Refund policy.

Nokta Notes comes with a 30-day trial on Windows and is free on Linux. If you do buy it and change your mind, the refund goes through Microsoft.

Try before you buy

On Windows, Nokta Notes comes with a 30-day free trial. It is the complete app — every feature, no limits, no account, no payment details. The trial is run by the Microsoft Store, so it starts automatically when you install and needs nothing from you.

The best way to avoid needing a refund is to use those 30 days. If Nokta Notes isn't right for you, simply don't buy it when the trial ends.

On Linux, Nokta Notes is free, so there is nothing to refund.

If you want a refund

Nokta Notes for Windows is sold through the Microsoft Store, and Microsoft is the merchant of record. That means Microsoft takes your payment, and Microsoft handles refunds — BadgerSoft cannot issue one.

To request a refund, use your Microsoft account:

  1. Go to your Microsoft account order history.
  2. Find the Nokta Notes purchase.
  3. Choose Request a refund and follow the steps.

Whether a refund is granted, and how long it takes to reach your payment method, is determined by Microsoft's refund policy rather than by us. Microsoft will tell you the outcome directly.

What happens to your notes

Nothing. Your notes are files on your own device, and a refund does not touch them.

Nokta Notes stores your work in .nokta files that stay exactly where you put them. If you refund or uninstall, those files remain, and you can still open them if you install the app again later. In folder mode, your .md and .txt files are ordinary files on disk and are never modified by a refund.

There are no license keys to deactivate, because Nokta Notes doesn't use them.

Something wrong rather than something unwanted?

If the app is broken rather than simply not for you, please get in touch before asking for a refund — a bug we can fix helps every user. Use the contact form on the Support page and tell us what happened, which version you're on, and which platform. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected either way.
