6. Credits
6.1 Definition and Usage
PaperAnimator.com operates on a credit-based system where users must spend credits to download paper animations or PNG images of generated assets. Credits are essential for utilizing certain features of the web app and are tied directly to the user's account.
6.2 Types of Credits
Pay as You Go Credits
Users have the option to purchase credits on a one-time basis, known as “Pay as You Go Credits.” These credits provide flexibility for those who prefer not to commit to a recurring payment. Pay as You Go Credits will expire two years from the date of purchase.
Subscription Credits
Users may also obtain credits through a subscription plan. Under this plan, credits are automatically added to the user's account each month. Unused credits from prior months may roll over to subsequent months, up to a maximum of five times the monthly allocated credits. Subscription Credits shall remain available for use as long as the subscription remains active. In the event of subscription cancellation, any remaining subscription credits shall remain available for spending until the end of the current billing period, after which they will expire.
6.3 Credit Expiration and Availability
- Pay as You Go Credits: These credits shall expire two years after the date of purchase.
- Subscription Credits: Credits obtained through a subscription plan shall not have an individual expiration date but will expire if not used by the end of the current billing period following subscription cancellation.
6.4 Spending Credits
Credits may be utilized within the PaperAnimator.com web app to download paper animations or PNG images of generated assets. The number of credits required for each download will be clearly indicated within the app, and the corresponding credits shall be deducted from the user's balance upon download.
7. Subscription Model
7.1 Subscription Terms
PaperAnimator offers a monthly subscription plan that provides users with access to premium features within the app. Upon activation of a subscription, users receive a predetermined number of credits at the start of each billing period. These credits can be used to download paper animations or PNG images of generated assets.
7.2 Payment and Grace Period
Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns
The subscription fee is charged at the beginning of each billing period. In the event that the payment fails (e.g., due to insufficient funds or an expired payment method), the user will be granted a grace period to rectify the issue. During this grace period, the user may update their payment method or add sufficient funds to ensure successful payment processing.
7.3 Payment Recovery
If the payment is successfully recovered during the grace period, the subscription will continue uninterrupted, and any unused credits from the previous period will roll over in accordance with the rollover policy.
7.4 Cancellation Due to Non-Payment
Should the payment issue not be resolved within the grace period, which typically lasts one week, the subscription will be automatically canceled. Upon cancellation, any remaining unused credits associated with the subscription will be lost. The user will have the option to re-subscribe at a later time, but previously lost credits will not be reinstated.
