Refund Policy

At Skinsmonkey, we strive to ensure your complete satisfaction with every purchase. We understand that there may be instances where a refund might be necessary. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions and procedures for refund requests.

Please note that due to the digital nature of gaming skins and virtual items, all sales are generally considered final. However, we recognize that certain circumstances may warrant a refund, as outlined in this policy.

1. Refund Eligibility

1.1. Eligible for Refund

You may be eligible for a refund in the following circumstances:

  • Non-Delivery of Items: If you have not received the purchased gaming skin after the specified delivery timeframe (typically 24 hours after purchase).
  • Item Discrepancy: If the gaming skin received significantly differs from what was described or advertised on our website (e.g., different float value, pattern, or condition).
  • Technical Issues: If you experience persistent technical issues that prevent the proper use or display of the purchased skin, provided these issues are not related to your game client or account.
  • Unauthorized Purchases: If unauthorized purchases were made from your account and you have filed a report with both Skinsmonkey and relevant authorities.
  • Duplicate Orders: If you were charged multiple times for the same item due to a technical error on our part.

1.2. Not Eligible for Refund

Refunds are generally not available in the following situations:

  • Change of mind or buyer's remorse after completing a purchase.
  • Price fluctuations in the skin market after your purchase.
  • Minor visual differences that fall within reasonable variation for the specified skin condition.
  • Issues arising from incompatibility with your game client or account.
  • Requests made after the refund eligibility period (14 days from purchase) has expired.
  • Items that have been traded away or transferred to third parties after delivery.
  • Purchases where the payment method terms and conditions prohibit refunds for digital items.

If your refund request is approved, we will process the refund using the original payment method. If the original payment method is unavailable, we will work with you to determine an alternative refund method.

Refunds will typically be processed using the original payment method:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: Refunds will be issued to the original card used for the purchase.
  • PayPal: Refunds will be issued to the PayPal account used for the purchase.
  • Bank Transfers: Refunds will be returned to the originating bank account.
  • Site Credit: In some cases, we may offer site credit as an alternative refund method, especially for partial refunds or when the original payment method is no longer available.

5. Partial Refunds

In certain circumstances, we may issue partial refunds:

  • When only part of an order is affected by issues qualifying for a refund.
  • When a reasonable compromise is reached between the customer and Skinsmonkey regarding an issue.
  • When promotional discounts or credits were applied to the original purchase.

6. Special Circumstances

6.1. Account Bans or Restrictions

If your gaming account receives a ban or restriction after purchasing a skin from Skinsmonkey, we cannot provide a refund. Issues related to game developer policies and account restrictions are beyond our control and responsibility.

6.2. Market Value Changes

The market value of gaming skins can fluctuate based on various factors. We cannot provide refunds based solely on changes in market value after purchase.

6.3. Fraud Prevention

To protect against fraudulent refund requests, we may require additional verification steps before processing a refund. This may include identity verification or additional documentation.

7. Cancellation Policy

For orders that have not yet been processed or delivered:

  • You may request a cancellation by contacting our customer support team immediately after placing your order.
  • If the order has not yet been processed, we will cancel it and issue a full refund.
  • If the order is already in processing, we will attempt to stop it, but cannot guarantee cancellation will be possible.
