Refund and Returns Policy
Effective: April 2024 · Last updated: August 16, 2026
What changed in this version
- The guarantee is now one canonical sentence — full purchase price, 30 days from your purchase date — shared word for word with our Terms and Conditions.
- The 30 days run from the purchase date.
- You do not have to complete a session first.
- Session length corrected to 45–120 minutes.
- Outdated wording about access duration removed.
- Adds the Request a Refund form as a third route.
- Adds the clause covering products we no longer sell.
This policy explains how our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee works, how to ask for a refund and how it is paid. It uses the same words as our Terms and Conditions.
1. The 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Every purchase is covered by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: tell us within 30 days of your purchase date — Request a Refund in the site footer, +1 888-795-1117 or [email protected] — and we refund the full purchase price to your original payment method, usually within 5–10 business days, whether or not you have completed your VIP Remote Setup Session. One payment. Nothing renews.
Phone hours: Mon–Fri 11am–8pm EST.
The guarantee covers every product sold on vshieldsoft.com in all four families — Device Protection, Privacy & Identity, Performance & Care and Home & Family. It also applies, on the same terms, to any product we no longer sell.
Products currently sold (reference list — the scope sentence above governs): Device Protection Essential · Device Protection Plus · Device Protection Premier · Password & Account Lockdown · Digital Footprint Cleanup · Cyber Privacy Suite · PC Tune-Up & Care · Backup & Recovery Plan · New Device Migration & Care · Home Network Lockdown · Personal Tech Coaching · Family Digital Safety Plan · Home-Office Security Package.
2. Your VIP Remote Setup Session
Every plan includes at least one VIP Remote Setup Session, 45–120 minutes depending on the product, in which a technician installs and configures your software or settings with you. If something is not working, we would like the chance to help — call +1 888-795-1117 (Mon–Fri 11am–8pm EST) — but you do not have to complete a session, or let us troubleshoot, before asking for a refund.
3. One payment, nothing renews
Every product is a single one-time payment. Nothing renews and there are no subscriptions, so there is nothing to cancel. Each product page states its term (12 or 24 months) under “Term end” and exactly what ends with it — that differs by product, so the product page governs. When the term ends your licence simply ends: nothing renews, nothing is charged automatically and there is no card on file to charge. If you want to carry on, you buy the product again at the price shown at that time. A refund applies to that one-time payment.
4. How to request a refund
Within 30 days of your purchase date, use any of these routes:
- Request a Refund in the site footer — a short form that asks for your name, email, phone, order number, product and reason, emails you a one-time code first and includes a reCAPTCHA checkbox;
- call +1 888-795-1117 (Mon–Fri 11am–8pm EST);
- email [email protected].
Please include your order number and the email address you used at checkout. We reply during support hours.
If you are thinking of disputing a charge with your card issuer, we ask that you contact us first — a refund request through any route above is usually the fastest way to receive your refund.
5. How refunds are processed
Refunds are paid to the original payment method, usually within 5–10 business days depending on your bank or card issuer. Where a product includes software, its licence key is deactivated when the refund is issued and your licence to use that software ends, so please uninstall it. Any sessions, support or reports included in that purchase and not yet used end at the same time — a refund unwinds the whole purchase, not part of it.
6. Situations not covered
- Requests made more than 30 days after the purchase date.
