It's a good piano ReFill (note, it's ReFill, not "refill" or "Refill": not even being able to spell your own product name correctly is rather dubious.
But your refusal to discuss the product in any detail is equally astounding.
So I'm going to ask you outright:
1) Did you actually sample or have sampled two grand pianos for this product?
2) Can you confirm these aren't resamples of other peoples samples, or samples of a hardware synth or sound module piano ROMs, or simply a converted piano sample library, such as found in various Kontakt, Akai or Gigasampler libraries, or an existing set of free pianos sold (that you have would likely have been illegally reselling for the past few months)?
Before you answer, note that you also blatantly lie on your webpage. The product *does* have looped decays even though you've specifically stated they are natural decays, I quote your own or Matt's words: "amazing sound natural decays". This is is an outright lie. In which case you are being deliberately misleading. I'm now very suspicious of this package.

Glad you like it and to answer your questions first we do not have to nor are we going to give details of how we make our ReFills, is this spelling better for you. This is our choice and its to protect our TVT Technology.
This ReFill does have long natural decays, we never said they do not have or have loops but we did say they have long natural decays and they do.
We make ReFills and we will protect our TVT Technology I am sure you and anyone else can respect this.
The decay is looped and controlled via envelope, so it is not a" natural decay". If you load any of these samples individually, they all abruptly stop after a few seconds. So they are not natural and to market this product as having natural decays is simply and categorically untrue.
Can you understand that? The statement on your website
is not true. Natural decays are decays that naturally fade out. You are using abbreviated samples and looping part of the decays using an amp envelope. So, it is absolutely not natural. One might have said you made an honest mistake, but when asked you repeat it rather than admit it was incorrect. This is typically behaviour of MediaSVI. This, and the bad grammar, is why people think you are MediaSVI.
Also note I did not, on this occasion, ask you
how you sampled, merely
what you sampled; TVT or any other real or made-up "tech" didn't enter into it. So I'll try again.
1) Did you actually sample, or have sampled on your behalf, two grand pianos, exclusively for this product?
2) Can you confirm, for the record, these aren't resamples of other peoples samples, or samples of a hardware synth or sound module piano ROMs, or simply a converted piano sample library, such as found in various Kontakt, Akai or Gigasampler libraries, or an existing set of free pianos?
That you avoided answering these questions speaks volumes. Perhaps we should just submit them for comparison to the official sample registration list and see if they find a match?
