1. Summary
This policy forms part of the Terms of Use and describes exactly how refunds work here. It is written to match what our systems actually do.
- Gems you have already spent cannot be refunded. Unlocking an episode consumes them.
- Gems you have not spent can be refunded, per purchase, on request within 30 days.
- Subscriptions are billed by whole period (monthly or annual) and are not pro-rated. Cancel any time at Account → Manage subscription; access runs to the end of the period you paid for.
- A chargeback reverses the entire purchase, may leave your balance negative, revokes the episodes it paid for and freezes the account. Contact us first — it is faster.
- Your non-waivable statutory consumer rights are unaffected.
2. How we work out what is refundable on a Gem purchase
Every Gem purchase is accounted for separately. When you unlock an episode, Gems are consumed in this fixed order:
- 1. Bonus and promotional Gems first. Anything granted free — pack bonuses, promotions, goodwill credit — is consumed before Gems you paid for. Bonus Gems have no cash value and are never refunded in cash.
- 2. Then purchased Gems, oldest purchase first (FIFO). Your earliest surviving purchase is consumed before a later one.
So the unconsumed balance of a specific purchase is the number of Gems from that purchase that no unlock has yet drawn down. That number is what can be refunded.
The amount refunded is the price you paid for that purchase, multiplied by the unconsumed Gems from it, divided by the total Gems it delivered, rounded down to the cent. Example: you buy 500 Gems for US$4.99 and unlock two episodes at 60 Gems each with no bonus Gems available; 380 Gems remain, so the refund is 4.99 × 380 ÷ 500 = US$3.79.
When a refund is issued, the corresponding Gems are removed from your balance. If you have spent them in the meantime, the balance may go negative; a negative balance blocks new unlocks until it is cleared by a new purchase.
A purchase can be refunded more than once (as more of it becomes eligible), but never for more than the amount you originally paid.
3. Asking for a Gem refund
Email support@aidramas.example from the address on your account, with the approximate date and amount of the purchase. Do not send card numbers.
- Deadline: within 30 days of the purchase.
- Our response: we acknowledge within 2 business days and give a decision within 5 business days.
- Payout: approved refunds go back to the original payment method, normally within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
- Currency: refunds are made in US dollars. Any currency conversion or fee applied by your bank is outside our control.
We may decline a refund where the request is outside the deadline, where the Gems have been consumed, where the account shows signs of abuse (for example repeated buy-watch-refund cycles, promotion abuse, or multiple accounts), or where refunding is prohibited by law.
Bought by mistake? If a purchase was made in error and none of its Gems have been spent, tell us within 48 hours and we will normally refund it in full.
4. Subscriptions
The subscription is billed US$6.99 per month or US$69.99 per year, depending on the plan you choose, and renews automatically until you cancel.
- Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep access until then, and you are not charged again. Cancel online in a few clicks at Account → Manage subscription.
- Periods are not pro-rated. We do not refund part of a billing period, and we do not refund a period simply because you did not watch anything.
- Accidental renewal. If you were charged for a new period, contact us within 48 hours of the charge, and there is no viewing activity in that period, we will normally refund that period in full and cancel the subscription.
- Introductory prices. We email a reminder before an introductory price converts to the standard price. If you tell us within 7 days of the first standard-price charge that you did not intend to continue and you have not watched in that period, we will normally refund that charge.
- Price increases. We notify you at least 7 days in advance. Charges taken after a notice you did not act on are not refundable on that ground alone.
A subscription never refunds Gems, and cancelling a subscription does not affect episodes you unlocked with Gems.
6. Chargebacks and disputes
Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank. We can almost always resolve a billing question faster than a chargeback can, and a chargeback triggers automatic consequences:
- Full reversal. We reverse all Gems from the disputed purchase, including any bonus Gems granted with it — not just the unspent ones.
- Your balance can go negative. If you already spent those Gems, the reversal takes the balance below zero. New unlocks are blocked until the balance is positive again.
- Unlocks are revoked. Episodes unlocked after the disputed purchase are revoked, starting with the most recent, until the value of the revoked unlocks covers the reversed amount.
- The account is frozen. A frozen account cannot buy, unlock or subscribe. If the dispute is later withdrawn or decided in our favour, contact support to have the account restored.
Timing matters. Once a dispute has been opened with the card network, the payment can no longer be refunded by us — the outcome is decided through the network's dispute process. That is why the fastest route to your money is always to email us first.
Fraud warnings. If the card network sends us an early fraud warning for a payment, we may proactively refund that payment in full and close the associated access, without waiting for a dispute to be opened.
Repeated chargebacks, or a chargeback combined with continued use, may lead to permanent termination under Section 15 of the Terms.
7. Your statutory rights
Nothing in this policy limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law where you live, including any statutory right of withdrawal. Where such a right applies and you have already started consuming digital content, we may deduct an amount reflecting what you have used.
If you are not satisfied with a refund decision, reply to our email and ask for it to be escalated; unresolved disputes follow Section 20 of the Terms.
