11. What Is Covered vs. What Is Not

To keep our prices competitive and our service fast, we ask customers to read the conditions below. Our Buyer Protection does not cover:

  • Keys that you have already activated on a device (the licence now binds to that hardware).
  • The wrong product chosen by mistake when we have delivered a working key (for example, you bought Windows 11 Home but needed Pro) โ€” however, we will usually offer a paid upgrade.
  • Issues caused by unsupported hardware (for instance, trying to install Windows 11 on a device that fails the TPM 2.0 check).
  • Damage to electronics caused by misuse, accidents, unauthorised repairs, or fair wear and tear.
  • Damage caused by third-party software, unauthorised modifications, or pirated tools.

On the other hand, we fully protect all other issues with this Buyer Protection program โ€” non-activation, non-delivery, wrong product sent, duplicate charges, DOA hardware, and account access.


12. Your Legal Rights

We are a UK-registered company โ€” DS ONLINE UK LTD, Company No. 10132309 โ€” registered at Suit 15, 58 Chetwynd Road, London, England, NW5 1DJ. We fully comply with:

  • UK Consumer Rights Act 2015
  • Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
  • UK GDPR and EU GDPR (data protection)
  • EU Consumer Rights Directive (for EU customers)

Nothing on this page and the Buyer Protection program reduces or replaces the statutory rights you have as a consumer.


How to Open a Buyer Protection Claim

We aim to resolve every issue in a single conversation. Here is how to start your Buyer Protection claim:

Step 1 โ€” Contact our support team. Send us a message via email, live chat, or WhatsApp with:

  • Your order number
  • The email address you used to place the order
  • A short description of the issue
  • A screenshot of any error message you see during activation

Step 2 โ€” We investigate. A specialist will reply within a few minutes (usually under 5 minutes during business hours) and verify your order against our records.

Step 3 โ€” Resolution. We will offer you one of the following:

  • Professional support with step-by-step instructions to fix the issue
  • A free replacement product (if necessary)
  • A full refund to your original payment method

Step 4 โ€” Escalation (if needed). If our outcome does not satisfy you, you can also open a dispute through your payment provider (PayPal Buyer Protection, Stripe Dispute, or your card issuer) โ€” and we will fully cooperate.

We commit to processing all approved refunds within 8โ€“10 business days to your original payment method.

License Agreement

License Agreement

The judgment of the Federal Court of 7 July 2001. the sale of OEM versions and DSP License iconVersionen was allowed without associated hardware. In the computer industry, manufacturers are called OEM, which we made products or systems of purchased components. Therefore, they may use this license on any computer xbeliebigem. This is in federal court judgment of 06.07.2000 – also clearly documented I ZR 244/97.

Microsoft must put in the OEM dispute defeat

The Bundesgerichtshof (BGH) has led dispute over the coupled Sales of software and PC hardware dismissed in for months a lawsuit by Microsoft against a Berlin PC manufacturers and thus also the legal status with hardware “gebundelter” programs ( “Original Equipment Manufacturer “(OEM) – or” Delivery service Pack “(DSP) software) determines which had been disputed among lawyers.

Yesterday, July 6, 2000 the 1st Division of the Supreme Court has decided after an oral hearing that a software company traders who are not contractually associated with it, each resale of “entbundelter” Software – the manufacturer marking only the joint distribution with particular the new hardware is provided – to consumers can not prohibit. According to BGH The copyright provides no recourse for the enforcement of such sales restrictions.

This sets the highest competent federal court a line under a dispute between Microsoft and many traders who are not direct contractors of the software group, but individually OEM or DSP versions about Windows or Office packages or with self-imposed (also used) Hardware proposed to end customers.

As a special slap the software industry, the adoption of the Supreme Court can be said that the split distribution of software represents (as a regular full-price and when discounted OEM version) is not a necessary and worthy of protection law. Microsoft had argued that in the interests of combating piracy to be dependent on such marketing concept. If the company Microsoft programs at a discounted price PC makers abgebe to promote PC original equipment with their products, had no reason – according to the BGH – why not interested should come to an isolated copy of the program to benefit from the lower price. The interest of a manufacturer, different market segments to use with different prices, so it was said, would not otherwise protected by the legal system. In the language of the house Microsoft the actual OEM versions, which are once again significantly cheaper than DSP products (Microsoft products), major contractors such as Compaq, IBM, Dell or Fujitsu Siemens reserved – depending on contracts obtained this hardware manufacturers only the necessary licensing rights to equip their products with the appropriate software, but no complete original packages.

