Brainrune sells digital products, plugin licences and credit packs for Brainrune Keywords, and custom work on WooCommerce stores. Nothing is shipped, so there is nothing to send back. This page explains the refund you are entitled to by law, the refund we give beyond that, and how to ask for one. It sits alongside our Terms of Service.
The seller is Brainrune, based in Romania, reachable at contact@brainrune.com.
Your legal right of withdrawal
If you buy as a consumer, that is for purposes outside your trade or profession, Government Emergency Ordinance 34/2014, which implements Directive 2011/83/EU, gives you 14 calendar days to withdraw from a distance contract without giving a reason. For digital content the period runs from the day the contract is concluded.
The exception for digital content
Article 16(m) of the same ordinance removes the right of withdrawal for digital content delivered right away, once you have asked for delivery to start within the 14 days, acknowledged that you lose the right of withdrawal, and received our confirmation.
At checkout you tick a box giving that consent, because a licence key and its download, or a batch of credits, reach you within seconds of payment. Your confirmation email repeats it. From the moment the licence is issued or the credits land on your account, the statutory right of withdrawal no longer applies. If you do not tick the box, delivery waits until the 14 days have passed or until you ask for it, and your right of withdrawal stays intact.
Because that exception would otherwise leave you with nothing, we give the refunds below by contract, whenever the statutory right has lapsed.
Custom work
For a store or plugin built to order, the 14 days run from the day you accept the offer. If you ask us to start before they are over and then withdraw, you pay for the work done up to that point. Once the work is fully delivered at your request, the right of withdrawal ends.
The refunds we give anyway
Plugin licences
If a Pro plugin does not work on your site and we cannot fix it within 14 days of your purchase, you get the full amount back. We only ask that you write to us and let us try: most problems are a conflict with another plugin and take a day to solve. Asking for help does not shorten the 14 days.
The free version of every plugin is on WordPress.org. Install it first and you will know before you pay whether it fits your store.
Renewals
We email you before every renewal, before the card is charged. If a renewal goes through and you tell us within 14 days that you no longer want the licence, and it has not been used since the renewal, we refund that renewal in full.
Credit packs for Brainrune Keywords
A pack can be refunded in full within 14 days of purchase as long as no credit from it has been spent. Once you have run a report from a pack, the pack is used, because the data behind the report was bought from a third party the moment you pressed Run. A sample report is available without an account, so you can see what a report contains before you buy.
If a report returns nothing because our data provider failed, its credits go back to your account automatically. You do not need to ask.
Something charged by mistake
A duplicate charge, a charge for something you did not order, or a renewal taken after you cancelled is refunded in full whenever you notice it, with no time limit.
Subscriptions
Pro licences and maintenance plans are subscriptions, paid monthly or yearly. You can cancel a licence at any time from your account, and a maintenance plan by email, with the notice stated in your offer. Cancelling stops the next payment and you keep what you paid for until the end of the current period. Cancelling does not refund the current period, except in the cases in section 2.
Credit packs are one-off purchases and never renew by themselves.
What is not refunded
- Credits spent on reports that ran correctly, including a report run on the wrong keyword or the wrong market.
- Credits that expired unused.
- A licence period that has already run, while the plugin worked as described.
- Custom work delivered and accepted, apart from fixing defects under the 30-day warranty in the Terms.
- Results. Search volumes, rankings, traffic and advertising outcomes depend on third parties, and an estimate that turns out wrong is not a defect.
- Purchases made through a reseller or a marketplace, which are refunded by whoever sold them.
None of this limits your rights when a product is faulty. If a plugin or a piece of work does not do what we said it would, you are entitled to have it brought into conformity, or to a price reduction or a refund, under Government Ordinance 141/2021 on digital content and services. Those rights last two years and are not affected by the time limits above.
If we stop selling something
If we close Brainrune Keywords, unused credits bought in the previous 12 months are refunded pro rata, without you having to ask. If we stop selling a plugin, the current licence period runs to its end and is not renewed.
How to ask for a refund
Write to contact@brainrune.com from the address on the order, or open a ticket from your account, and give us the order number and one line about what went wrong. You may use the withdrawal form below, but any clear statement is enough.
We answer within one working day. An approved refund is paid within 14 days of our decision, to the card or account you paid from, in the currency you paid, at no cost to you. Your bank may take a few more working days to show it.
When a licence is refunded, its key stops working and the Pro features switch off. When a credit pack is refunded, its credits are removed from your account.
Business customers
The statutory right of withdrawal belongs to consumers. If you buy with a company VAT or registration number on the invoice, it does not apply to you, but everything we promise in section 2 does, on the same terms.
Disputes
Please write to us first. Almost everything is settled in one email. If we cannot agree, a consumer in Romania may complain to the National Authority for Consumer Protection, ANPC, and use its alternative dispute resolution service (SAL) under Government Ordinance 38/2015. A consumer in another EU country may use the dispute resolution body of their own country. None of this takes away your right to go to court.
If you disagree with a charge, tell us before you open a dispute with your bank. A chargeback opened without contacting us first suspends the account and its licences until the bank closes the case.
