​Effective Date: April 13, 2026

1. Subscription Cancellations

Paid software subscriptions may generally be canceled through the Platform or by contacting support.

Unless otherwise stated in your order form or plan terms:

  • Cancellation stops future renewal charges

  • Access continues through the end of the current billing period

  • Partial-period refunds are not guaranteed

  • Prior charges already incurred are non-refundable

Trial access, promotional plans, or enterprise agreements may be subject to separate written terms.

2. Campaign Cancellation by Brands

If a brand cancels a campaign or withdraws an invite, the outcome depends on the stage of the deal.

2.1 Before a creator accepts

Brands can generally cancel or close the opportunity without payout obligations for unaccepted invitations, subject to any non-refundable platform or processing fees already incurred.

2.2 After a creator accepts

Once a creator has accepted deal terms through Artec, the brand should not cancel without good-faith justification. If cancellation happens after acceptance, Artec may consider:

  • Whether work has already started

  • Whether content or deliverables were already submitted

  • Whether the creator relied on the accepted campaign terms

  • Whether the campaign was canceled for safety, policy, legal, or payment reasons

Artec may determine that some or all funds should still be paid to the creator where work has already been performed or where the cancellation is inconsistent with accepted marketplace obligations.

3. Creator Withdrawal or Non-Completion

If a creator withdraws after accepting a campaign or fails to complete agreed work, Artec may:

  • Mark the campaign entry accordingly

  • Cancel pending payouts tied to incomplete work

  • Restrict future access to campaign opportunities

  • Consider the history in trust, ranking, or enforcement decisions

Repeated last-minute cancellations or non-performance may result in account restrictions.

4. Deposits, Wallet Balances, and Credits

Campaign deposits, wallet funding, and processor fees are generally non-refundable once charged unless:

  • Required by law

  • Artec determines a duplicate or erroneous charge occurred

  • Artec expressly agrees to issue a refund in writing

If a campaign ends with unused wallet funds, Artec may review the account and determine whether those funds remain available for future campaigns, may be offset against open obligations, or qualify for refund under applicable terms.

5. Submission and Approval Disputes

Refunds are not automatically granted simply because a brand is dissatisfied with creative performance. When there is a dispute, Artec may consider:

  • Whether the creator delivered what was agreed

  • Whether revision opportunities were provided where applicable

  • Whether the submission materially failed to match the approved brief or deal terms

  • Whether fraud, misuse, or policy violations occurred

Artec may place holds on funds while reviewing a dispute.

6. Chargebacks

If a user initiates a chargeback or payment dispute with their bank or card network, Artec may:

  • Pause related services or account access

  • Hold payouts or credits

  • Request supporting documentation

  • Recover losses, fees, and costs where legally permitted

Abusive or bad-faith chargebacks may result in permanent account removal.

7. How to Request a Review

To request cancellation or refund review, contact [email protected] with:

  • Your account email

  • Campaign or transaction details

  • A description of the issue

  • Any relevant screenshots, messages, or supporting records

Submitting a request does not guarantee a refund or cancellation reversal.
