Refund Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-17
We sell credits that never expire. Refund rules are simple.
§1 Anonymous use
The first 5 verdicts per IP cost nothing and create no obligations.
§2 Signed-in free verdicts
The 10 additional verdicts that arrive on signup also cost nothing.
§3 $10 top-up — 14-day refund window
A $10 top-up purchases 10 verdicts. If you have used zero of those verdicts within 14 days of purchase, we refund the full $10. Once any verdict has been consumed against the top-up balance, the purchase is non-refundable — verdicts include real-time API costs that we cannot recover.
§4 Platform contracts
Custom enterprise contracts carry their own refund terms negotiated at signing. Contact contracts@etymolt.com for the active version.
§5 Forge bundle (when available)
The Forge $499 / $699 brand-launch bundle has a staged refund table:
- Within 24h of purchase, before any vendor was contacted: 100%
- 24-72h, after attestation but before domain registered: 95%
- After domain registered, before any handle claimed: ($499 - $11) — the $11 deduction reflects the non-refundable ICANN registry fee paid to Verisign for the .com registration
- After any handle claimed or DNS configured: non-refundable
§6 How to request a refund
Email refunds@etymolt.com with your Stripe receipt or session ID. We respond within 1 business day. Approved refunds reach your card in 5-10 days via Stripe.
§7 Disputes
We honor Stripe's dispute process. Contesting a charge through your card issuer bypasses our refund flow; please email us first.
