• By subscribing or purchasing, you authorize charges in accordance with the checkout terms shown at purchase.

7. Refunds

Refunds are described in our Refund Policy. In summary, subject to applicable law and Paddle's role as Merchant of Record, you may request a full refund within 30 days of a charge; after that, fees are generally non-refundable except where we, Paddle, or the law requires otherwise.

Please test the platform with a free account before committing to a paid plan.

8. Failed Payments

• We may attempt to reprocess the payment within a grace period.

11. Content & Intellectual Property

• You retain full rights to content you create.

• All platform code, features, and designs remain the property of Link Studio Dev.

12. Limitation of Liability

We are not liable for:

• Content loss due to beta resets

• Harm caused by third-party misuse of the platform

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if:

• You violate these terms
• You misuse or abuse the service
• It is necessary to protect platform integrity

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms at any time.

Changes will be reflected by an updated "Effective Date." Continued use of the platform indicates your acceptance.

Subject to the exceptions below and any longer rights that apply where you live (for example, statutory withdrawal or cooling-off periods), you may request a full refund within 30 days of the original purchase or subscription charge if the service does not meet your expectations.

After that 30-day period, fees are generally non-refundable, except where we agree otherwise, Paddle or applicable law requires a refund, or your case falls under section 2.

Outside the 30-day window, we typically do not refund for:

• Change of mind following the refund window
• Partial usage or unused time on a billing period
• Compatibility issues outside our stated requirements
• Downtime, beta limitations, or roadmap changes already disclosed in our Terms

We (or Paddle, as Merchant of Record) may issue a refund when appropriate for:

• Duplicate charges for the same purchase
• Unauthorized or fraudulent transactions (subject to verification)
• Cases where a refund is required by applicable law or by Paddle's buyer policies

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method and may take additional time depending on your bank or card issuer.

If you want to request a refund within the 30-day window or believe your payment qualifies under section 2, contact our support channel (or Paddle buyer support as directed on your receipt) and include:

• Your account email
• Transaction date and payment reference
• A short explanation of the issue
• Any supporting evidence (for example, duplicate receipt screenshots)

We may request additional information before making a final decision.

If you initiate a chargeback without first contacting us, we reserve the right to suspend or limit access to paid features while the dispute is under review.

We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Changes become effective when posted, and the "Last updated" date will be revised accordingly.
