RETURN POLICY
We require that you utilize our technical support services prior to issuing
a refund. Tech support is available at support@stardock.com within 30 days of a stand-alone application's purchase.
(Object Desktop subscribers have support during their subscription.) If it is determined
that your problems cannot be rectified, technical support will instruct you on how
to receive a full refund. Do not contact sales about a full refund without first
contacting technical support. Sales will not fully refund your sale without an RMA
from technical support. We do not charge for technical support.
We do not give refunds on beta, pre-order, or pre-release versions of software or subscription
renewals. Refunds are only available for fully-released programs.
Refund requests on all credit/debit card orders must be received within 30 days
of the transaction. No partial or full refunds will be granted after this time.
Please carefully review your in-cart items and order overview before submitting.
Refunds will not be provided for accidentally purchasing an item. Customer support
is available before purchase to answer any pre-sale questions you may have about
an item.
Please note that Stardock programs have fully functional 30-day trial versions
available prior to purchasing. Since we do offer trials and customer support to
answer questions about the software before and after purchasing, full refunds will
not be issued for functional software that does not live up to your expectations.
Please use the 30-day trial option prior to your purchase if you are unsure if you
want to purchase this product.
Please review the minimum system requirements for our software carefully. If you
request a refund and your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements,
you will receive a partial refund of 75%.
If you are not willing to work with technical support on any problems you are having,
or request a refund even if you are not having problems using the software, we will
issue a partial refund of 75%. To receive a partial refund, please email sales@stardock.com.
We try to process refunds within 5 business days of receipt, but refunds may take
up to 2 weeks to process. An original signature on all refund request letters is
required due to card processing regulations.
Stardock is open Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm Eastern Time. If you experience
problems ordering, registering, or using your software and contact us for help,
please allow reasonable time for us to respond. Please do not reorder. We will not
provide full refunds for duplicate orders under these circumstances. If you do not
receive a product key after the first order, there is probably something wrong
with your email address, or routing to you; reordering will not fix this, so please
do not reorder. Please email if you did not receive your product key, and allow
us 1 business day to respond. We make every effort to keep our systems up 24/7,
but there are conditions beyond our control that may prevent processing to be fully
functional.
If you have made errors entering your personal information on our order form, please
send an email to sales@stardock.com. Do not reorder.
We will not provide full refunds for duplicate orders under these circumstances.
