I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on (lemm.ee)

I bought Mega Man X Dive Offline, really hyped for it, but then when I double checked my VPN, I realized it was set for the Netherlands.... Not good, I thought I had it set for the US as per usual.

Now it still showed the price in USD, but now I'm paranoid, I put in a refund explaining the situation and promising I'd buy it with the VPN turned off this time..

How fucked am I?

Straight to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.

Buying a game with VPN on? Believe it or not, jail.

They never told me THAT was an option! I'd have pled guilty.

You underpay for game? Believe it or not, jail. You overpay for game, also jail.
