Refund policy
What happens if something goes wrong or you change your mind.
Last updated November 2026
Before you download
If you ask within 7 days of paying, and you haven’t downloaded your specification or drawings, we’ll refund your $12.99 in full.
If something doesn’t work
If a technical problem on our side stops you from getting your documents, tell us and we’ll fix it. If we can’t, we’ll refund you.
After you download
Because the documents are digital and can’t be returned, purchases are generally not refundable once you’ve downloaded your files, except for the technical problems above.
Extra drawings
Extra drawings ($2 each) are refundable on the same terms, as long as you haven’t used them to download your files.
The USPTO’s fee
The USPTO’s filing fee is paid directly to the USPTO. We can’t refund it, and we aren’t able to get it back for you.
How to ask
Contact us using the details in the page footer, from the email address on your account, and tell us what happened. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method, and your bank may take a few days to show them.
After a refund, your account is closed and you won’t be able to download your files, so please keep your own copies of anything you want.
