Mock Brains Brain Stack
Refund Policy
This policy explains refund eligibility for the Mock Brains Brain Stack, a digital product delivered instantly upon purchase.
Fourteen days. If the setup scripts cannot complete your deployment, or your Oracle Cloud region has no Always Free A1 capacity, email support@mockbrains.com with your order number and you get a full refund to your original payment method. One refund per product per purchaser. Oracle charges, third-party services and a change of mind are not covered.
1. Digital Product Nature
The Mock Brains Brain Stack is a digital product (downloadable ZIP file) delivered instantly upon purchase. Once downloaded, the product cannot be "returned" in the traditional sense.
2. 14-Day Refund Policy
You may request a refund within 14 days of your purchase date if you followed the setup guide and either:
- Could not complete deployment due to issues with the setup scripts, OR
- Could not obtain Oracle Cloud Always Free A1 capacity in your region
One refund per product per purchaser.
3. What Refunds Do Not Cover
Refunds are not available for:
- Third-party application issues: Problems with n8n, Ghost, Uptime Kuma, or other applications (these are separate projects not sold by Mock Brains)
- Oracle Cloud changes: Changes to Oracle's Always Free terms, availability, allocations, or resource limits (except A1 capacity, as covered in section 2)
- Setup difficulty: General difficulty completing the setup process (documentation is provided)
