Refund & Billing Policy

Last updated: September 2, 2026

We would rather refund you than argue with you. This page says exactly what you are entitled to, so you never have to guess. It forms part of our Terms of Service.

The short version

  • Cancel anytime, in one click from your account settings. No phone call, no retention gauntlet, no email required.
  • Starter: 14 days, no questions asked. Full refund of your first Starter charge, whatever the reason.
  • Growth, Studio, Agency: 7 days from your first charge, if you have used less than 50% of that period’s credits. Refunded minus the credits you spent.
  • Charged in error? Always refunded in full, in or out of any window — duplicate charges, charges after a completed cancellation, charges you did not authorize.
  • Everything else is decided by a human, and we lean toward yes.

1. Cancelling

Cancel from Settings → Billing in the app, or email help@motionly.studio and we will do it for you. Cancelling:

  • Stops all future renewals immediately.
  • Leaves your plan active until the end of the period you already paid for — you keep your credits until then.
  • Does not automatically reverse a charge that has already been taken. If you want that charge back, see the refund windows below.

When you cancel, we send a cancellation confirmation email. Keep it. If you ever receive a renewal charge after a confirmed cancellation, that is a billing error on our side and we refund it in full — see Section 4.

2. Starter — 14 days, no questions asked

If Starter is not for you, email help@motionly.studio within 14 days of the charge and we refund it in full. You do not need to explain why, and we do not deduct for credits you used. This applies to your first Starter charge on an account.

3. Growth, Studio and Agency — 7 days on your first charge

On the larger plans, we refund your first charge if both of these are true:

  • You request it within 7 days of that charge, and
  • You have used less than 50% of that period’s credit allowance.

The refund is the amount you paid, minus the value of the credits you spent, charged at the plan’s own per-credit rate. We show you the exact arithmetic before we process it.

The reason for the 50% ceiling is plain: rendering video costs us real GPU and storage money the moment you generate. A full refund after a plan has been substantially consumed is a loss we would be funding out of other customers’ subscriptions. Below that line, the cost is ours to absorb and we absorb it.

Over the window, or over 50%? Write to us anyway — Section 5.

4. Billing errors — always refunded, no window

The windows above are for changing your mind. They do not limit our obligation to fix a mistake. If any of the following happened, we refund you in full, regardless of how much time has passed or how many credits were used:

  • You were charged after a cancellation we had already confirmed.
  • You were charged twice for the same period.
  • You were charged an amount that does not match the plan you selected.
  • You were charged on an account you never authorized.
  • You were charged after we failed to honor a price we had committed to.

Email help@motionly.studio with the charge date and amount. We aim to answer within one business day and to issue the refund the same day we confirm the error. Refunds return to the original payment method and typically appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.

5. Everything else — case by case

Outside the windows above, we review requests individually. We generally say yes when the product genuinely failed you: renders that never completed, output unusable because of a bug on our side, or a plan bought for a feature that did not work as described. Write to help@motionly.studio and tell us what happened. A person reads it.

Where a refund is not the right remedy, we will often offer credits or a period extension instead — and you are free to decline and ask for the refund decision on the record.

6. What we do not refund

  • Renewal charges beyond your first, where you had access to the service throughout the period and no billing error occurred.
  • Credits already consumed on completed generations and renders.
  • Accounts terminated for a material breach of the Acceptable Use section of our Terms.
  • Charges made by a different company. See Section 8.

7. Chargebacks — please talk to us first

If something looks wrong on your statement, email help@motionly.studio before disputing it with your bank. A refund from us reaches you in days; a chargeback takes weeks, and once opened it locks the funds until the bank rules. We are not trying to talk you out of your rights — you keep every one of them, including the right to dispute — we are telling you the faster route. We do not close accounts or retaliate for a chargeback.

8. Charges from motionly.org are not ours

Motionly bills only from motionly.studio, through Stripe, as Lumi Diamond, LLC. A separate, unaffiliated service at motionly.org uses a similar name and bills its own customers. We have no access to their systems and cannot refund or cancel their charges.

Motionly has never had a plan priced at $19.99, $19.90, $4.99, and does not run a 3-day trial. If your statement shows one of those amounts, the charge is not ours. Here is how to tell, and what to do.

9. Your statutory rights

Nothing here reduces rights you have by law. If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, your statutory cancellation and refund rights apply in addition to this policy. If you are a consumer in Israel, your rights under the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981 — including the transaction-cancellation rights in Section 14C — apply in addition to this policy. Where the law gives you more than this page does, the law wins.
