Cancelation of a Monthly Plan, Monthly Plan Renewal Failure, Cancelation of account, Refunds & Chargebacks

(a) Due to our payment processor not refunding their processing charge fees to us anymore (as of March 1st, 2023 https://support.stripe.com/questions/refund-fee-changes-for-businesses-on-ic-pricing) if you request a refund, we will deduct the 2.9% processing fee plus 60 cents for the original and refund transaction fees (https://stripe.com/pricing) from your refund amount and refund the difference after these fees.

The deeply discounted pricing of ‘monthly plan credits’ is there for users who are committed to using all of their monthly plan credits each month. Should you cancel a monthly plan, any remaining credits that are left in your account will be converted at the pay as you go rate of $1.75 per credit. For example, if you have 175 credits in your account and you want to cancel your monthly plan, after cancelation, you would be left with 100 credits (175 credits ÷ $1.75 = 100). The best time to cancel a monthly plan is at the end of the month when you have used all of your plan credits.  You can cancel your plan by going to the 'My Account' tab in your dashboard. Please note that if you cancel your monthly plan, you cannot go back onto a monthly plan until the following month.  This is to prevent users from circumnavigating our tiered monthly overage pricing by canceling there plan wih zero credits in it only to sign back up to a monthly plan purchasing initial monthly plan credits at $1 per credit.  Any account found doing so will have their monthly plan cancelled by us and will be credited back whatever the difference in the credits that they have used at the $1 rate converted to the $1.75 rate.  Example, you cancelled your monthly plan and went straight back on a 200 credit plan (cost $200) and used 100 of thiose credits.  We would calculate that your spend for those 100 credits at $1.75 per credit would be $175 dollars leaving $25 owed to you.  We would then convert the $25 owed into credits at the pay-as-you-go credit rate of $1.75 which would work out to 14 credits left in your account.   

(b) Accounts that have purchase and used over 12,000 credits in the past 12 months that  want to temporarily cancel a plan will be credited back the reduction of converted credits providing that the go back on a monthly plan within 60 days.  Example, if you come off of your plan on May 16th, you will have until July 16th to go back on a plan.  Therefore, if you go back on a monthly plan within that time frame, your account will be credited back the reduction in credits that was made at the time of monthly plan cancelation.

(c) Requested Refunds: When purchasing credits for your account, it does state in the pop up that appears before submitting the purchase that you have to refresh the page and to check that a receipt has been sent to your email address. If you do not see credits added to your account after a couple of minutes, you should refresh your page again to see if your balance increased. Again, please check your email for a receipt BEFORE trying to make the purchase again. Should you request a refund for multiple orders placed, unfortunately due to our payment processor not refunding their processing charges to us anymore as of March 1st, 2023 (https://support.stripe.com/questions/refund-fee-changes-for-businesses-on-ic-pricing) if you request a refund due to duplicate ordering, we have to deduct the 2.9% processing fee plus 60 cents for the original and refund transaction fees (https://stripe.com/pricing) from your refund amount.  We apologize for this, but this is out of our control.
(d) Refunds will only be given for any credits purchased within the current month and can only be made by requesting your account to be closed (by e-mailing us) These are the only credits that are eligible for a refund providing we replied to your refund request prior to you closing your account. If you close your account and then request a refund, we will not be able to refund you. This is because once your account is deleted in our system (in compliance with GDPR rules), we have no way of seeing what your credit balance was.  It's better not to close your account yourself and allow us to do this.  Any credits purchased in any month previous to the current month are non-refundable. Our discounted pricing is based on all of the credits being used once purchased at the discounted price therefore cannot refund ANY discounted credits from ANY previous months purchase which includes discounted bulk purchase credits. The dollar amount credited to your credit card (must be the credit card that you charged the credits to) given for any purchase of credits within the current month will be calculated at the regular Pay-As-You-Go rate of $1.75 per credit.  This is the rate that will be used to calculate the refund. For example, let’s say you had 1000 credits that rolled over from previous months and you were on a monthly plan which renewed for 600 credits.  This means that you would have 1600 total credits in your account.  However, only 600 credits are eligible for a refund as the 1000 credits were purchased from previous months purchases. Please note that when your orders use credits, they first use the last credits that were purchased and then any subsequent rollover credits from the previous months. So back to the above example. If your plan for the current month renewed at 600 credits and you used 100 credits in the current month, then only 500 credits would be eligible for a refund. Therefore, you will receive a refund of $285.71 (500 ÷ $1.75 = $285.71). To reiterate, balances from roll over credits that were purchased previous to the current month are NON-REFUNDABLE and will be forfeited upon account closure. So in the above example, 1000 of the credits would not be eligible for a refund and therefore would be forfeited upon account closure.  Credits cannot be transferred to any other account.  Again, due to our payment processor not refunding their processing charge fees to us anymore (as of March 1st, 2023 https://support.stripe.com/questions/refund-fee-changes-for-businesses-on-ic-pricing) if you request a refund, we will deduct the 2.9% processing fee plus 60 cents for the original and refund transaction fees (https://stripe.com/pricing) from your refund amount and refund the difference.

