3 In-App Purchases & Billing
3.1 Payment Processing
All digital purchases within our apps are processed exclusively through the platform store you downloaded the app from — Google Play Billing on Android or the Apple App Store (StoreKit) on iOS. We do not collect, store, or process your credit card or financial information directly. All transactions are subject to the store operator's terms, including the Google Play Payments Policy and the Apple Media Services Terms.
3.2 Entitlements & Restoration
Upon a successful transaction, your store account (Google Play or Apple ID) is granted an Entitlement. These entitlements are tied to that account and can be restored on new or replacement devices by signing in with the same account used for the original purchase. Use the "Restore Purchases" option within the app if entitlements are not automatically detected.
3.3 Subscriptions & Auto-Renewal
Where an app offers auto-renewing subscriptions, payment is charged to your store account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription automatically renews at the end of each period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions at any time in your account settings — Apple ID → Subscriptions on iOS, or Google Play → Subscriptions on Android.
3.4 Refund Policy
Purchases made through an app store are generally non-refundable once the digital content has been accessed or downloaded, and refunds are governed by the store operator, not by us. Refund requests must be submitted directly to the relevant store within its applicable refund window:
- Apple App Store: request a refund via reportaproblem.apple.com
- Google Play: request a refund through your Google Play order history
If the store issues a refund for any reason, we reserve the right to automatically revoke the associated entitlement or digital access.
