Refund Policy
Last updated: April 1, 2024
CS Gaming Hub ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to ensuring your satisfaction with our CS2 skins trading services. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions, procedures, and timeframes for requesting refunds or resolving issues with transactions made through our platform.
Please read this policy carefully before making any purchases on our platform. By using our services, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy.
1. General Refund Conditions
Due to the digital nature of CS2 skins and the instantaneous delivery through Steam's trading system, refunds are generally only available under specific circumstances. We understand that issues may arise, and we are committed to resolving them fairly and promptly.
1.1 Eligible Refund Situations
We may issue refunds in the following circumstances:
- Non-delivery of items: If you have completed payment but did not receive the purchased item(s) in your Steam inventory within 24 hours.
- Item discrepancy: If the item delivered significantly differs from what was described in the listing (e.g., different float value, pattern, or condition).
- Technical errors: If our system experienced a technical error that resulted in an incorrect charge or transaction.
- Unauthorized transactions: If a purchase was made from your account without your authorization.
- Double charging: If you were charged multiple times for the same transaction.
1.2 Non-refundable Situations
Refunds may not be available in the following circumstances:
- Change of mind: Once a trade has been completed, we cannot offer refunds simply because you changed your mind about the purchase.
- Market value changes: Fluctuations in market value of CS2 skins after purchase are not grounds for a refund.
- Trade delays due to Steam: Delays in trade completion due to Steam's trade holds or cooldowns are not eligible for refunds.
- User error: Mistakes made by the user, such as purchasing the wrong item or providing an incorrect trade URL.
- Trade ban or restriction: If your Steam account becomes trade banned or restricted after your purchase but before delivery.