(e) Refunds on orders: We cannot give credit refunds (partial or in full) on orders where work has been started or completed. You may request as many adjustments to an order and we will do our best to get the photos to your liking. Only the initial edit is guaranteed to be returned within 24 hours and requested adjustments are not included in that calculated time although they take priority over new edit orders.  We can only give partial credit refunds on orders that are late past 24 hours due to the editor not completing the order in time. Calculated times are based on on the email you receive with our turn around time stated in the email. For times up to 26 hours (up to 2 hours late), you will receive 10% (in credits) for the amount of photos edited. For example, if we edited 40 photos you would receive 4 credits back. For orders up to 30 hours (up to 6 hours late), you will receive 20% equal to 8 credits back and for orders up to 36 hours (up to 12 hours late) you will receive 40%, equal to 16 credits back. Credit refunds will not be made due to things beyond our control such as an internet failure from our service providers (there is only one international line coming in to the Philippines). We have 2 service providers, a primary and a back up. Please understand that the edits are edited in a developing nation where even though it is very rare, the internet throughout a region has gone offline for a day or so which means that all service providers go offline. The last time this happened was 2018, so it is very rare.

(f)Should you forget to close your account and it renews on the 1st of the month, you have a 48 hour grace period (until midnight U.S.A. EST on the 2nd day of the month) to notify us that you intended to close your account but forgot to. We will then refund the renewal charge.  However, you must not have placed an order since the beginning of the new month as this will nullify the grace period and we cannot refund you the renewal.

(g) If your credit card does not process for your monthly plan renewal, as a one time courtesy, we will allow any orders to take place on your account on the 1st of the month (only) and after downloading those orders you will not be able to access your account until payment is successful for the monthly plan subscription renewal (even though you may have credits available in your account).  We may retry to renew your subscription up to 3 more times during the month.  If you do not update your credit card information to bring your account 'up to date' with your plan renewal prior to 1 day before the end of the month, it will be deemed that you no longer wish to maintain your account and your account will automatically be archived at the beginning of the last day of the month. This will result in the forfeiture of any unused credits in your account. Please note that $1 monthly plan pricing is contingent upon 'subscription renewal every month' unless cancelled prior to renewal.

(h) Monthly Plan - Customer Bank Chargeback Requests.   Prior to you disputing any charges you see on your credit card with your bank, that you create a ticket or live chat with us so that we can check to see if anything went wrong on our end (such as a request for you to be taken off of a monthly plan that was not done). Not contacting us first and disputing charges with your bank will result in your account being banned from having a monthly plan again.  If there's a charge to your account that you see that should not be there where you are inline with our terms here, we will take action to credit your account.  Not notifying us with your 'dispute of charges' first and disputing and charges on your credit card with your bank creates a chargeback situation on our merchant account.  The dispute process involves a considerable amount of work on our end if see that your claim is not a valid one.  As we have an impeccable 'zero dispute' record of no claims against us, we want to keep it that way.  Therefore we wont go through the dispute process at the risk of losing the dispute as it's your bank that decides whether or not your claim is valid and invariably they favor their customer (you).  And so if there are credits in your account to cover the cost of the disputed amount that you are requesting to be refunded,  we will just refund the amount and deduct the credits from your account.  If we have to do this, your account will no longer be allowed on a monthly plan again. Therefore, we stress that you please try to resolve this by asking us questions about any questionable charges BEFORE requesting a charge back from your bank.  Please note, forgetting to take your account off of a monthly plan beyond the two days grace period is not a valid reason to dispute charges to your card.

(i) No Plan Credits and Pay As You Go Customer Bank Chargeback Requests.  Prior to you disputing any charges you see on your credit card with your bank, that you create a ticket or live chat with us so that we can check to see if anything went wrong on our end (such as you accidentally clicked buy credits twice before the page reloaded resulting in a double charge to your account). Not contacting us first and disputing charges with your bank will result in your account being closed should we have to credit your account to prevent a chargeback.

(j) The closing of any account means that it will be permanently deleted. This includes any billing information and any and all photos and videos on our servers. This  cannot be undone once an account is closed.

