1stpal.com Refund Policy Terms and Conditions
What should i do if i receive an used/invalid cd key ?
All cd keys are bought from wholesale distributors and we have a clear refund policy if you face activation problems but it’s required to follow the procedure to the final stage.
From our side all cases that customers provided us all required proofs we issued a full refund or replaced cd key. Please inform us regarding such issues by sending a ticket here.
But there were cases that a customer only claim a issue but do not provide us any proof ( at least a full screenshot of the error ), it’s clear that we can’t help for such cases as we are a reseller and we should provide the supplier proof not only claim ! everyone can claim especially when it’s a digital product, We appreciate for understanding.
>>> [ DISCLAIMER ] <<< Any issue of sold cd keys should be reported by customer ( including all proofs requested from 1stpal.com support side ) to us via ticket section within 7 days ( for Microsoft " Activate by Phone " keys : 48 hours [ Also for sending us the " Installation ID " to get " Confirmation ID " from us ] | For other Microsoft keys : 5 days ) after the purchase date ( for Windows and Office cd keys, the maximum allowed time is " 3 days " ), after that there is no responsibility to us regarding sold cd keys.
After receiving your ticket we’ll reach to you and request you to send us required screenshots/proofs/information we need for investigating your case ( all days of the week ).
In case the customer doesn't provide us all required and requested proofs, we are free to take any decision ( to refund it / to replace it with a new key or deny it at all or etc ) for the cd key/keys the customer reported us a problem regarding it/them. So, we highly recommend to be patient and follow our support guides to the final stage and not leave the procedure at the first contact or in the middle of the investigation procedure by us.
Please take this into consider, investigation process approximately will take ~ 2 up to 7 working days ( monday to friday ) [ or less ] to be done as we need to wait for supplier decision to accept the dispute or not accept it. If the supplier doesn't accept the reported issue, unfortunately we can't issue any refund / replaced cd key for the order as we are only a reseller not the supplier and don't have any access to check date of activation but we try to provide the best possible stock. so if you can't wait for such cases or you think that this procedure is not OK, please don't buy any product.
It's good to know that in cases the customer provided us required and valid proofs, the supplier accepted the dispute and replaced with a new cd key, but there is no guarantee in future because it depends on each order and supplier decision not our decision.
Be confident we as 1stpal.com don't use any cd key before sending to the customer ! and we don't sell it to multiple customers ! They are all provided by different suppliers and we try our hard to provide the best quality products.
Pls, Follow following steps:
1- Login to your account at 1stpal.com
2- Send a ticket and select "key issue" option.
3- Usually 2-7 working days ( maybe less as it varies based on each key and each supplier ) is required to receive the final decision taken by each supplier based on the investigations done, they may ask for more info such as confirmation of the official support of the key provider for the date of activation/etc from the customer during this period, so it may be extended more.
4- If the supplier accept the reported issue, then based on each case and our decision, a new key will be delivered / a refund will be issued for the order.
No, it's not instant ! Once the customer makes the payment and it gets confirmed on the payment gateway, then you can view the cd key in your account dashboard based on estimated delivery time written on the product page.
It usually could take up to 15-30 minutes in our working hours. You'll receive an email once your order is completed, Please check your SPAM folder too.

Sure, but you should get us informed about any underpaid/overpaid payment by sending a ticket or a message on website support chat ( as there is a clear notice on checkout page to " NOT UNDERPAY / OVERPAY ANY ORDER ! " ) otherwise there is no responsibility to us and you acknowledge that you paid the payment at your consent and without sending a message from your side to us manually via website ticket section, no refund will be issued, also it may cause your payment to be not considered as a valid payment for the order, so your order status will not be updated and your order will not be processed too, so you must send us a ticket in such cases to prevent the payment loss.
For cases the customer request for a refund for the overpaid/underpaid amount:
1- We'll issue a refund for the overpaid amount of the order, If the refund field has been filled at checkout page " Crypto Wallet address for probable refunded orders " by the customer with a clear and valid address.
2- if there is no such info with your order, The customer should request a refund for the overpaid amount by sending a message on our website Chat support or by sending a ticket here. including your address to receive the refund.
But, as there is no need / reason to underpay/overpay any order and it causes manual processing, you can easily copy/paste the order total price when you are paying, so for preventing such cases the payment gateway fee + refund transaction fee + $2 [ as refund penalty ] will be deducted from your order total price.
- For cases that the transaction fee is higher than the overpaid amount, it's only possible to us to send a discount code for your next order. The discount code will be expired after 30 days.
So, the best solution is :
PLEASE, DO NOT OVERPAY/UNDERPAY ANY ORDER !Â
