Refund Policy
Last updated:
1. Eligible refunds
You may request a refund in the following situations:
- Unused funded credit: the portion of your account balance obtained through payment that has not been consumed by API calls.
- Excess charges caused by a service fault: if a verified billing error incorrectly deducts credit, the erroneous deduction will be restored in full.
- Accidental payment: the unused portion of a duplicate payment or an incorrect amount paid by mistake may be refunded.
2. Refund amounts
- Within 7 days and unused — 100%: full refund, less the payment processor’s fee.
- Within 7 days and partially used — unused portion: the amount corresponding to the remaining funded credit is refunded.
- More than 7 days after payment and unused — 90%: a 10% handling fee is deducted.
- Excess deduction caused by a service fault — 100%: the verified erroneous deduction is returned in full.
3. Non-refundable situations
- Credit already consumed through API calls, because the corresponding service has already been used.
- Accounts suspended for violating Section 4 of the Terms of Service.
- Accounts using the refund policy for arbitrage, money laundering, or other abuse.
- Refund requests submitted more than 30 days after payment, except in special circumstances.
- Free promotional or trial credit, which has no cash value.
4. Refund process
- Email support@qionggeme.com with the account email address and reason for the refund request.
- Support will verify the account status and unused credit, usually within 1–2 business days.
- After approval, the refund will be returned to the original payment method used to fund the account.
- Settlement time depends on the payment channel; Alipay and WeChat Pay usually take 1–3 business days.
5. Additional terms
- Refunds are calculated in Chinese yuan. Payments made in another currency are converted using the current exchange rate.
- Payment processor fees, usually 0.6%–1%, are borne by the user and reflected in the refund calculation.
- Large refunds exceeding CNY 1,000 in a single request require additional review and may take longer to process.
- Accounts that repeatedly fund and refund in bad faith may have future funding restricted.