(k) If you previously worked as a photographer for one of our active customers (Main account holder who has ordered at least 10 orders in the previous month) and and only uploaded through the white label website and then left to set up business for yourself, we cannot accept you as a customer without first getting the permission from the active customer.  This is just good business practice to ensure that our main account holders are not training photographers to work for them only to leave and become competition to them. You would not know of us if not for them. If you set up an account and we notice that you were a previous white label photographer, we will first inform the active customer. Should they request that we close your account, we will.  Any credits left in your account at the time will be refunded at the rate of $1.75 per credit. Exceptions: if you previously worked for the main account holder and had access or were receiving emails from the main account, then you are allowed to set up your own account. If you opened your new business more than 20 miles from the main account holders area central area of where they did business, then you are exempt from these terms as defined here in (k).

Photos and Videos

When using Photoandvideoedits.com or HD.Tours, users agree that they are the rightful copyright owners of any files uploaded, including photos, videos, and audio files, or have obtained written permission from the copyright holder. Users also agree to indemnify Photoandvideoedits.com and HD.Tours from any legal claims that may arise from unauthorized use of any files uploaded.

Users retain full responsibility and ownership of the photos and videos submitted to Photoandvideoedits.com or HD.Tours for editing, including ensuring that they have the necessary permissions and that the content is appropriate, accurate, legal, and of good quality. By uploading files to Photoandvideoedits.com or HD.Tours, users grant Photoandvideoedits.com and HD.Tours a commercial license to use the photos and videos in any way we see fit to promote our services, without the need to credit the user. However, Photoandvideoedits.com and HD.Tours will not have the right to sell the photos and videos to any third parties.

Photoandvideoedits.com and HD.Tours may also use any data collected from users, including personal and non-personal data, for customization of services, statistical reporting, and targeted marketing. Any aggregated data will be the sole property of Photoandvideoedits.com, and we will take appropriate measures to protect the data from unauthorized access.

No Plan Credits or Pay-As-You-Go credit purchases are not charged cloud server fees unless the user switches to a monthly plan at which time the fees are calculated for the entire month that their plan started in. Due to the deeply discounted Monthly Plan credit rate, users will be charged for cloud server fees for the total amount of original files uploaded to their account. They are charged in arrears as the total uploaded files cannot be determined until the end of the month. Any fees due are charged within 2 hours of the renewal of your monthly plan. The charges are calculated at the rate of 1 credit per 10GB (or part thereof) for files that are uploaded to your account. Only orders that are marked "Ready" or "Completed" from the previous month are calculated. If a user cancels their monthly plan, if applicable, cloud server fees will apply until the user has used all of their credits and starts to purchase either 'Pay As You Go' credits or 'No Plan' credits. 

Please note that shooting in RAW format significantly increases the file sizes of each photo. In order to keep your cloud fees as low as possible, some cameras can reduce the file sizes of the photos without adversely affecting the quality outcome of your photos. For example, the Sony A7 III offers the option to shoot compressed raw (cRAW) files instead of uncompressed raw (uRAW) files. Compressed raw files retain most of the benefits of raw files, such as flexibility in post-processing, but they have a smaller file size. You can enable compressed raw by going to the camera's menu, navigating to the "Quality/Image Size" settings, and selecting the compressed raw option.

You can also use Adobe DNG Converter which will compress raw files without losing image quality. This will convert your raw files to the Adobe Digital Negative (DNG) format using compression settings, which can reduce the file size while retaining the benefits of raw editing. We suggest that you ask Chat GPT to ask it how to reduce the file sizes of your particular model camera if you dont know how to do it.

Imposed Credit Additions/Deductions from your Account

If you upload an order with incorrect grouping, our system may be unable to process the order and return the photos to you. If this happens, we may charge a variable fee for correcting the order, which will be determined by the nature of the correction and may be charged at our discretion. To avoid additional charges, it's important to ensure that you select the correct grouping for each order when placing it.

You will not be notified if we have to correct an incorrect order as we assume that you need the edited photos back as soon as possible. The charge for this will be the credit cost for the incorrect order plus the corrected order cost.

Paid Adjustment Requests: If you do not select the correct 'paid' checkboxes for your adjustment requests, we will automatically correct them and add the correct credit charges to your account.

We reserve the right to make changes to any promotions or giveaways without notice. If credits have been purchased for a promotion that has been changed, amended, or discontinued, we will refund any unused credits for that promotion or amendment.

Priority Orders

When you choose the priority option for your order, it moves to the front of the line for editing. However, please note that this does not guarantee a specific turnaround time. Our standard turnaround time for all orders is 24 hours. If the assigned editor for your order is already working on a priority order, we will make every effort to assign it to another editor. However, depending on workload, this may not always be possible. We prioritize quality editing, which can take time. Therefore, we do not offer rush editing options with guaranteed turnaround times. If your priority order takes longer than 18 hours to complete, as a courtesy, you may request a credit refund of 5 credits by forwarding us the "photos ready" email.
