This Refund Policy explains when Modela AI returns money for purchases made on studiomodela.com, and how to ask for a refund. It forms part of our Terms of Service.
Full refund within 14 days, if you haven’t spent the credits.
Every purchase — a credit pack or the first payment of a subscription — can be refunded in full within 14 days of payment, provided none of the credits it granted have been used. Once you start generating images, that purchase has been consumed and is no longer refundable.
The reason for the condition is simple: each generated image costs us money with our AI providers the moment it is produced, and that cost cannot be reversed. Credits you haven’t touched have cost us nothing, so there is no reason to keep your money.
Separately from this, credits are returned to your balance whenever a generation fails for a technical reason — see section 5. That happens regardless of the 14-day window.
A credit pack is refundable in full within 14 days of purchase if the balance it granted is still untouched.
Where you hold credits from more than one purchase, credits are treated as spent in the order they were granted, oldest first.
The first payment on a new subscription is refundable in full within 14 days if you have not spent any of the credits that payment granted. The subscription is then cancelled and the credits removed.
A renewal charge is refundable in full within 14 days of the charge if you have not spent any of the credits granted for that new period. Credits carried over from an earlier period are not affected by a refund of the renewal.
We send a reminder before a subscription renews. If a renewal took you by surprise and you have not used the new period’s credits, tell us and we will refund it.
We do not refund part of a billing period once its credits have been used. Cancelling stops future charges and leaves your plan running to the end of the period you paid for — see section 4.
You can cancel at any time from your billing settings, or by writing to billing@studiomodela.com. There is no cancellation fee and no minimum term.
Cancelling is not the same as requesting a refund. If you want your money back as well, ask us under section 8.
Credits are deducted when you submit a generation. If that generation fails, the credits come back:
These returns are made in credits rather than money, and they are not limited by the 14-day window in section 1. A generation whose credits have been returned does not count as spent for the purposes of this policy.
A generation that completes has consumed provider capacity, so we cannot refund credits simply because you do not like the image. Generative models are probabilistic, and the same settings can produce different results on different runs — section 12 of the Terms of Service explains this in more detail.
That said, we would rather you got a usable image than a refund. If the output is badly wrong — the wrong garment, a corrupted image, something that ignores your input entirely — send us the generation link at support@studiomodela.com. We review these individually and regularly return credits where the result clearly fell short.
Email billing@studiomodela.com from the address on your account, and include:
We reply to every request and aim to decide within 5 working days. If we need anything else from you, we will ask in that first reply.
You can also contact Paddle, our payment provider, directly through the link on your receipt. Paddle will refer the request to us under this policy.
Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd as merchant of record, so approved refunds are issued by Paddle to the original payment method. We cannot refund to a different card or account.
Credits attached to a refunded purchase are removed from your balance when the refund is issued.
Nothing in this policy limits rights you have under consumer law. If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK, or another jurisdiction with a statutory right of withdrawal for digital services, that right applies in addition to this policy.
Where you ask us to make the Service available immediately and you then begin generating images, you may lose the statutory right of withdrawal for the part of the service already supplied — which is the same outcome this policy describes.
If you think a charge was made in error or without your authorisation, contact us before raising a chargeback. We can almost always resolve it faster.
