If I pay for my identity to be masked, would I not be entitle to a refund if my identity was revealed by the same vendor?

Do you really want your $10 (or however much cloaking cost you), rather than the right to sue for damages (and that right being what keeps the service honest and on your side?)

I have a great business: pay me $100 to guarantee the gender of your not-yet conceived child. If you didn't get what you asked for, I'll refund your $100. How does that sound?

morally maybe, but legally I'd guess they have provisions in whatever ToS you agreed to that mean not.
