FUNDAMENTAL TERM: ALL PAYMENTS MADE TO ANIMAAT ARE FINAL, NON-REFUNDABLE, AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. You expressly acknowledge that you are purchasing access to a digital service and/or a discretionary status benefit, not a tangible good with a right of return.

Comprehensive Non‑Refundable Scenarios include, but are in no way limited to:

• All subscription fees and auto‑renewal charges.
• Rejection of your Verification or Badge application for any reason (including invalid, mismatched, or insufficient documents; region mismatch; policy non‑compliance).
• User error (incorrect region selection, accidental purchase, misunderstanding of service features).
• Fraud or misrepresentation identified post-payment.
• Fluctuations in exchange rates, bank fees, or processing charges.
• Partial use of a subscription period.
• Account suspension or termination due to your violation of the Animaat Terms of Use or Community Guidelines.
• Dissatisfaction with the service outcome, provided the service was rendered as described.

Sole Exception: A refund may only be issued if explicitly and mandatorily required by applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction, and even then, such issuance remains at the sole and absolute discretion of Animaat.
