Refund Policy
Last updated: January 13, 2026
1. Overview
Level 1K Ltd provides game server hosting services accessed through prepaid digital credits. This Refund Policy explains your rights and our procedures for refunds.
All payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle"), who acts as our Merchant of Record. Paddle is the legal seller for all transactions and refunds are processed through Paddle.
2. Your Consumer Rights
As a UK consumer, you have statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
14-Day Cooling-Off Period
For online purchases, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund. However, this right is lost once you have:
- Started using the credits to provision or run a game server, and
- Acknowledged at the time of purchase that you would lose your cancellation right once the service begins
Service Quality
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, our digital services must be:
- Provided with reasonable care and skill
- Fit for purpose as described
- As described in our service information
If our services fail to meet these standards, you may be entitled to:
- Repeat performance: We will re-provide the service to the required standard at no extra cost
- Price reduction: If repeat performance is not possible or not provided within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to a partial or full refund
3. Credit Refund Eligibility
Refundable
- Unused credits within 14 days: If you have not used any credits and are within the 14-day cooling-off period, you are entitled to a full refund
- Service failures: Credits lost due to service failures on our part that we cannot remedy
- Billing errors: Duplicate charges or incorrect amounts
Generally Non-Refundable
- Consumed credits: Credits that have been used to run game servers (service already delivered)
- Credits after 14 days: Unused credits after the cooling-off period, unless required by law or at our discretion
- Account termination for cause: Credits forfeited due to Terms of Service violations
Discretionary Refunds
We may, at our sole discretion, offer refunds or credit adjustments in circumstances not covered above. Each request is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

5. Refund Processing
Approved refunds will be processed through Paddle (our payment processor) within 14 days of approval. Refunds will be issued to your original payment method.
Please note that while we process refunds promptly, your bank or card issuer may take additional time to reflect the refund in your account.

Unauthorised or fraudulent chargebacks may result in:
- Immediate suspension of your account
