No. If you use a code, it's yours forever. You give away games by buying them on Steam and selecting "This is a gift"

is not forever, you can tranfer on other account by contacting steam support but you can't if you are vac-warned.

ps. you can transfer all but not only one.

...that is just in rare cases when somebody owns 2 accounts, then Steam support might merge his accounts if they are nice.

However, if its on origin, origin is willing to transfer games from one account to the other providing you go through their process.

Its fairly painless, but pretty long since they want to make sure everything is legit.

If it's in your library, it's permanent. You cannot expect Valve to remove each game you request out of your library when you've made a mistake activating or simply no longer "want" that game. As far as I know, Valve has a Spider-man rule in effect: everybody gets one.

If you live in the UK, then probably yes. The consumer protection law the Steam Store falls under is called the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations of 2000. If you have purchased a game and did not install it whatsoever within a period of 30 days, it is considered a "sealed" product and is elligible for Refund.

Chances are you're not in the UK. But even if you are, the fact that you've activated the key manually may have this agreement nullified, since you did not purchase over the Steam store.

You're always free to contact steam support and give it a try, though.

Thanks for the information. Just a heads up, though.

Distance Selling Regulations 2000, clause 8, allows you 7 working days to request a refund from Steam. I believe Steam products do not fall under "sealed product" and as such classified as a service and falls under this:

for services – the consequence of agreeing to a service starting before the end of the usual seven working day cancellation period. See paragraph 3.22 under ‘Cancellation rights'

Exceptions to the right to cancel13.—(1) Unless the parties have agreed otherwise, the consumer will not have the right to cancel the contract by giving notice of cancellation pursuant to regulation 10 in respect of contracts—
(d)for the supply of audio or video recordings or computer software if they are unsealed by the consumer;

So it would depend if you consider once you accept the SSA as 'opening' the product. Though since you're only 'licensing' the product, I'm not sure if even that applies in this scenario?
