Refund Policy
Last Updated: December 2024
This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for refunds on Blog Machine credits and services.
1. General Policy
Blog Machine operates on a credit-based system where credits are purchased in advance. Once credits are purchased and payment is processed, credits are generally non-refundable, except as required by law or as specified in this policy.
2. Credit Purchase Policy
2.1 Non-Refundable Credits
Credits purchased through Blog Machine are generally non-refundable once the purchase transaction is completed. This is because:
- Credits are immediately available for use upon purchase
- Credits never expire and can be used at any time
- Our Service provides immediate value upon credit purchase
2.2 Unused Credits
If you have unused credits in your account, you may continue to use them at any time. Credits do not expire and can be used indefinitely. We do not provide refunds for unused credits.
3. Refund Eligibility
Refunds may be considered in the following exceptional circumstances:
3.1 Service Failure
If Blog Machine fails to provide the Service as described due to a technical failure on our part, you may be eligible for a refund of credits used during the failure period. Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the service failure.
3.2 Duplicate Purchases
If you accidentally make a duplicate purchase, you may request a refund for the duplicate transaction within 7 days of the purchase date. Refund requests must include proof of the duplicate transaction.

If you are charged incorrectly due to a billing error on our part, we will refund the incorrect charge. Please contact us immediately if you notice any billing errors.
