Refund Policy
Credits come back on their own when a render fails. Money refunds are reviewed one by one — this page says how to ask.
In plain terms
Credits for a render or clip that fails, gets blocked, or never renders return to your balance on their own — without you having to ask. Payments for packs and subscriptions are reviewed case by case.
A summary for reading — the numbered sections below are the document.
Credits come back automatically when work fails
A project is charged for the shot plan, the photoreal renders and the animated clips it sets out to make. If a render or a clip fails, is blocked by a safety filter, or a whole project stops part-way, the credits for the missing work return to your balance on their own, without you having to ask. The same applies when re-rendering a view, re-rendering a clip or a 4K upscale fails. Shots that were already delivered are never charged twice when you retry or finish a project. Every refund appears on My Credits as its own line.
Refunds on packs and subscriptions
Payments for credit packs and subscriptions are reviewed case by case. Write to us with what happened and we will look at the purchase, the credits used and the circumstances, and reply with a decision — typically within one business day. Cancelling a subscription is always available from your account and takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for; it does not by itself trigger a refund.
How to ask
Email support@archreel.com from the address on your account and include the order number from your receipt. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method through the provider you paid with, and usually appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
