At VietnamVPS.net (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “VietnamVPS”), we want you to be satisfied with our services. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which you may be eligible for a refund.
1. Eligibility for Refunds
We offer refunds under the following conditions:

This does *not* include scheduled maintenance (which we will announce in advance) or issues caused by your actions, third-party software, or events outside our reasonable control (force majeure).
- Technical Issues: If you experience a technical issue with your VPS that our support team is unable to resolve within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., [Y] hours/days), and the issue is demonstrably due to our infrastructure or configuration, you may be eligible for a refund.
- Billing Errors: If you are overcharged due to a billing error on our part, we will issue a full refund for the overcharged amount.
- Within [Z] Days of Initial Purchase (Money-Back Guarantee – *Optional*): We may offer a [Z]-day money-back guarantee for new customers on certain VPS plans. *If* you offer this, clearly state which plans are eligible and any specific conditions (e.g., usage limits). For example: “We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on our AMD VPS and Linux VPS plans for new customers. To be eligible, you must request a refund within 7 days of your initial order and your bandwidth usage must be below [Amount] GB.”
