FAQ

What happens when I run out of credits?

Subscription credits renew each billing cycle. If you need more credits, you can buy Flex credits once and they are used after any time-limited credits are spent.

How long are my credits valid?

Subscription credits follow their billing cycle. Flex credits do not expire and are consumed after credits with an expiration date.

Can I get a refund for unused credits?

For subscriptions, you can cancel anytime but refunds are not provided for past usage. For Flex credits, due to immediate allocation of computational resources, refunds are not offered.

If I am not satisfied with the results, can I get a refund?

Refunds are not offered for services. However, the support team is available to help with any issues encountered.

How is NSFW or Adult Content handled?

The creation of any form of NSFW or adult content is strictly prohibited across all plans. Content found in violation may be deleted and appropriate action taken.

What does commercial usage include?

All paid plans (subscriptions and Flex credits) include commercial usage rights, allowing generated cartoon images to be used for business purposes. The Free plan does not include commercial usage rights.
