Refund and Replacement Policy for VPN / Privacy Orders
Understand our refund and replacement policy for VPN accounts, airport plans, and digital goods paid with USDT. Blockchain payments are irreversible—learn how replacements work, what qualifies, and how to request support.
When you buy a VPN subscription, airport plan, or other digital privacy product with USDT (or any cryptocurrency), the transaction is final. There are no chargebacks, no reversals, and no way for us to pull funds back from your wallet. This isn't a limitation of our marketplace—it's a fundamental property of blockchain payments. That's why our policy is built around replacements, not refunds. If something goes wrong on our end, we'll make it right by issuing a new account or a different tier. But if the issue is on your side, or if the product worked as described at delivery, we can't offer a refund.
This article explains exactly what's refundable, what's replaceable, what isn't, and why crypto refunds are operationally different from card refunds. We've tested hundreds of orders across NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, ProtonVPN, Astrill, Mullvad, and dozens of airport plans. Here's what we've learned.
Why Crypto Refunds Are Different from Card Refunds
Credit card payments come with chargeback rights. If a merchant doesn't deliver, you can dispute the charge with your bank, and the merchant loses the money plus a fee. That leverage forces merchants to offer refunds. Cryptocurrency has no such mechanism. Once a USDT transaction is confirmed on-chain (typically after 1–3 block confirmations on Tron, Ethereum, or BSC), it's irreversible. The merchant cannot claw back the funds, and the buyer cannot force a reversal.
This means the merchant's incentive structure changes. Instead of offering refunds to avoid chargebacks, we offer replacements to maintain trust. If we fail to deliver a working product, we lose a customer and our reputation. So we have a strong incentive to replace defective accounts quickly. But we cannot refund because we have no way to recover the crypto. The only exception is if we haven't yet fulfilled the order—for example, if you paid but we haven't sent the account details yet. In that case, we can cancel and return the funds minus network fees (typically 1–5 USDT depending on the network).
What Is Refundable (Very Little)
Refunds are only possible in two scenarios:
- **Order not yet fulfilled.** If you paid but we haven't delivered the account or plan within 24 hours, you can request a full refund minus the network fee. For example, if you sent 50 USDT on Tron (TRC-20) and the network fee was 1 USDT, you'd get 49 USDT back.
- **Duplicate payment.** If you accidentally sent the same amount twice for the same order, we'll refund the duplicate minus network fees.
That's it. Once the product is delivered—meaning you receive the login credentials or activation link—the order is considered complete and non-refundable. This applies even if you change your mind, find a better deal elsewhere, or realize you don't need the service.
What Is Replaceable (Most Defects)
If the product you receive is defective on arrival, we'll replace it with a same-tier item within 24–48 hours. "Defective on arrival" means the account or plan does not work as advertised at the moment of first use. Specific examples:
- **VPN account banned or locked within 24 hours of delivery.** If you try to log in and the account is already suspended by the provider (e.g., NordVPN flags it as shared), we'll replace it.
- **Wrong region.** If you ordered a US-based ExpressVPN account but received one that only works in Europe, we'll replace it with the correct region.
- **Missing claimed features.** If the listing promised streaming support (Netflix, Disney+) and the account is blocked on those services, we'll replace it with one that works.
- **Airport plan not working.** If the subscription link (e.g., Shadowsocks, V2Ray, WireGuard) returns errors or zero speed, we'll provide a new node or server.
- **Account not delivered.** If you paid and didn't receive credentials within 24 hours, we'll either deliver or refund.
Replacement SLA: We aim to send a new account within 24 hours, but some providers (like Astrill or Mullvad) may take up to 48 hours due to stock rotation. You'll receive a new set of credentials, and the defective account will be deactivated.
What Is Not Replaceable (User-Caused or Policy Issues)
We cannot replace accounts if the problem is caused by you or by the provider's enforcement of their terms after delivery. Common non-replaceable scenarios:
- **User-caused issues.** You changed the password, shared the account with too many people, or tried to use it on a banned IP (e.g., a known datacenter IP).
- **Policy enforcement after delivery.** The VPN provider bans the account days or weeks later because they detected shared usage. We have no control over provider policies. For example, NordVPN may terminate accounts that connect from multiple countries simultaneously. That's not a defect—it's policy enforcement.
- **Region change after purchase.** You bought a US account but later want to switch to Japan. That's a new purchase, not a replacement.
- **Streaming simultaneous viewer cap.** If the account allows 5 simultaneous connections and you hit that limit, that's working as designed.
