Refund Policy

Our commitment to fairness — when and how we refund

Last updated: April 1, 2025

We want you to be happy. We offer a free 48-hour trial (5GB) so you can test the service before spending a peso. If you still experience a genuine technical issue after purchasing, we'll make it right.

1. Free Trial First

Before purchasing any paid data pack, every new user is eligible for a free 48-hour trial with 5GB of data. We strongly encourage you to use the trial to verify that the service works for your specific apps, device, and location before making a purchase.

The free trial is non-refundable (it costs nothing) and is the best way to evaluate compatibility with your needs.

2. When You Are Eligible for a Refund

We will issue a full refund of the amount paid if all of the following conditions are met:

Partial refunds (proportional to unused data) are not offered. Refunds are for the full pack price only.

3. When Refunds Are NOT Available

We do not offer refunds in the following situations:

5. Refund Processing

PayPal payments

Approved refunds for PayPal purchases will be returned to your PayPal account within 5–7 business days. The refund will be for the original amount paid, minus any PayPal transaction fees that we cannot recover.

GCash payments

Due to the peer-to-peer nature of GCash QR payments, cash refunds may not always be possible. In these cases, we will offer one of the following alternatives at our discretion:

We will discuss the best resolution with you directly.

6. Chargebacks & Disputes

We ask that you contact us directly before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with PayPal. We are a small business and chargebacks carry significant penalties for us. We genuinely want to resolve any issue fairly.

If you initiate a chargeback without first contacting us, we reserve the right to dispute the chargeback and present our records of service delivery as evidence. Fraudulent chargebacks may result in being permanently banned from the service.

7. Service Interruption Credits

If the KabayanVPN service experiences a confirmed outage lasting more than 24 consecutive hours due to our own infrastructure failure (not third-party or ISP-related), we will credit affected accounts with additional data proportional to the downtime.

To receive a credit, you must notify us and we must be able to verify that the outage affected your connection.

8. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Refund Policy at any time. The policy in effect at the time of your purchase governs your refund eligibility. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
