Refund Policy
All of our software products have trial versions. We urge customers to download and test the software on their computers before purchasing the Licence Key required to unlock the full version.
Software Licenses
Because all of our software products are available as trial versions and therefore an opportunity exists to test the product before purchase, refunds for software products will only be granted within 90 days of purchase if:
- The software product appears to be defective or is not fit for its stated purpose (as described on the PassMark website) and;
- This fault was not detectable in the trial version of the software, and;
- You have contacted us (by email to help@passmark.com) within 7 days of finding the fault and provided a full description of the problem and details of your computer (e.g. OS, processor, RAM, etc), and;
- Our technical support department has been unable to provide a fix or work-around within 14 days of you contacting us.
Generally refunds will not be offered to customers who have 'changed their minds' or made a 'mistake' when ordering software, as items are confirmed before the final purchase is made on the website. Exception will be made for inadvertent 'double orders'.
Subscription Licences
You can cancel your subscription any time via your PassMark Account. We do not refund licences part way through a subscription period. Upon cancellation, your latest payment is non-refundable and your service will continue until the end of that month's billing period.
Hardware Items
Any return for a refund may be subject to a 15% restocking fee. All hardware items come with a warranty of 180 days, a refund or replacement will be processed if:
- You purchased the product from us.
- The hardware product appears to be defective or is not fit for its stated purpose (as described on the PassMark website) and;
- You have contacted us (by email to help@passmark.com) within 7 days of finding the fault and provided a full description of the problem and details of your computer (e.g. OS, processor, RAM, etc), and;
- Our technical support department has been unable to provide a fix or work-around within 14 days of you contacting us.
- The hardware has not been physically or electrically abused. (e.g. dropped, hit by lighting, etc..)
The 15% re-stocking fee may be waived for the following reasons:
- Carrier damage

- Product was an extra item not ordered
Note 1: Any return that is misrepresented as being for any of the above reasons will automatically have the restocking fee applied even if it was initially waived.
