Refund Policy

1. Overview

At SMSVerifier, we believe in a zero-risk experience. Our refund policy is designed to ensure you only pay for successful verifications. If an SMS is not delivered, you get your money back — automatically, instantly, no questions asked.

Here's a quick summary of the three scenarios:

2. Automatic Refunds

Every order on SMSVerifier has a 20-minute timeout window. If the target service does not send an SMS to the assigned number within this time, the following happens automatically:

• The order status changes to "Timeout"
• The full order amount is instantly returned to your account balance
• You do not need to request the refund — it happens automatically
• The refunded balance can be used immediately for a new order

3. Manual Cancellation

You can cancel any active order before an SMS is received. This is useful when:

• You ordered the wrong service or country
• You no longer need the verification
• You want to try a different number
• The SMS is taking too long and you want to try again immediately

How to cancel:

• Web: Click the "Cancel" button next to your active order on the dashboard
• API: Send a cancel request using the order ID endpoint

Upon cancellation, the full order amount is instantly refunded to your account balance.

4. Non-Refundable Cases

Refunds are not available in the following situations:

• SMS successfully delivered — Once an SMS code is received and displayed on your screen, the order is complete. The number was used and the code was delivered as promised
• Wrong service selected — If you ordered a number for Service A but used it for Service B and the SMS arrived, the order cannot be refunded. Choose services carefully
• Code not used — If an SMS code was delivered but you chose not to use it (e.g., the code expired, you changed your mind), this is not grounds for a refund
• Account termination for abuse — If your account is terminated due to violation of our Terms of Service, any remaining balance may be forfeited

5. Deposit Refunds

Funds added to your SMSVerifier account are considered prepaid credits:

• Deposits are generally non-refundable and are converted to account credit
• Account credit does not expire and remains available indefinitely
• Credit can be used for any service on the platform

Exceptional circumstances for deposit refunds:

• Duplicate payment — If you were charged twice for the same deposit due to a payment processing error, we will refund the duplicate
• Unauthorized charge — If a deposit was made without your authorization, contact us immediately
• Service discontinuation — If we permanently shut down the platform, remaining balances will be refunded

To request a deposit refund for exceptional circumstances, please contact our support team with your account email and transaction details.

7. Disputes & Chargebacks

If you believe a charge is incorrect or have a billing dispute:

8. Exceptions

We understand that sometimes unique situations arise. In rare cases, we may issue refunds outside the standard policy at our discretion. Examples include:

• Platform outage — If our system experienced downtime that affected your orders
• Technical errors — If a bug caused incorrect charges or order failures
• Bulk order issues — If you're an API user and experienced systematic failures due to a platform issue
