Refund Policy

Last Updated: June 25, 2025

1. Overview

This Refund Policy explains the circumstances under which Help Pay For Me may provide refunds for our digital payment facilitation services. Due to the nature of digital services and our role as an intermediary for Chinese platform transactions, refunds are limited and subject to specific conditions outlined below.

By using our services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Refund Policy, which forms part of our Terms of Service.

2. General Refund Principles

Important: Digital services are generally non-refundable once successfully delivered to your specified Chinese platform account. This policy protects both our service and prevents abuse of digital goods.

  • Successfully delivered digital services, subscriptions, or virtual goods
  • Service fees and processing charges
  • Third-party payment processor fees (PayPal, Intasend fees)
  • Currency conversion charges
  • Transactions completed due to user-provided incorrect information
  • Services purchased and used on Chinese platforms

  • Duplicate charges for the same transaction
  • Unauthorized transactions (subject to investigation)
  • Chinese platform permanently unavailable or discontinued
