Refund Policy
Please read this policy carefully to understand how refunds and cancellations work on our platform.
Last updated: May 2026
1. Introduction
This Refund Policy explains when you are eligible for a refund of payments made for ViralBuddy subscriptions and credit purchases. By subscribing to or purchasing credits on the Service, you agree to the terms below.
2. Trying the Service Before You Subscribe
ViralBuddy does not currently offer a free plan or trial period; all plans require payment at signup. If you are not satisfied after your first Monthly or Yearly subscription charge, you may be eligible for a refund within 7 days as described in Section 5, provided you have not consumed a material amount of the credits included with that charge.
3. Credits Are Non-Refundable Once Consumed
Credits are consumed at the moment a generation job (image, video, script, or other AI output) is submitted, regardless of whether you are satisfied with the result. Because each job incurs real, non-recoverable compute and third-party AI model costs the instant it runs, credits already spent on completed or in-progress jobs are not refundable. Unused credits remaining in your balance may be eligible for a refund only as described in Section 5.
4. Subscription Cancellation
You may cancel a Monthly or Yearly subscription at any time from your account billing settings. Cancelling stops future renewal charges, but does not by itself refund the current billing period: you will keep access to your plan's features and any remaining credits until the end of the period you already paid for.
5. Refund Eligibility
We will consider a refund of unused credits or a subscription charge in the following cases:
- You were charged in error or were double-billed for the same period.
- A technical fault on our end caused credits to be deducted without producing a usable output, and our support team is unable to restore the credits.
- You request a refund of a first-time Monthly or Yearly subscription charge within 7 days of the charge and have not consumed a material amount of the credits included with it.
- You are required by applicable law in your jurisdiction to receive a refund.
Refunds are not offered for change of mind after credits have been substantially used, for dissatisfaction with the creative quality of an AI-generated output, or for failure to cancel a subscription before it renewed.
6. Prepaid & Lifetime Plans
Prepaid credit packs and one-time Lifetime plans are one-time payments with no automatic renewal. Refund requests for these purchases are evaluated under the same eligibility criteria in Section 5 and must be made within 14 days of purchase, provided the credits have not been substantially used.
7. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund, contact our support team with your account email, the date of the charge, and the reason for your request. We may ask for additional details to verify eligibility under Section 5.
8. Processing Time
Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 5–10 business days. Depending on your bank or card issuer, it may take additional time for the refund to appear on your statement.
9. Chargebacks
We ask that you contact us before filing a chargeback with your bank or card issuer, so we have an opportunity to resolve the issue directly. Accounts associated with unwarranted chargebacks may be suspended pending investigation.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the 'Last updated' date above will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
