Refund Policy

Updated: 23.02.2025

Thank you for shopping at WPBay. We strive to ensure you have a seamless experience purchasing WordPress plugins and themes. However, we understand that issues may arise. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds may be granted, how to request a refund, and other important details.

1. Overview

  • Digital Nature of Products
    WPBay offers digital, non-tangible products (WordPress plugins and themes). Once products are downloaded, they cannot be “returned” in the same way as physical goods.
  • Focus on Customer Satisfaction
    Our primary goal is to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase. If something isn’t working as expected, we encourage you to contact the product seller or our support team for assistance before requesting a refund.

2. Eligibility for Refund

You may be eligible for a refund under one or more of the following circumstances:

  1. Product Not as Described
    • The item you purchased is significantly different from its description or preview/demo.
    • Examples include missing key features listed on the product page or major discrepancies in design/layout.
  2. Technical Issues or Defects
    • The product contains critical bugs or conflicts that make it unusable in its intended form.
    • You must provide details (e.g., error logs, screenshots) and allow the seller or WPBay support a reasonable time to fix the issue.
  3. Non-Delivery of Product
    • If, due to technical reasons, you did not receive access to the product after purchase, and the seller or WPBay support fails to resolve the issue within a reasonable time.

Note: Refunds are typically not granted for:

  • Buyer’s remorse (changed your mind, purchased by mistake, found a better alternative, etc.).
  • Lack of understanding or misreading of product requirements (please review product descriptions, demos, and FAQs thoroughly).
  • Incompatibility with third-party plugins or themes unless explicitly stated in the product description.

3. Refund Request Process

  1. Contact the Seller First
    • Most issues can be resolved by the product’s developer. Reach out via the product’s support channel, describe the issue in detail, and allow time for a response.
  2. Submit a Refund Request
    • If the seller is unable to resolve the issue, you can submit a formal refund request through your WPBay user account.
    • Provide the following information:
      • Order ID or transaction details
      • Description of the issue
      • Steps to reproduce the issue (if applicable)
      • Supporting screenshots or error logs
  3. Review by WPBay
    • Our support team will review the request, communicate with the seller, and decide if the refund meets eligibility criteria.
    • We may request additional information or access to troubleshoot.
  4. Refund Approval/Denial
    • If approved, the refund is processed back to your original payment method. Processing times may vary based on the payment provider.
    • If denied, we will provide a clear explanation of the decision.

Check our ‘Asking for a Refund‘ page for steps and details on asking for a refund for a purchased product.

4. Refund Exclusions

Refunds will not be issued for:

  1. Misuse or Unauthorized Tampering
    • If the buyer alters the product’s code, structure, or files beyond recommended modifications (e.g., child themes), any resulting issues are not covered by this policy.
  2. Failure to Read Documentation
    • Requests based on ignorance of product requirements or setup instructions.
    • Please review documentation and FAQs carefully.
  3. Delayed Responses from Buyer
    • If a buyer fails to cooperate with the seller or WPBay support requests (e.g., providing requested screenshots, test site access, or error logs) in a timely manner.
  4. Products Purchased from Other Vendors
    • We can only refund items purchased directly through WPBay; for any external transactions, contact that vendor’s refund policy.

5. Refund Timelines

  • Evaluation Period
    • WPBay aims to review all refund requests within 3–5 business days of submission.
  • Processing Time
    • Once approved, refunds typically take 5–10 business days to appear on your statement, depending on your payment provider.

6. Disputed Transactions & Chargebacks

  • Contact Us First
    • If you are dissatisfied, please contact the seller or WPBay support before filing a chargeback with your bank or payment provider.
  • Unauthorized Chargebacks
    • Filing a chargeback without contacting us for a resolution may result in the suspension of your WPBay account and/or denial of future purchases.

7. Changes to This Refund Policy

WPBay reserves the right to update or modify this Refund Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and significant changes may be announced via email or your WPBay account dashboard. Your continued use of WPBay services after any modifications indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
