On this page you can find our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Statement, Refund Policy, Return Policy, and all other information relating to policies.
ABOUT OUR KEYS
All of our cd keys are genuine, licenced cd keys from authorised manufacturers. Each one is unique and unused.
RETURN POLICY / REFUND POLICY
If you wish to cancel your order before your order has been sent, please contact us immediately and we will refund you in full without delay (Pre-orders are non refundable until after the release date).
All refunds will be issued immediately but may take a few working days to appear on your card statement. For your convenience, you can browse to the Autokey page and click the ‘cancel order’ button to claim a refund.
If you have placed an order but not collected the key, we can refund and let you cancel the order, but we will keep a £1 administration fee due to the fees we must pay in order to refund you. If your payment has only been authorised (not charged) then there is no refund fee, and we simply void your authorisation.
(please see here for full details in our T’s & C’s).
Pre-orders: Refunds are only processed on the day following release date of the game. A £1 administration fee will apply unless the refund is taken as Store Credit.
We hope our customers can understand that when a digital item has been shipped, it can be activated online and therefore we cannot accept a return as it is not possible for us to resell that item. (see here for details). In some cases we can put the code up for re-sale, and refund once the product has been succesfully re-sold.
If, in the unlikely event you receive a key that does not activate your game, or you experience any problem with activation, we guarantee the product by ensuring you either receive a working code, or a full refund. Simply make a ticket at our support centre, or press the ‘PROBLEM WITH YOUR KEY?’ button on Autokey, and we will investigate the key for you.
We may ask for screenshots of the error to assist us in investigating your case. Once we have received your ticket, we will reply promptly offering a solution, or if we cannot solve your issue due to the key being faulty, we will refund you.
Shipping on CD Keys is totally free, as our items are digital and we deliver them instantly after payment via our Autokey System.
Immediately after payment, the activation key for whatever product you purchased will be displayed to you. Therefore there is no physical shipping and delivery is instant.
