Refund Policy

Version 1.5 · Effective December 25, 2025 · GigaNode Technologies Private Limited (CIN U62099UP2024PTC208021)

This policy defines when payments are refundable, per product category. All refund windows are measured from the transaction timestamp of the first billing cycle.

Game Hosting — 48-Hour Window

Game hosting services carry a forty-eight (48) hour refund window. A refund is granted only when both conditions are met:

  • The server exhibits a verifiable, total structural failure caused by Company infrastructure; and
  • The Company's technical support formally declares the issue unresolvable.

Virtual Private Servers (VPS & VDS) — 24-Hour Window

VPS and VDS services carry a twenty-four (24) hour refund window on the first billing cycle only, applicable when a verified provider-side fault prevents delivery of the service as specified. Renewals are non-refundable.

Dedicated Servers — Non-Refundable

Payments for dedicated servers are strictly non-refundable immediately upon the allocation of hardware resources, owing to the reserved nature of physical infrastructure.

Exclusions (All Products)

  • Client-side incompatibilities — game version mismatches, Bedrock vs. Java confusion, local network restrictions.
  • Instability caused by user-installed mods, plugins, scripts, or configuration changes.
  • Use of unauthorized or “cracked” client software.
  • Subjective dissatisfaction — aesthetic preferences or features never advertised.
  • A service responding normally to network packets is deemed “Functionally Delivered”.
  • Promotional or discounted services are strictly non-refundable.
  • Violations of the Acceptable Use Policy forfeit all refund eligibility immediately.
