6ix — Refunds & Cancellations
This page explains how refunds and cancellations work for plans and purchases on 6ix. It operates alongside Billing & Subscriptions, Disputes & Chargebacks, Acceptable Use, KYC/AML, and our Privacy Policy.
Last updated: 2025-10-28
1) Overview
Our approach
- Be fair to creators and protect the community from fraud.
- Explain clearly when refunds apply and how to request them.
- Comply with applicable consumer laws and processor rules.
Key definitions
- Subscription: Recurring plan (Free, Pro, Pro Max, Elite). See Billing.
- Digital goods: Non-tangible content/services (e.g., 6IXAI usage, boosts).
- Verification: Blue tick (Pro), white tick (Pro Max), earned ⭐ Star tick. See Billing — Star tick.
2) Refund eligibility
Standard windows
Subscriptions
- Monthly plans: Refunds normally not provided after renewal, except where required by law or in cases of confirmed error/defect.
- Immediate upgrades (e.g., Pro → Pro Max): charged at the time of upgrade; proration applies (see Billing — Proration).
One-time digital goods
- Refunds are limited once the good is consumed (e.g., 6IXAI credits used, boost delivered).
- Where consumption did not occur due to a verified defect, we will re-credit or refund.
Digital goods & usage
Usage threshold
If a purchase includes consumable capacity (credits, minutes, boosts), we may deny refunds when a material portion is used (e.g., >10–20%), unless the usage was affected by a confirmed platform outage or defect.
Abuse & exceptions
Abuse signals
- Repeated refunds with high consumption.
- Chargeback misuse (see Chargebacks).
- Violations of Acceptable Use or suspected fraud.
What happens
We may decline refunds, reverse benefits, suspend features, and require additional verification (see KYC/AML). Serious abuse can lead to account action.
3) Cancellations (subscriptions)
Auto-renew & billing cycles
How renewals work
Plans renew at the end of each paid period unless canceled beforehand. After cancellation, access continues until the current period ends. See Billing cycle.
Failed renewals
If renewal payment fails, we retry and notify you. Some benefits pause until payment is updated.
Proration & plan changes
Upgrades
Upgrades take effect immediately with proration of remaining time/credit (e.g., Pro → Pro Max).
Downgrades
Downgrades take effect on the next renewal. Features/limits adjust on the new cycle.
Reactivation
You can reactivate any time in Settings → Billing. New pricing may apply if rates changed.
4) Examples by plan (illustrative)
Free
Free has no paid renewal; refunds don’t apply. Some optional digital goods may be refundable if unused and within window (see Digital goods).
Pro — blue tick ($6.66 / month)
Scenario A
You renew Pro and realize the same day you didn’t intend to. If no notable usage occurred, contact us quickly; we may grant a discretionary refund where permitted by law.
Scenario B
You used 6IXAI heavily after renewal and then request a refund a week later. This is typically ineligible absent a verified defect/outage.
Pro Max — white tick (from $16.66 / month)
Scenario C
You upgrade from Pro mid-cycle; we apply proration. Refunds aren’t issued for valid immediate upgrades unless there’s a confirmed error.
Scenario D
You cancel Pro Max later in the cycle. Access continues until period end; no mid-cycle refund.
Elite — up to $666 / month (admin-approved)
Note on Elite
Elite is invitation/admin-approved only (see Billing — Elite). Terms may include bespoke refund provisions; we follow the written Elite agreement first.
If Elite is downgraded
Downgrades take effect on the next renewal unless your Elite agreement specifies otherwise.
5) How to request a refund
Start here
- Open Settings → Billing and review the charge/invoice.
- If it looks wrong, email billing@6ixapp.com from your account email.
- Describe the issue, date/time (UTC), and whether the item was used/consumed.
If it’s urgent or a defect
Include screenshots, error IDs, or links to affected content. We’ll investigate logs and restore value via re-credit, re-delivery, or refund where appropriate.
Proof/evidence we may request
To verify account ownership
- Reply from the registered email.
- Recent invoice ID and the last 4 digits of the payment method (never share full card numbers).
To verify defects/outages
- Screenshots, error messages, or video captures.
- Approximate timestamps (UTC) and actions taken.
Timelines & outcomes
Initial review
We aim to review refund requests promptly (business days). If approved, refunds are issued to the original payment method; bank posting times vary.
Alternative remedies
In many digital-goods cases, re-credit or re-delivery is faster and avoids service interruption.
Appeals
If you disagree with a decision, reply to the same email chain with additional context. We may escalate internally for a second review.
6) Payments, chargebacks & disputes
Chargebacks
Please contact us first
Most issues are resolved faster directly with us. Filing a chargeback on a valid charge after consumption may be treated as abuse.
What happens during a chargeback
The processor withdraws funds and requests evidence. We provide logs, usage data, invoices, and terms. If we win, the charge is reinstated; if not, access or benefits may be revoked.
Processor review & reversals
Our payment partners may require additional information, impose waiting periods, or reverse charges per their rules. See Disputes & Chargebacks for details.
Sanctions, prohibited activity & fraud
We do not process refunds for transactions tied to prohibited or sanctioned activity. Review Acceptable Use and KYC/AML. We may report suspected fraud to partners or authorities where required by law.
7) Regional rights & consumer laws
Cooling-off periods
If your jurisdiction provides a statutory “cooling-off” right, we honor it consistent with law. Note that many digital services exempt used/consumed goods from withdrawal once performance begins.
Taxes & VAT
Taxes are shown where applicable and refunded only if the underlying transaction is refunded. Provide VAT/GST IDs in Billing settings to appear on invoices.
Jurisdiction & conflicts
This policy is interpreted together with our Terms. Where local law conflicts, the law of your region may control to the minimum required extent.
8) FAQ
Can I get a refund after I used most of my credits?
Generally no, unless there was a verified defect/outage affecting your usage.
If I cancel Pro Max, do I lose access immediately?
No. You keep access until the end of the current paid period.
What’s the fastest way to fix a mistaken charge?
Contact billing@6ixapp.com promptly.
Do you refund taxes?
Taxes are refunded when the underlying charge is refunded.
