Refund Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2025

1. Refunds & Cancellation

Self-Service Cancellation

You may cancel your active subscription at any time through your account settings. The cancellation will prevent the next renewal charge and you may continue to use paid features until the current billing cycle ends.

Immediate Cancellation & Refund

If you wish to reverse a subscription charge immediately after purchase, please email support@aipolaroid.com within 24 hours. Our team will void or refund that transaction in accordance with card-network rules.

2. Refund Window

7-Day Refund Policy

You may request a refund within 7 calendar days of the original charge. We will deduct the monetary value of any generation credits you have already used and refund the unused portion to the original payment method.

After 7 days, payments are non-refundable unless required by applicable law.
