Billing Terms

Refund Policy

Terms and conditions governing the refund process and eligibility criteria for SkyNodes hosting services.

1. General Refund Eligibility

Criteria & Core Guidelines

This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds may or may not be issued for services purchased from SkyNodes ("Company", "we", "our", "us"). By purchasing any service, you agree to this policy.

Infrastructure Fault Requirement:Refunds are only provided if there is a verified technical or service-related issue caused by our hosting infrastructure that prevents the service from functioning as intended and cannot be resolved by our technical team within a reasonable timeframe.
Non-Eligible Factors:Refunds will not be issued for customer misconfiguration, software compatibility issues, lack of technical knowledge, change of mind, or any issue outside our control.
Review & Authority: All refund requests are subject to review by our support team. The final decision regarding eligibility rests with our billing department after investigating the reported issue.

2. Non-Refundable Services

Strict Exclusions

The following services are strictly non-refundable:

Dedicated IP addresses
Domain registrations and renewals
Setup fees
Custom configurations
Add-ons or extra resources
Abuse-related suspensions
Services terminated for Terms violations

VPS Services Allocation Policy

Due to the nature of instant provisioning and dedicated infrastructure allocation, VPS services cannot be refunded under any circumstances.

3. Refund Conditions

Grounds for Denial & Time Limits

Refunds may be denied if:

The service has been used for abusive or illegal activity
Resource abuse has been detected on the node
A chargeback or payment dispute has been filed
The request is made after 24 hours from purchase
The account has been suspended for violation of policies

The refund request lacks a valid and verifiable reason. Simply deciding you no longer wish to use the service after having already used it — for example, after 2 or more days of active use — does not constitute a valid reason for a refund.

We reserve the right to audit and investigate server logs and resource usage before approving any refund.

4. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

Zero-Tolerance Chargeback Policy

Filing a chargeback or payment dispute without contacting support first will result in:

Immediate suspension of all active services
Permanent termination of the client account
Permanent blacklist from all future purchases

We reserve the right to dispute fraudulent chargebacks vigorously with complete technical, connection, and telemetry logs.

5. Refund Method

Payment Processing Terms

Approved refunds will:

Be issued strictly to the original payment method
Be processed within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5-7 business days)
Exclude non-recoverable payment gateway transaction fees where applicable

We are not responsible for processing delays caused by intermediary banks, financial institutions, or external payment processors.

6. Service Cancellation

Billing Cycles & Cancellation Protocol

  • Services must be canceled through the client area before the scheduled renewal date.
  • Failure to cancel prior to renewal does not automatically qualify you for a refund once the billing invoice is executed.
  • Service cancellation does not reverse previous legitimate charges.

7. SLA Credits vs Refunds

Outage Compensation Distinction

If uptime falls below the guaranteed threshold (for eligible paid plans):

Compensation will be issued as service credit only.
SLA credits cannot be withdrawn as cash.
SLA credits must be requested within 7 days of the outage.
Free plans are not eligible for SLA compensation.

8. Fraud Prevention

Risk Mitigation & Security

We reserve the right to:

Request identity verification
Delay service activation
Cancel suspicious orders
Deny refunds for high-risk transactions

Fraudulent activity will result in immediate and permanent account termination.

9. Modifications to This Policy

Terms Amendments

We reserve the right to update this Refund Policy at any time. Updated versions will be published directly on our website.

Continued use of our website and services following any modifications constitutes your acknowledgment and agreement to the revised policy.
