Refund Policy
Information about our no-refund policy for Direct Studio per-project payments.
Last updated: January 29, 2025
1No Refund Policy
Direct Studio operates on a per-project payment model. Once a project payment is made, it is final and non-refundable. This policy is in place because you receive immediate access to all features and can begin creating and exporting your video content instantly upon payment.
Important Notice
All sales are final. We do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges for any reason except as outlined in the limited exceptions below.
2Why We Don't Offer Refunds
Our no-refund policy exists for the following reasons:
- •Digital Product: Direct Studio is a digital service with instant delivery and immediate access to all features
- •Per-Project Model: Each payment unlocks full access for a specific project, not a time-based subscription
- •Immediate Value: You can create, edit, and export unlimited content for your project immediately after payment
- •No Watermarks: All exports are watermark-free and fully usable from the moment of purchase
- •Resource Allocation: Computing resources and AI processing are allocated immediately upon purchase
3Limited Exceptions
We may consider refunds only in the following exceptional circumstances:
- •Billing Errors: Duplicate charges or incorrect billing amounts
- •Complete Service Failure: The service is completely unavailable for more than 7 consecutive days
- •Technical Impossibility: Proven technical issues that make the service completely unusable on your system despite our support efforts
Note: These exceptions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and require documentation. Approval is not guaranteed.
