Arcads Refund Policy

This article talks about refund - for both credits and subscription plan.

Written by Damien goubin

We believe in being fair. Here's exactly when you can request a refund and what to expect.

There are two types of refund:

  • Subscription refund — cash back to your original payment method

  • Credit reimbursement — generation credits restored to your account


Can I get a refund if I didn't use my subscription?

Yes. If you were charged for a billing period and used zero generation credits during that period, we'll refund the full amount. You must submit your request within 30 days of the charge.


Can I get a refund if I signed up by mistake or changed my mind?

Yes, if all of the following are true:

  • You are within 24 hours of your first charge

  • You did not use any credits

  • This is your first time requesting this refund (one-time courtesy per account)

If all three apply, contact support and we'll refund you in full.


Can I get a refund if I bought the wrong plan?

Yes, if all of the following are true:

  • You purchased a lower plan and upgraded because you needed a specific feature

  • You request the refund within 7 days of the upgrade

If both apply, we'll refund the lower-tier charge.

How credits are handled: any credits added by the lower plan and carried over to your new plan will be deducted from your new plan's balance. Example: your lower plan added 8000 credits; after the refund, those 8000 credits are removed from your account.


Why was I charged after I cancelled?

If you have a cancellation confirmation email — or written confirmation from our support team — and were still charged, that's our error. Share your confirmation and we'll refund all charges from your cancellation date onwards.

If you don't have proof of cancellation, we can refund your most recent charge only, regardless of how many months of account in activity.


Can I get my credits back if a generation failed?

Yes. We may restore credits (not cash) if a generation failed due to a platform issue. Requests must be submitted within 30 days of the affected generation. Eligible cases include:

  • Technical glitches or system errors

  • Failed or broken generations

  • Unexpected results caused by a confirmed system issue

  • Invalid reference image submissions (automatically refunded within minutes)

  • Failed or duplicate actor generations caused by system errors

Credit reimbursements are reviewed case by case against the criteria above. We don't guarantee reimbursement outside these scenarios.

If your generation returned an error saying "used credits were not counted," the refund is automatic and typically processes within a few minutes.


What can't I get a refund for?

Refunds and credit reimbursements don't apply to:

  • Credits already used to generate images or videos that completed successfully

  • Dissatisfaction with the creative output (e.g. "I don't like the result" or "it's not what I imagined")

  • Results that match the expected behavior of the feature, even if they don't meet your personal expectations

  • Subscriptions where any credits were used during the current billing period

  • Credit reimbursement requests submitted more than 30 days after the affected generation

  • The 24-hour change-of-mind refund, if you've already used it once on this account

Not sure if your case qualifies? Contact support — we're happy to take a look.


How do I request a refund?

Reach out via in-app chat and include:

  1. Your account email

  2. A short description of the issue

  3. The affected video or generation, if applicable

Approved subscription refunds are typically processed within 5–10 business days and returned to your original payment method.