German copyright law allows the author of a protected work (or about the manufacturer of the software product) to determine, among other things about the reproduction and use of his work and to grant third parties the relevant rights fee. This disposal right of the author, which always refers directly to each individual item produced, however, exhausted by its delivery (or transfer of manufacturing rights) to a licensee – for example, an OEM partner. The manufacturer can thus for example an end customer who only has an agreement with its dealers, but no direct contract with the manufacturer, not ban, be legal erstandenes copy to sell, unless he changed nothing in it.

The BGH has now thus creating a piece of legal certainty. A certain distribution channel can not be enforced by means of copyright. Consequently, now is also likely to an end customer, which is about an OEM – acquires product with a new computer and this operating system does not use the software in good conscience continue to sell. Neither he nor the ultimate purchaser would thereby violate the copyright.

Return and Refund Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2026

This policy applies to every purchase made through https://buynowkey.com, operated by DS ONLINE UK LTD, trading as Buy Now Key (“us”, “we”, or “our”).

It is governed by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Nothing in this policy limits or replaces your statutory rights as a consumer.

1. Digital Products (Software License Keys)

Most of what we sell are digital license keys delivered to your email, usually within a few minutes of payment. The terms below apply to all digital purchases.

1.1 Withdrawing Before Your Key Is Sent

You may cancel and withdraw from your order at any point before we send the license key to you, with no reason required. The simplest way is through our Withdrawal Request form; you can also email us at support@buynowkey.com with your order number. We will acknowledge your request by email and issue a full refund.

1.2 The Digital Content Exception

At checkout you are asked to expressly request immediate delivery of your digital products and to confirm that you understand your 14-day right of withdrawal ends once they have been sent to you. Accordingly, once your key has been sent to the email address you provided โ€” or once it has been activated or registered with the manufacturer โ€” the statutory right of withdrawal no longer applies, because supply has begun with your prior consent.

This reflects Regulation 37 of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the same 14-day right and its digital-content exception apply under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU, Article 16(m)).

1.3 Faulty, Invalid, or Mis-Described Keys

Independently of the right of withdrawal, you are entitled to a full refund or a free replacement (your choice) if:

  • the key is invalid or fails to activate after our support team has tried to help you resolve the issue;
  • the product delivered does not match its description on our website.

Our genuine-product guarantee carries no time limit: if a key we supplied is later found to be inauthentic, we will replace or refund it regardless of how much time has passed. Full details are on our Buyer Protection page.

1.4 How to Claim a Refund on a Digital Product

  1. Contact us at support@buynowkey.com with your order number and a clear description of the problem.
  2. We respond โ€” usually within minutes, and always within 24 hours.
  3. Activation help first โ€” free activation support is included with every purchase, so we will try to get your key working before anything else.
  4. Resolution โ€” if we cannot fix it, we issue a replacement key or a full refund, whichever you prefer.

Approved refunds for digital products are returned to your original payment method within 8โ€“10 business days.

2. Physical Products (Electronics)

The terms below apply to hardware such as laptops, desktops, netbooks, all-in-one computers, and custom-built PCs.

2.1 Your Right to Cancel

You have 14 days from the day after delivery to cancel a physical-product order without giving a reason, in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

2.2 How to Cancel

Tell us in writing within those 14 days โ€” by email to support@buynowkey.com โ€” quoting your order number and a clear statement that you wish to cancel.

  • it must be returned in the condition you received it โ€” unused, with all original packaging and accessories;
  • the cost of return shipping is yours;
  • we recommend a tracked, insured service, as we cannot refund items lost in transit.

