Cancellation & Refund Policy
Effective Date: March 10, 2026
This Cancellation and Refund Policy ("Policy") describes the terms and conditions under which you may cancel your account and request refunds for unused credits on the KKCompany AI Platform ("Platform" or "Service"). This Policy is part of and incorporated into our Terms of Service.
By purchasing credits or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Policy. Please review this Policy carefully before making any credit purchases.
1. Pre-Paid Credit Model
1.1 How Credits Work
The KKCompany AI Platform operates on a pre-paid credit model. To use the Platform's API endpoints, you must first purchase credits by "topping up" your account balance. Credits are denominated in US dollars (USD) and represent a stored monetary value on the Platform.
1.2 Credit Usage
When you make API requests through the Platform, the cost of each request is calculated based on the number of tokens consumed (both input and output tokens) and the per-token pricing of the model used. The calculated cost is automatically deducted from your credit balance after each request is processed.
1.3 Credit Balance
Your current credit balance is displayed on the Platform dashboard. You can view your balance at any time through the web interface or via the balance API endpoint. Your balance is updated in real time as charges are incurred.
1.4 No Expiration
Credits do not expire as long as your account remains active and in good standing. However, credits associated with accounts that are terminated for violations of the Terms of Service may be forfeited as described in Section 5.3 below.
1.5 Non-Transferable
Credits are non-transferable and may not be sold, gifted, exchanged, or otherwise transferred to another user or account. Credits have no cash value outside of the Platform except as provided in this refund policy.
2. Refund Eligibility
2.1 General Refund Policy
We offer refunds for unused credits under the conditions described in this section. Refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and we reserve the right to approve or deny refund requests at our reasonable discretion.
2.2 Refund Window
You may request a refund for unused credits within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the original credit purchase. This 30-day refund window applies to each individual credit purchase separately.
2.3 Eligible Refund Amount
The refund amount is limited to the unused portion of the purchased credits. If you have consumed some of the credits from a particular purchase, only the remaining unused amount from that purchase is eligible for refund. The refund amount will not exceed the original purchase amount.
For clarity, the eligible refund amount is calculated as follows:
- If you purchased $100 in credits and have used $30 worth of API calls within the 30-day refund window, you may be eligible for a refund of up to $70.
- If you purchased $100 in credits and have used the entire amount, no refund is available for that purchase.
2.4 Multiple Purchases
If you have made multiple credit purchases, each purchase is treated independently for refund eligibility purposes. You may request a refund for the unused portion of any purchase that falls within its respective 30-day refund window.
2.5 Currency and Payment Method
Refunds will be issued in the same currency and to the same payment method used for the original purchase. If the original payment method is no longer available, we will work with you to arrange an alternative refund method.
3. Non-Refundable Scenarios
3.1 Consumed Credits
Credits that have already been consumed for API usage are not eligible for refund under any circumstances. Once an API request has been processed and the cost has been deducted from your balance, that portion of your credits is considered fully consumed.
3.2 Expired Refund Window
Credit purchases for which the 30-day refund window has elapsed are not eligible for refund, regardless of whether the credits have been consumed. After the 30-day window, all remaining credits from that purchase are considered final and non-refundable.
3.3 Terms of Service Violations
Credits remaining in accounts that are terminated due to violations of the Terms of Service may be forfeited and are not eligible for refund. This includes, but is not limited to, accounts terminated for:
- Engaging in illegal activities through the Service.
- Violating the acceptable use policies outlined in the Terms of Service.
- Engaging in fraud, abuse, or manipulation of the Platform.
- Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or abuse promotional offers.
3.4 Promotional and Bonus Credits
Credits received through promotional offers, referral programs, bonus grants, or any non-purchased means are not eligible for refund. Only credits purchased directly through the Platform's payment system are eligible for refund under this Policy.
3.5 Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your payment provider instead of following the refund process described in this Policy, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and forfeit any remaining credit balance. We encourage you to contact us directly to resolve any billing concerns before initiating a chargeback.
4. Service Issues and Exceptions
4.1 Service Errors
If you experience a verifiable service error or technical issue on the part of KKCompany that results in incorrect charges being applied to your account, we will investigate the matter and, if confirmed, issue a credit adjustment or refund as appropriate. Service errors may include:
- Duplicate charges for a single API request.
- Incorrect token counting that results in overcharging.
- Charges incurred due to a Platform malfunction for which you received no usable response.
4.2 Upstream Provider Issues
Issues arising from upstream LLM providers (such as model errors, content filtering, rate limiting, or service outages on the provider's end) are generally not grounds for a refund, as the tokens were still processed and transmitted. However, if an upstream provider issue results in a complete failure to deliver any response and your balance was still charged, please contact us and we will review the situation.
4.3 Billing Disputes
If you believe there is an error in your billing or that charges have been applied incorrectly, please contact us at legal@kkcompany.com within thirty (30) days of the disputed charge. We will investigate and resolve the dispute as promptly as possible. Failure to report billing disputes within 30 days may limit our ability to investigate and resolve the issue.

5.4 Requesting a Refund Upon Cancellation
If you have unused credits that are eligible for refund at the time of cancellation, you should include your refund request as part of your cancellation communication. If you cancel through the Platform dashboard, you may separately submit a refund request via email as described in Section 6 below.
5.5 Reactivation
