Refund Policy

Last updated: July 22, 2026

1. Overview

This Refund Policy describes the circumstances under which Clipperia will issue refunds for Subscriptions, Credit Pack purchases, and processing Credits. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service.

All refunds are issued as credits to your Clipperia account unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law. Monetary refunds, where applicable, are processed through Dodo Payments as the merchant of record.

General principle: Credits that have been consumed by a completed or partially completed processing job are generally non-refundable because third-party compute resources have been expended. Exceptions are described below.

2. Processing Credits

Credits are consumed when you submit a video for processing. The following rules apply:

  • Successful processing: Credits consumed by a successfully completed processing run are not refundable.
  • AI processing reached: If a job fails after AI analysis has begun (i.e., after the video has been sent to our AI providers for processing), the credits consumed are not refundable because third-party compute resources have been used.
  • Early failure: If a job fails before AI processing begins — for example, during file download, validation, or pre-processing — the credits charged for that job are automatically refunded to your account.

Automatic credit refunds for early failures are processed by the system and should appear in your account immediately.

3. Subscription Refunds

Subscription payments (Starter, Pro) may be refunded under the following conditions:

  • The refund request is made within 14 days of the subscription charge date;
  • Fewer than 30 credits of the monthly allotment have been used during the current billing cycle.

If both conditions are met, we will refund the subscription payment and your subscription will be downgraded to the Free tier at the end of the current billing period.

Subscription refunds are not available if:

  • More than 14 days have passed since the charge;
  • 30 or more credits of the monthly allotment have been used;
  • The account has been terminated for violation of our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service.

Renewal Charges

If your subscription auto-renews and you did not intend to renew, you may request a refund of the renewal charge within 14 days of the renewal date, provided fewer than 30 credits from the new billing cycle have been used.

4. Credit Pack Refunds

Credit Pack purchases (e.g., 100-credit or 500-credit packs) are refundable only if none of the credits in the pack have been used. Once any credit from a pack has been consumed, no refund is available for that pack.

Credit Pack refund requests must be made within 14 days of purchase.

Consumed Credit Pack Credits are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.

5. Storage Add-on Refunds

Storage add-on subscriptions follow the same 14-day refund window as other subscriptions. If you cancel within 14 days and have not exceeded the base storage limits of your tier, a refund will be issued.

6. Billing Errors & Duplicate Purchases

If you believe you have been charged incorrectly or charged more than once for the same purchase, please contact us promptly. We will investigate and, if a billing error is confirmed, issue a full refund of the erroneous or duplicate charge regardless of the 14-day window.

Billing error claims should be reported within sixty (60) days of the charge appearing on your statement. Claims reported after this period may not be eligible for investigation.

7. Technical Failures

If a technical failure attributable to Clipperia (not to a third-party provider or your own network) prevents you from using the Service for a significant period, we may, at our sole discretion, offer one of the following remedies:

  • A credit refund for processing jobs that could not be completed due to the failure;
  • A prorated subscription extension for the period of downtime;
  • A partial monetary refund proportional to the period of unavailability.

Scheduled maintenance, third-party outages beyond our control, and brief interruptions typical of cloud services do not qualify as technical failures under this section.

8. Accidental Purchases

If you make an accidental purchase (for example, selecting the wrong plan or credit pack), you may request a refund within 48 hours of the purchase, provided:

  • No credits from the purchase have been consumed (for Credit Packs);
  • No more than 5 credits from the subscription allotment have been used (for Subscriptions).

Accidental purchase refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are subject to verification.

9. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

As Dodo Payments is the merchant of record for all transactions, any payment disputes or chargebacks are handled through their platform in accordance with their terms.

We strongly encourage you to contact us first before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or payment provider. Filing a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the issue with Clipperia may result in account suspension pending investigation.

If a chargeback is filed and the dispute is resolved in Clipperia's favor, any credits or service access restored during the dispute may be reversed. Repeated chargebacks without prior communication may result in account termination.

10. Partial Refunds

In certain circumstances, Clipperia may, at its sole discretion, offer a partial refund rather than a full refund. Partial refunds may be appropriate when:

  • A portion of a Credit Pack has been consumed and the remainder is eligible for refund;
  • A subscription has been partially used during the refund window;
  • A technical issue affected some but not all of your purchased services.

Partial monetary refunds are prorated based on the original purchase price and the proportion of service consumed.

11. Subscription Cancellation & Credit Grace Period

If you cancel your paid subscription, all unused credits in your account — including both Subscription Credits and Credit Pack Credits — are not eligible for a monetary refund. However, you will not lose your credits immediately. The following grace period applies:

  • Upon cancellation, your account reverts to the Free tier and you retain access to all unused credits (both Subscription Credits and Credit Pack Credits) for two (2) months from the cancellation date ("Grace Period").
  • During the Grace Period, you may continue to process videos and consume your remaining credits under the Free tier.
  • At the end of the Grace Period, all credits that remain unused — including any Credit Pack Credits, regardless of their original 12-month expiry date — are permanently forfeited without compensation.
  • If you voluntarily close your account before the Grace Period expires, all unused credits are forfeited immediately upon closure.

For the avoidance of doubt: The 2-month Grace Period forfeiture supersedes the 12-month Credit Pack expiry described in our Terms of Service. If you cancel your Subscription, all unused credits of every type are forfeited at the end of the Grace Period, even if their original expiry date has not yet passed.

This grace period is designed to give you a reasonable opportunity to use credits you have already paid for. We encourage you to consume your remaining credits before the Grace Period ends.

This policy does not affect your statutory rights where applicable law mandates a refund for unused prepaid balances.

12. Account Termination for Policy Violations

If your account is terminated for violating our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy, no refunds will be issued for any unused credits, remaining subscription time, or credit packs, regardless of when the termination occurs.

13. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, contact us at support@clipperia.app with:

  • Your account email address;
  • The type of refund (subscription, credit pack, billing error, technical failure, or accidental purchase);
  • The date of the charge or the job ID (if applicable);
  • A brief description of the reason for the refund request.

We will review your request and respond within five (5) business days. Approved refunds are issued as credits to your account or, where applicable, as a monetary refund through Dodo Payments. Monetary refunds may take five to ten (5–10) business days to appear on your payment statement depending on your financial institution.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notification.