2.4 Custom-Built PCs

Made-to-order PCs go into production as soon as the order is placed, so:

  • within 24 hours of ordering: full refund;
  • after 24 hours: a โ‚ฌ35 cancellation fee applies, deducted from your refund, to cover components already allocated to your build;
  • after delivery: the standard 14-day cancellation period applies.

2.5 Restocking

Items returned in a condition that is not re-saleable (damaged, missing parts, or showing signs of use) may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 25% of the product price. We will tell you about any deduction before processing your refund.

2.6 Refund Timing for Physical Products

Once we receive your return and confirm its condition, we issue your refund within 14 days to your original payment method.

3. Faulty or Defective Products

If a product develops a fault, please report it to us promptly by email to support@buynowkey.com with your order details and a description of the problem.

3.1 Repair, Replacement, or Refund

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund for faulty goods, and we will work with you to reach the best outcome.

3.2 End-of-Life Products

If a faulty item is no longer manufactured, we will supply a replacement with comparable performance. With graphics cards, for example, this might be a newer model achieving similar (+/- 5%) 3D Mark 2011 results to the original.

3.3 Third-Party Hardware and Software

Before testing a returned PC, we will remove any third-party hardware or software added after purchase, so the system can be tested in its original shipped condition. Issues caused by third-party modifications are not covered by our warranty.

4. Orders We Cancel

We may decline or cancel an order โ€” for instance, where we suspect fraud, a payment cannot be verified, or a product becomes unavailable. If we cancel after payment has been taken, you receive a full refund within 8โ€“10 business days.

5. Circumstances Beyond Our Control

We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, strikes, cyber-attacks, or the actions of third-party providers such as manufacturers, payment processors, or couriers.

This policy does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer, including those under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and (for EU consumers) the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU.

The Service may include links to third-party websites or services that Buy Now Key neither owns nor controls.

We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party site or service. You acknowledge that Buy Now Key is not liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage connected with the use of, or reliance on, any content, goods, or services available through those sites. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

Orders, Pricing and Payment

  • Please double-check that the details you give us are correct, since we rely on them to contact you and to deliver your order.
  • We will do our best to supply the product you ordered, or to offer you a suitable alternative.
  • The product description and price shown on your order are the only details that form part of our sales contract; no advertisement forms part of that contract. These Terms override any earlier understanding, whether spoken or written.
  • Choosing the right product is ultimately the customer’s decision. Our staff and guides are happy to help you decide, but the final choice of what to buy rests with you.
  • Prices in the software and computing sector move quickly, so we recommend checking all the details at the point of purchase. Your order confirmation is the definitive record of which products were supplied and at what price.
  • Prices shown on the website exclude VAT.
  • Where applicable, prices do not include delivery charges; any amount payable and the available options are shown clearly at checkout and on the order confirmation page.
  • Ownership of a product transfers from Buy Now Key to you only once we have received cleared funds for it (including any delivery charges) โ€” not before. From the point of delivery, however, the product is your responsibility. If payment is not made on time, and without limiting any other remedy available to us, Buy Now Key may cancel or hold any other order you have placed until the outstanding balance is settled.
  • If a price looks too good to be true, please check with us before ordering. Should we spot a pricing error after an order is placed, we will contact you promptly and let you choose between buying at the corrected price or cancelling for a full refund. We will hold the order until we hear from you; if we cannot reach you using the details you provided, we will treat the order as cancelled and confirm this in writing.
  • We do not share your personal information with third parties without authorisation, and we take reasonable steps to protect the data we hold from unauthorised access.
  • For security or other legitimate reasons, Buy Now Key may decline any order. Where payment has already been taken, a full refund will be issued within 5โ€“10 business days.

Digital Products (Software License Keys)

The majority of products on https://buynowkey.com are digital license keys sent to your email, usually within a few minutes of payment and, in any case, normally within 24 hours.

Once your digital products have been sent to the email address you provided โ€” or once a key has been activated or registered with the manufacturer โ€” it can no longer be returned or refunded simply because you changed your mind. This reflects the digital-content exception to the right of withdrawal explained under “Cancellation and Right of Withdrawal” below, and is standard practice across the software licensing industry.

