This Policy explains the standards for purchases, withdrawal, refunds and purchase recovery of paid digital content in GravityStar Games’ games.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to paid digital content sold through stores supported by the Company, such as Google Play and Steam, including in-game virtual currencies, consumable items, permanent items and features, and bundles.
The Services currently do not include auto-renewing subscriptions or paid ad-removal products. If such products are introduced, the purchase screen and this Policy will be amended.
2. Seller and payment processor
- Content provider: GravityStar Games
- Payment processing: the store where the purchase was made (Google Play, Steam, etc.)
- Contact: gravitystargames@gmail.com
The store’s terms and local laws apply to the actual approval of payments, the management of payment methods, and the payment of refunds.
3. Delivery of products
- Purchased products are granted after the store payment succeeds and the server has verified the receipt.
- If a product is not delivered immediately because of a network failure or the app closing, please run Settings > Account > Restore Purchases or the purchase recovery feature in the shop.
- If it is still not delivered after recovery, email us the store, the order or transaction ID, the product name, the purchase date and time, and your support code.
- Do not send credit card numbers, account passwords, or full access tokens.
4. Withdrawal and refunds
- In principle, users may request withdrawal within seven days from the date they received the contract terms or the digital content.
- Where use or consumption of digital content has begun and its value has significantly decreased, as in the following cases, withdrawal may be restricted to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Virtual currencies and consumable items granted immediately upon purchase and partly or fully used
- Permanent features or rights activated immediately upon purchase whose use has begun
- Randomized or selectable content whose result has been fixed by opening, selecting, combining or similar actions
- However, if the content differs from what was displayed, advertised or contracted, or was not provided properly, users may request withdrawal within three months from the date of supply or within thirty days from the date they became aware of that fact.
- Rights of cancellation under applicable law, such as when a minor made a payment without the consent of a legal representative, are not restricted.
- Where a store’s policy is more favorable to users or mandatory local laws set a different standard, that standard prevails.
5. Requests by platform
Google Play
- Within 48 hours of purchase, you can check whether a refund is available using Google Play’s refund request feature.
- After 48 hours, you may contact the Company by email.
- Google Play refund policy
Steam
- For products paid through Steam, please use Steam’s payment and refund procedures first.
- Whether in-game purchases can be refunded, and within what period, may vary depending on the product type, whether it has been used, the region, and Steam’s policies.
- Steam refund policy
6. Refund processing and recovery
- When a refund is approved, the virtual currencies, items, bonuses and purchase rights granted by that purchase are recovered or deactivated.
- Where they have already been used and cannot be fully recovered, the in-game balance or related rights may be adjusted to the extent permitted by applicable law and store policies.
- Transactions refunded by a store are not granted again, and related features may be restricted if duplicate grants or refund abuse are confirmed.
- Refunds are paid by the store to the original payment method, and the actual timing depends on the payment method and the store’s processing schedule.
7. Purchase recovery instead of refunds
If payment was completed but the product was not delivered, please try purchase recovery before requesting a refund. When the server confirms a valid transaction, the undelivered rewards are granted without duplication.
8. Account deletion and purchases
- Account deletion is not an automatic refund request. Please make any necessary refund or purchase recovery requests before deleting your account.
- If unresolved purchases remain, scheduling account deletion may be temporarily restricted to ensure safe transaction handling.
- Once account deletion is completed after the seven-day grace period, the active purchase rights and cloud data of the game account cannot be restored. Under store policies, some non-consumable products may not be purchasable again on a new account.
9. Record retention
In accordance with applicable law, the Company may retain records of contracts and withdrawals and records of payments and content supply for five years, and records of consumer complaints and dispute handling for three years.
10. Disputes and contact
Refund or payment disputes are resolved through good-faith consultation between the Company and the user. If they are not resolved, users may use consumer-dispute mediation bodies such as the Korea Consumer Agency, or the competent court.
