This refund policy does not apply to proxies used on sneaker & clothing websites. Yourprivateproxy is not responsible for bot failures, bans or any other issues that may occur during a release and that are not related directly to our proxy servers (down proxies). Results from bot proxy checkers and online proxy checkers that may indicate down or bad proxies will NOT be taken into account as they are not reliable testing tools. When in doubt please test your proxy in browser. More information on how to test your proxies in browser can be found in the FAQ section.