If a key turns out to be faulty, invalid, or not as described, you remain fully covered by our Return and Refund Policy and our Buyer Protection.

Physical Products (Electronics)

Delivery

  • For physical orders, we can only ship to the address at which your credit or debit card is registered.
  • Delivery times can vary, and we always aim to be as quick as possible. If you are out when the courier calls, they will leave a card with the local depot’s contact details so you can arrange redelivery at a time that suits you.

Hardware Warranty

  • Physical products supplied by Buy Now Key carry a non-transferable 1-year hardware warranty from the delivery date. This warranty does not cover defects arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accidents, or negligence by you or anyone else. Using a product against our recommendations, ignoring our instructions, or carrying out any unapproved alteration or repair will also void the warranty.
  • Buy Now Key is not responsible for any data lost through software or hardware failure โ€” please back up your data regularly to reduce the impact of any such event.
  • Buy Now Key accepts no responsibility for any customer-supplied hardware brought to us for installation into a custom-built system.
  • A product can sometimes appear faulty when nothing is physically wrong with it. Our engineers use industry-standard testing to identify the true nature of any reported issue, and our warranty covers hardware only.

Faults and Defective Products

Please let us know about any fault as soon as you notice it, ideally by email with your order details included. We will work with you toward the best outcome, whether that is a repair or a replacement. Occasionally a product reaches “end of life” before a fault appears; where an identical repair or replacement is not possible, Buy Now Key will provide an alternative with comparable performance. With graphics cards, for instance, that might mean a newer model achieving similar (+/- 5%) 3D Mark 2011 results to the original.

If you buy a system from Buy Now Key and later believe it is faulty, we will first remove any third-party hardware and restore the machine to its original shipped condition before testing, so we can confirm the supplied hardware works. Problems caused by hardware or software added after purchase should be raised with whoever supplied those items. Buy Now Key does not warrant that your system will work with any hardware or software not supplied and installed by one of our trained engineers.

Cancellation and Right of Withdrawal

Digital Products

Consumers have a 14-day right to cancel or withdraw from a distance contract. Because our license keys are digital content delivered straight away, you are asked at checkout to expressly request immediate delivery and to confirm that this right ends once your digital products have been sent to you. Until they are sent, you may withdraw at any time by using our Withdrawal Request form, and we will acknowledge your request by email. The full procedure is set out in our Return and Refund Policy.

Physical Products

Off-the-shelf physical products are covered by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Custom-built PCs and any product that is customised or made to order are exempt from the standard cancellation right to the extent those Regulations allow.

To cancel a physical-product order under those Regulations, please notify us by email within 14 days of receipt, quoting your order number and stating clearly that you wish to cancel. We will refund the price of the product(s) in full, including standard delivery, as soon as possible. Return shipping is at your cost, and items must come back in their original, re-saleable condition.

Custom-Built PCs

To cancel a custom-built PC order, you must notify us within 24 hours of placing it. After that point, Buy Now Key may apply a โ‚ฌ35 cancellation fee, deducted from your refund, to cover components already set aside for your build.

Statutory Rights and Disclaimer

Buy Now Key is committed to honouring your statutory rights as a consumer. At the same time, to the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all liability for the supply of goods and services, and we cannot be held responsible for problems caused by events beyond our control or by third parties.

Your use of the Service is at your own risk. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance.

Termination

We may suspend or close your account at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any reason โ€” including a breach of these Terms.

On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. You can close your own account at any time simply by ceasing to use the Service.

Any provisions that by their nature should continue after termination will do so, including ownership rights, warranty disclaimers, indemnities, and limitations of liability.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you also enjoy the mandatory consumer-protection rights of your country of residence, including your right of withdrawal under Directive 2011/83/EU. Nothing in these Terms removes those rights.

A failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions stay in full effect. These Terms represent the entire agreement between us regarding the Service and replace any prior agreements.

Changes

We may revise or replace these Terms at any time at our discretion. Where a change is material, we will aim to give at least 30 days’ notice before the new terms take effect; what counts as material is determined at our discretion.

By continuing to use the Service after revised terms take effect, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not accept the new terms, please stop using the Service.
