Bohemias monetization rules;
From December 1st 2015, anyone who registers, is approved, and is listed on https://www.bohemia.net/monetization/approved/dayz is allowed following monetization of their Dayz "private shard" servers:
Charging players to access your server, if the fees and associated perks do not affect gameplay in any way, is allowed. Limiting access to only paying players is allowed. Servers with access limited to paying players must be on a different hive, or have rules and settings identical to the freely accessible servers.
Product placement, in-game advertising and sponsorship is allowed. Accepting donations is allowed, but to avoid any doubts: not providing donations must not prevent anyone from accessing the content.
Selling of in-game items, that don’t affect gameplay, and selling of cosmetic perks are allowed. (Applicable only to servers with mods, after modding support has been added to Dayz)
Please remember, that these rules do not apply to public hive Dayz servers or the Dayz mod!
If we feel anyone on the list at https://www.bohemia.net/monetization/approved/dayz is exploiting any loopholes or is not acting in the best interests of the community, we will remove them. That will mean they will have to cease this kind of monetization immediately or face legal action.

Here is a standard, professional No-Refund Policy template. It is designed to be clean, direct, and fair for digital communities, server donations, or modding perks.
You can copy and customize the bracketed text [like this] to fit your specific setup.
Thank you for supporting Camelot. By choosing to submit a donation, purchase a server perk, or buy custom digital assets [such as custom cosmetics or queue priority], you agree to the following terms regarding refunds:
All financial transactions made to Camelot are considered digital donations or immediate fulfillment digital services. Because these digital perks [e.g., reserved slots, cosmetic reskins] or server supports are applied directly to your account upon purchase, all transactions are strictly non-refundable.
We enforce a strict code of conduct to ensure a fair and enjoyable environment for everyone.
If a player is banned, suspended, or restricted from our servers or Discord for violating community rules, no refunds will be issued for any active perks, packages, or donations.
We are not responsible for global bans issued by game developers or anti-cheat systems [e.g., BattlEye, Bohemia Interactive, Valve, etc.]. No refunds will be provided under these circumstances.
While we aim to maintain maximum uptime, server maintenance, patches, or unexpected technical issues may cause temporary downtime. Furthermore, game updates can occasionally break custom digital modifications.
Permanent or temporary loss of access to a perk due to technical updates, server wipes, or eventual server closure does not entitle the user to a refund.
Initiating a chargeback, dispute, or reversal through your payment processor [such as PayPal, Stripe, or your bank] without first contacting community management will result in:
An immediate, permanent ban from all of our servers, services, and community platforms.
Your account details being added to a shared industry blacklist for fraudulent chargebacks.
Put it where people pay: Make sure this policy is clearly visible on your donation page, Tebex shop, or Discord store before someone clicks checkout.
Add a checkbox: If possible, require users to check a box that says "I agree to the No-Refund Policy" before making a payment. This gives you solid evidence if someone tries to open a PayPal dispute later.
