      Refunds & Cancellations

      Understanding your rights and our refund policies

      Last updated: July 2026

      Quick Summary

      14-Day Withdrawal

      EU consumers have 14 days to withdraw from purchases

      Same Payment Method

      Refunds issued to original payment method

      14-Day Refund

      Refunds issued within 14 calendar days of your request

      EU Consumer Rights

      Under EU Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, you have specific protections when purchasing digital services online.

      Your 14-Day Right of Withdrawal

      As an EU consumer, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days without giving any reason. This period starts from the day you complete your subscription or credit purchase.

      Important: Digital Content Exception

      ClipStudios.AI provides digital content (AI video generation). Under Article 16(m) of the Directive, if you consent to begin using the service immediately and acknowledge that you lose your withdrawal right, you cannot claim a refund once you've started using credits or generating videos.

      When You Can Get a Refund

      Your statutory right of withdrawal

      If you are an EU consumer, have not waived your withdrawal right, and are within 14 days of purchase, you may withdraw for a full refund. No approval is needed and no reason is required — we issue the refund within 14 calendar days of your notice.

      Discretionary refunds

      Outside the withdrawal period, we may still issue a refund at our discretion in these cases. These are reviewed individually and we aim to decide within 5 business days.

      Significant technical failure

      If our service experienced major issues that prevented you from using your credits

      Unused credit portions

      Proportionate refunds may be available in some circumstances

      When Refunds Are Not Available

      After Using the Service

      Once you've generated videos or used credits after providing withdrawal consent

      After 14-Day Period

      If the withdrawal period has expired and no exceptional circumstances apply

      Unused Portion of Annual / Fixed-Term Plans

      Fixed-term prepaid plans (e.g. annual) are committed for the full term. After the 14-day withdrawal period, the unused portion of the term is not refundable. The plan will not auto-renew after cancellation.

      Account Termination for Violations

      If your account was suspended or terminated due to Terms of Service violations

      Fraudulent Requests

      Abusive or fraudulent refund requests

      Suggested subject line: "Refund Request - [Your Email]"

      Alternatively, use our Contact Form.

      Step 2: What helps us process it faster

      None of this is mandatory — a clear statement that you wish to withdraw is enough. Including the details below just helps us process it quickly.

      • Your full name
      • Email address associated with your account
      • Date of purchase
      • Transaction ID or invoice number (if available)
      • Clear statement that you wish to withdraw/request a refund
      • Reason for refund (optional but helpful)

      Step 3: Wait for Our Response

      Acknowledgment: within 2 business days
      Refund issued: within 14 calendar days of receiving your withdrawal request

      Subscription Cancellation

      How to Cancel Your Subscription

      1. Log in to your ClipStudios.AI account
      2. Navigate to Settings → Billing
      3. Click "Manage Subscription"
      4. Select "Cancel Subscription"
      5. Confirm your cancellation

      What Happens After Cancellation

      • Immediate effect: Your subscription will not renew at the next billing cycle
      • Continued access: You retain access until the end of your current billing period
      • Credits: Any unused subscription credits expire at the end of the billing period
      • Top-up credits: Purchased credit top-ups remain valid until their expiration date (12 months from purchase)
      • Top-up credits after cancellation: if you have unused top-up credits when you cancel, your account remains active on the free tier so you can use them until they are spent or reach their 12-month expiry.
      • Generated content: Your existing videos remain accessible until account deletion

      Note: Cancellation does not automatically entitle you to a refund for the current billing period. Refunds are governed by the withdrawal rights outlined above.

      Credit Top-Up Purchases

      One-time credit top-up purchases are also covered by the 14-day withdrawal policy:

      • Unused credits: If you haven't used any credits from a top-up within 14 days, you may be eligible for a full refund
      • Partially used: If some credits have been used, refunds (if approved) will be proportionate to unused credits
      • After 14 days: Top-up purchases are non-refundable after the withdrawal period
      • Expiration: Top-up credits expire 12 months from purchase and are non-refundable upon expiration

      How Credits Are Used

      When you generate content, credits are consumed in this order:

      1. Signup bonus credits (free credits granted at registration)
      2. Subscription credits (your monthly allowance)
      3. Purchased credits (top-ups)

      Subscription credits are used before top-ups because they expire sooner: on monthly plans unused credits roll over only up to 2× your monthly allowance, and on annual plans the accumulated balance expires at your annual renewal. Top-up credits are valid for 12 months, so we save them for last.

      Questions or Disputes

      If you have questions about our refund policy or believe your refund request was unfairly denied:

      1. Contact our support team at support@clipstudios.ai so we can resolve it directly.
      2. If we cannot resolve it, Dutch consumers can contact ACM ConsuWijzer, the Netherlands consumer authority.
      3. ClipStudios.AI is not currently affiliated with an alternative dispute resolution body. A list of certified dispute resolution bodies across the EU is available from the European Commission.
