Frequently Asked Questions About Refunds

Can I get a refund if I'm experiencing motion sickness from a VR experience?

+

While motion sickness is a common reaction for some users new to VR, it is not generally grounds for a refund. We recommend trying our comfort settings that can reduce motion sickness, taking frequent breaks, and gradually building your VR tolerance. All our experiences include comfort ratings to help you choose experiences appropriate for your sensitivity level.

What if my VR hardware isn't compatible with an experience I purchased?

+

All our experiences clearly list hardware requirements on the product page. If you purchased an experience and later discovered your hardware doesn't meet the minimum requirements, you may be eligible for a refund if requested within 7 days of purchase and you haven't used the experience for more than 30 minutes. Future purchases should be checked against our compatibility tool available on each product page.

How do I cancel a subscription to avoid future charges?

+

To cancel a subscription, log into your account, go to "Subscriptions" in your account settings, select the subscription you wish to cancel, and click "Cancel Subscription." Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period. Please note that canceling a subscription doesn't automatically generate a refund for the current period.

What happens if I request a refund for one item in a bundle purchase?

+

Bundle purchases are considered single products and generally cannot be partially refunded. If you're dissatisfied with a specific component of a bundle, please contact our customer support team to discuss your options. In some cases, we may be able to offer store credit proportional to the value of the component in question.
