3. Refund Policy
3.1 General Policy
Due to the digital nature of our Software products, all purchases are generally final once a license key has been delivered or the Software has been downloaded or activated.
3.2 Money-Back Guarantee
From time to time, RhythMech may offer a money-back guarantee on purchases. When a guarantee is in effect, it will be clearly displayed on the product page and/or checkout page at the time of purchase. The terms of any guarantee (including duration and conditions) displayed at checkout shall apply to your purchase. If no guarantee is displayed at the time of your purchase, Section 3.1 applies.
Approved refunds will be issued for the full purchase price, less any applicable payment processing fees (approximately 3%), to the original payment method within 5-10 business days.
3.3 Promotional Purchases
Purchases made during promotional periods or at discounted prices are subject to the same refund terms as regular purchases. Any applicable money-back guarantee will be honored regardless of whether the purchase was made at a promotional price.
3.4 Refund Exclusions
Even when a money-back guarantee is in effect, refunds will not be issued for:
- Requests made after the guarantee period has expired
- Attempts to abuse the guarantee policy (e.g., repeated purchases and refunds)
- Licenses that have been suspended or terminated for Terms violations
- Chargebacks or payment disputes filed instead of requesting a refund through proper channels
3.5 Trial Periods
From time to time, RhythMech may offer free trial periods for its Software. Trial availability, duration, and terms will be displayed within the Software or on the website. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of any available trial periods to evaluate the Software before making a purchase.
