Refund Policy

What can be refunded, what cannot, and why — stated plainly. Please read before you buy.

Effective: 2026-10-10 Version: 1.8
Before you buy

Your w0a licence key is emailed to you the moment your payment is confirmed. Under the distance-selling rules of many jurisdictions — including the EU and Türkiye — a licence key is digital content that can be delivered instantly by electronic means. For such content you may consent, at checkout, to delivery beginning immediately and acknowledge that by doing so you lose your 14-day right of withdrawal. We ask for that consent and acknowledgment separately before you pay; until you give them, delivery does not begin. Either way, for 7 days after purchase you can get a full refund without giving a reason (section 2).

1. Right of withdrawal and its exception

In many jurisdictions — including the European Union and Türkiye — a consumer buying at a distance generally has 14 days to withdraw without giving a reason. The same rules provide that this right does not apply to services performed instantly by electronic means and digital content delivered instantly to the consumer.

A w0a licence key falls within that description: the key is generated and emailed to you the instant payment is confirmed. Where you have given prior express consent to that immediate delivery and acknowledged that you thereby lose the right, the 14-day right of withdrawal no longer applies once delivery has begun. If you were not asked for that consent, the ordinary 14-day right remains.

This consent — that delivery begins immediately, and that you thereby lose the 14-day right of withdrawal — is shown separately on the checkout screen immediately before you become liable to pay, and your confirmation is recorded. The purchase cannot complete without it, and we confirm it to you on a durable medium (by email) together with your key.

2. When we refund anyway

The absence of a withdrawal right does not mean you are left without recourse. We issue a full refund in the following cases:

These do not replace the statutory remedies consumer law gives you for a defective service; they are in addition to them. If the software does not perform as described, you retain your legal rights to free repair, a price reduction, or cancellation of the contract.

The 7-day refund is a promise of our own, made in addition to your statutory rights and to Paddle's refund policy; it does not shorten or replace either. Where the 14-day right of withdrawal still applies to you (section 1), it runs its full 14 days.

Age and purchases by a minor

w0a may be used from the age of 16. If you are under 18 you may use it only with the knowledge and consent of your parent or legal guardian, and the purchase must be made by them — our merchant of record, Paddle, sells only to adults (Terms of Service, section 1). If a payment was made from your card by a minor without your approval, it is an unauthorised charge in the sense of this section: write to us and we refund it, and the licence key is cancelled. If we learn that a licence is being used by someone under 16, we end that licence and refund the unused period.

4. How to request a refund

Write to our support channel and include:

We decide your request and, where it is approved, instruct the refund within 14 days at the latest, and usually much sooner. Within the first 7 days after purchase we refund without asking why; after that we first try to fix the problem, and if it cannot be fixed, we refund.

To check a request we use the record kept for your key: the purchase email it was issued to, the payment provider's customer reference, when the key was activated, the hardware ID it is bound to, the hardware summary your device sent at activation, the last IP address recorded for it together with the country derived from that address, when the key was last seen online, and which version of the agreement shown inside the app — the summary of these Terms of Service — was accepted on that device and when. What we hold, why, and for how long is set out in the Privacy Policy.

If the right of withdrawal does apply to your purchase — that is, you were not asked for the consent described in section 1 — it works differently from the cases above: send us a clear statement within 14 days that you are withdrawing. The 14 days run from the day the contract is concluded, which for a licence key is the day of purchase. No reason is needed and we do not ask you to try a fix first; we instruct the refund within 14 days of receiving your notice, by the method in section 5.

To be completed before launch

The contact address for refund and withdrawal notices will be published in this section.

5. Timing and method

Payments are processed by Paddle.com, our merchant of record: Paddle is the seller of record for the transaction and issues your invoice. Approved refunds are issued through Paddle to the original payment method in the original currency. We decide the request and instruct the refund within 14 days at the latest; how long the amount then takes to appear depends on Paddle and on your bank or card provider, which may add a few business days. We charge no fee for refunds. You may also raise a refund request with Paddle directly through paddle.net, and any chargeback or payment dispute is handled by Paddle as the seller of record.

The associated licence key is cancelled — and your access to the software ends — only where an approved refund returns the whole purchase price. A refund of part of the amount does not cancel it: a goodwill adjustment, a tax correction, a pro-rata amount on a plan change, or the extra amount returned after a duplicate charge (section 2) all leave your key working. If the money goes back through a chargeback or a payment dispute, the key is suspended for as long as the payment is not with us; if that dispute then closes in our favour, the suspension has no reason to continue: write to us and the key is restored (Terms of Service, section 13).

6. Subscription renewal

Turning automatic renewal on or off is entirely your choice. Turning it off stops every future charge. Cancellation ends your access at the moment it takes effect with the payment provider, so if you want to use the rest of the period you have already paid for, set the cancellation to take effect at the end of that period rather than immediately.

7. Try the free tier first

You can run the software on your computer before paying anything. w0a opens without a licence key: the monitoring pages, the optimisation sets, launch options and CS2 configuration, RAM settings, the DNS and ping tests, the FPS benchmark, the repair page and the backups all work in the free tier, so you can confirm it runs on your system and that you like the interface without spending anything. Ten screens need a paid licence: registry tweaks, Internet, game optimisation, the process manager, power plans, graphics card tuning, RAM timings, the stutter analysis, the USB ports page and the latency test (Terms of Service, section 8). Trying the free tier first is the best way to know the app works for you.

8. Which version applies

Your purchase is governed by the version published on this page at the moment you bought. The version number and effective date above exist for that purpose. If we change the policy later, the change applies only to purchases made after the date of the change; the terms of a purchase you already made are not altered retroactively to your disadvantage. We update the version number and effective date, and provide the previous version on request.

This policy is published in English and in Turkish. For consumers resident in Türkiye the Turkish text prevails; for everyone else the English text prevails.

9. Disputes

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of a refund request, your rights as a consumer are reserved: in Türkiye, before the consumer arbitration committees according to the applicable monetary thresholds and, for disputes above those thresholds, through mandatory pre-action mediation followed by the consumer courts; elsewhere, before the consumer authorities and courts of your own country. Nothing in this policy closes those routes.
