1. Refund Policy Overview

GameZone offers refunds on eligible purchases under specific conditions outlined in this policy. Our goal is to provide fair and transparent refund processes while maintaining the quality of our services and products.

Refunds are processed to the original payment method used for the purchase unless otherwise specified or required by law. Processing times may vary depending on your payment provider.

All refund requests are subject to review and approval by our customer service team.

2. Eligibility for Refunds

For digital products (e-books, digital guides, downloadable content):

• Refunds are available within 14 days of purchase if you have not downloaded or accessed the content.
• If technical issues prevent you from accessing your purchased digital product, you may be eligible for a refund after our support team has attempted to resolve the issue.
• Once a digital product has been downloaded, accessed, or used, it is generally not eligible for a refund unless the product is substantially defective.

2.2 Premium Memberships

For premium membership subscriptions:

• New subscriptions may be refunded within 7 days of purchase if you have not utilized any premium features.
