on a case-by-case basis.
Subscriptions/Memberships
- Refunds for memberships follow the same 30-day window from the initial charge.
- For renewals, request a refund within 7 days of the renewal date if you haven’t materially used member content after renewal.
Physical products (if offered)
- 30-day returns for unused items in original condition/packaging.
- Defective or damaged on arrival: Contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos. We’ll replace or refund (including reasonable return shipping where required).
- Original shipping fees may be non-refundable unless the item was defective/damaged or we shipped the wrong product.
How to request a refund or exchange
- Contact us: Email [email protected] with subject line “Refund Request” or “Exchange Request.”
- Include: order number, purchase email, item name, and a brief description of the issue. For technical problems or inaccuracies, please add screenshots or details.
- Processing time: We typically review within 3 business days and, once approved, issue refunds within 5 business days to the original payment method. Your bank or card issuer may take additional time to post the credit.
Additional notes
- Each purchase is reviewed individually.
- Repeated refunds after full use of content may result in account limits.
- We may update this policy to reflect new products or legal requirements. The current version will always be posted on this page.
