Demand an Oculus Refund With DoNotPay

Oculus is a Facebook, Inc subsidiary specializing in virtual reality hardware and software products. The current products are the Oculus Rift S for PC as well as Oculus Go and Oculus Quest (standalone headsets that do not require a PC to operate).

The Oculus Refund Policy

Oculus Refund Policy has made it possible for customers to request a refund if they find their purchase unsatisfactory for any reason. Policy rules vary when it comes to digital content purchased through Oculus devices, and they branch into:

  1. Rift/Quest Content Refund Policy
  2. Go/Gear VR Content Refund Policy

Rift/Quest Refund Policy

Rift/Quest policy applies to digital content bought through Oculus for Oculus Rift, Rift S, and Quest devices.

To be eligible for a Rift/Quest refund, you have to meet two criteria:

  1. Apply for a refund within 14 days of the purchase
  2. Have used the content for less than two hours

Go/Gear VR Refund Policy

Go/Gear VR policy pertains to digital content purchased through Oculus for Oculus Go or Samsung Gear VR devices.

To qualify for a refund, you have to:

  1. Request it within three days of the purchase date
  2. Have interacted with the content for under 30 minutes

In most cases, the refunds regulated by these policies are automated, so if you don't qualify for such a refund, you will have to contact Customer Support.

Oculus states that the refund program covered by the policy may cease to be valid at any time for whatever reason. Refund requests under this policy will be deemed as if the policy were still in effect, within 14 days (Rift/Quest request) or three days (Go/Gear VR request) after this policy's closure, for eligible purchases made until and through the last day of availability of the refund program.

Is My Purchase Eligible for a Refund?

The products eligible for returns and refunds are apps, games, and various experiences, as long as you meet the general requirements regarding Rift/Quest and Go/Gear VR refund policies, respectively.

What Oculus Products Do Not Qualify for a Refund?

Automated Rift/Quest refunds do not apply in the following situations:

  • Previously refunded purchase
  • Longer-than-two-hour content interaction on Rift/Quest devices or over-30-minute content interaction on Go/Gear VR devices
  • Refund request exceeding 14-day window (Rift/Quest content) or 3-day limit (Go/Gear VR content)
  • Third-party purchases
  • Movies, bundles, part-bundle purchases, DLC, and in-app purchases

Oculus reserves the right to deny your refund request if your purchased product does not meet the eligibility criteria or if they perceive that you are abusing the refund program in any way.
