Can I get a refund from Sync Overlay after cancelling?

Yes, in two main cases: (1) inside a statutory cooling-off window from when you first subscribed (14 days in the UK and EU; US auto-renewal laws vary by state), and (2) if you can show a service breach (downtime, undelivered feature, mis-advertised plan). Outside those, Sync Overlay's policy applies, sometimes pro-rata, sometimes nothing. A card-issuer chargeback remains the backstop everywhere.

What if they ignore my refund request?

Wait 14 days from the first email. If no reply, dispute the charge with your card issuer, "services not provided" and "subscription not cancelled" are valid chargeback reason codes on every major card network, and your bank pursues it, not you. The regional rights section above lists the stronger local escalation routes where they exist.

Will my account be deleted if I get a refund?

No, a refund and an account closure are separate. The refund returns the money for the disputed charge; your account stays live (often downgraded to a free tier). If you also want the account deleted, request that explicitly in the same email so it's handled in one round.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a Sync Overlay Refund If Your Key Fails.

Sync Overlay refunds are per-order, here's what their policy actually says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.

The short answer

The only published refund rule is in the homepage FAQ, and it covers one-off key purchases (Arc Raiders, Call of Duty and Rainbow Six Siege products). You get a refund only if the key isn't delivered or won't activate, and support can't fix it. The site mentions no refund window and no partial refund for unused time, and it doesn't say whether game bans or detected products count. There is no visible subscription, so no recurring-charge refund rule was found. If you were charged more than once, or charged for something you didn't order, raise it with support and keep a copy.

What Sync Overlay actually says

“Refunds are provided in cases where delivery or activation fails and support is unable to resolve it.”
, verbatim from Sync Overlay’s terms

Pro-rata refund: no

How long does a Sync Overlay refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Refund FAQ for Sync Overlay

Sync Overlay typically processes refunds within 7-14 working days once approved, back to the original payment method. Card refunds show up faster than bank-transfer refunds. If you don't see it in 14 days, follow up by reply on the same email thread, your card issuer can also confirm whether the funds have been requested back.
