SMSGem does not offer refunds for purchased products. Unlike physical goods, electronically distributed software and software licenses can be easily duplicated. Once we have distributed a release version to the customer, the sale is final, and you may not return the software for a refund or credit. Please be cautious and make sure you know what you are purchasing. Under no circumstances SMSGem will provide refunds on a "your software is not what I need" basis. Finding a bug in our products is not a reason for a refund. If you do find bugs, please report them so that we can fix them. If you are uncertain of a specific feature, please contact us.

Refund is not applicable on membership renewals.
Refund is applicable for Paypal payment only.
The refund would be denied in abuse cases, with abnormally high numbers of downloads within the 7 days.
6. Returns and cancellations

SMSGem also will offer a full or partial refund within 7 (seven) business days starting from the moment when the member makes the payment.
