Refund & Returns Policy
Effective date: April 2026 · Arga Digital Group LLC
Digital keys work a little differently from physical products. Here's exactly when a refund is approved, when it isn't, and how to request one.
The short version
Refunds approved when
- Your key is invalid, expired, or unusable and support can't fix it
- You received the wrong product due to our error
- You were charged twice for the same order
- Your key never arrived and support can't resolve it
Refunds not approved when
- The key has already been activated or redeemed
- You bought the wrong product by mistake
- You've simply changed your mind
- More than 14 days have passed since the order

01Refund Eligibility
When refunds are approved
- Defective or non-functional keys — invalid, expired, or unusable, and support can't provide a working replacement
- Incorrect product delivered — you received something different due to an error on our end
- Duplicate charges — you were accidentally charged more than once for the same order
- Undelivered products — your key doesn't arrive within a reasonable timeframe (typically 24 hours) and support can't resolve the delivery issue
When refunds are not approved
- Activated or redeemed keys — once a key is used on any platform (Steam, EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft, etc.), it's permanently tied to that account and can't be returned to inventory
- Customer error — wrong game version, platform, or item purchased by mistake; please double-check your cart before buying
- Change of mind — as with most digital retailers, buyer's remorse isn't grounds for a refund
- Expired requests — requests submitted more than 14 days after order completion aren't considered
- Resolved issues — if support gives you a working fix (correct activation steps, platform instructions) and the product works, the request is closed
02How to Request a Refund
Step 1 — Contact support
- Email: [email protected]
- Live chat: available on every page of buycheapkeys.com
- Contact form: buycheapkeys.com/contact-us
Step 2 — Share the details
- Your order number
- The email address used for the purchase
- A description of the issue
- Screenshots or error messages, if you have them
- Proof the key hasn't been activated, when relevant
Step 3 — We investigate
We may offer a replacement key, walk you through activation, check the key's status with our suppliers, or process a refund if nothing else resolves it.
Step 4 — Refund processing
Approved refunds go back to your original payment method — card refunds return to the same card, PayPal refunds return to your PayPal account. Processing time depends on your payment provider (typically 5–10 business days).
03Refund Timeframe
- Approval decision: within 48–72 hours of your request
- Refund processing: 5–10 business days after approval, depending on your payment provider
- Total time: up to 14 business days from request to funds in your account
04No-Cost Returns
Everything we sell is digital, so there's no shipping to worry about:
- No shipping costs on returns or refunds
- No fees for requesting a refund
- No physical item to send back
05Exceptions & Special Cases
Pre-order cancellations
Pre-orders can be cancelled for a full refund any time before the official release date. Once the key is delivered on release day, standard refund rules apply.
Partial refunds
If your order has several items and only one has a problem, we may issue a partial refund for just the affected item(s).
Gift card purchases
Gift cards and wallet credits are generally non-refundable once the code has been revealed or redeemed.