- **Speed or latency issues.** VPN speeds depend on your ISP, location, and server load. We cannot guarantee a specific speed. If the account connects and works, it's not defective.
How to Request a Replacement
If you believe your order is defective, contact us via Telegram at @jasonma127 with the following information:
- **Order number** (found in your confirmation email)
- **Transaction hash** (the TXID from your USDT transfer)
- **Screenshot of the issue** (e.g., error message, account locked notice, region mismatch)
We'll review within 12 hours and respond with a replacement or explanation. If we determine the issue is not our fault, we'll explain why. If it is our fault, we'll send a new account within 24–48 hours.
Edge Cases by Niche
Different products have different common failure modes. Here's what we've seen:
### SMS-Verify Accounts If you buy a phone number for verification (e.g., Telegram, WhatsApp), the main issue is the number already being used. We test numbers before listing, but occasionally a number gets recycled. If the number is already registered, we'll replace it with a fresh one within 24 hours. If the issue is that the service you're trying to verify doesn't accept virtual numbers, that's not our fault—we can't replace for that.
### Streaming Subscriptions (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) The most common issue is hitting the simultaneous viewer cap. If the account allows 4 screens and you try to use 5, you'll get an error. That's not a defect. However, if the account is blocked on day one (e.g., Netflix detects it as a shared account), we'll replace it. Note that some providers (like Surfshark) have aggressive anti-sharing detection that may block accounts after a few days. We cannot replace for that.
### VPN Accounts (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, etc.) Provider banning shared keys is the top issue. Some VPNs (like Mullvad) actively scan for shared accounts and ban them. If your account is banned within 24 hours of first login, we'll replace it. If it's banned after a week, that's provider enforcement—no replacement. Also, if you use a VPN on a device that leaks your real IP, the provider may flag you. We can't replace for that.
### AI Subscription Accounts (ChatGPT Plus, Midjourney, etc.) Rate limits are the main pain point. OpenAI may rate-limit accounts that are used from many IPs. If the account is rate-limited on day one, we'll replace it. If you use it heavily and hit limits after a few days, that's normal. Also, some AI services require phone verification—if you can't verify, that's not our fault.
### VPS / Server Plans Provider TOS violations are common. If you use a VPS for crypto mining, torrenting, or spam, the provider may suspend it. We cannot replace for TOS violations. If the VPS is dead on arrival (no SSH access, wrong OS), we'll replace it within 24 hours.
The Bottom Line
We built this policy to be fair to both sides. We can't refund because blockchain doesn't allow it. But we will replace any product that doesn't work as advertised at delivery. If you have a problem, contact @jasonma127 with your order number and transaction hash. We'll fix it or explain why we can't.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a refund if I change my mind after buying a VPN account?
No. Once the account is delivered, the order is final. Blockchain payments are irreversible, so we cannot issue refunds for buyer's remorse. However, if the account is defective on arrival (e.g., banned within 24 hours), we will replace it.
What should I do if my VPN account is banned within the first day?
Contact us on Telegram at @jasonma127 with your order number, transaction hash, and a screenshot of the ban message. We'll replace the account with a new one within 24–48 hours, provided the ban was not caused by your actions.
Why can't you refund my USDT payment like a credit card refund?
Credit card refunds rely on chargeback mechanisms that don't exist in cryptocurrency. Once a USDT transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be reversed. We have no way to pull funds back from your wallet, so we offer replacements instead of refunds.
What if I accidentally paid twice for the same order?
If you sent duplicate payments, we can refund the extra amount minus the network fee (usually 1–5 USDT). Contact @jasonma127 with both transaction hashes and your order number.
My airport plan (Shadowsocks/V2Ray) is not connecting. Can I get a replacement?
Yes, if the subscription link returns errors or zero speed on first use, we'll replace it with a new node within 24 hours. Send your order number and a screenshot of the error to @jasonma127.
Will you replace a VPN account that gets banned after a week?
No. If the account works for the first 24 hours and is later banned by the provider (e.g., for shared usage), that's policy enforcement, not a defect. We cannot replace accounts that are terminated due to provider terms of service.
What information do I need to provide for a replacement request?
You need your order number, the transaction hash (TXID) of your USDT payment, and a screenshot of the issue (e.g., error message, account locked notice). Send these to @jasonma127 on Telegram.
Can I get a replacement if the VPN speed is slow?
No. Speed depends on your internet connection, location, and server load. We cannot guarantee specific speeds. If the account connects and works, it is not considered defective.
