6. Payments and Billing
All payments are processed securely through Stripe, our payment processor. By making a purchase, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.

- Example: On a €10 sale, you receive approximately €8.60 after platform fee (€1) and Stripe fees (~€0.40)
- Payouts are processed according to Stripe's standard schedule for your region
- We reserve the right to change the platform fee with 30 days notice
7. Credits Policy
Credits are the currency used to pay for messages with Buddies. When you purchase a message pack, you receive credits that can be used with that specific Buddy.
Credit Rules
- Credits are non-transferable between Buddies or users
- Credits do not expire as long as your account remains in good standing
- Credits are tied to a specific Buddy — if that Buddy is discontinued, see refund policy below
- Daily rate limits may apply regardless of credit balance
Refunds and Forfeitures
- Buddy discontinued: If a Buddy owner discontinues their Buddy while you have unused credits, contact us at [email protected] for a refund of remaining credits
- Account termination: Credits may be forfeited if your account is terminated for violations of these Terms
- Voluntary deletion: If you delete your own Hatchling or account while credits remain, credits are forfeited (you must use them first or contact support)
For Buddy Owners
- You cannot delete a Buddy if users have unused credits — arrange refunds first
- You cannot unpair a Hatchling if they have credits with your Buddy
- Daily rate limits must be at least 1 message per day
