1. Scope and Purpose
This Payment Policy governs all payments, transactions, fees, commissions, refunds, and other financial operations conducted on or through the Platform accessible at https://animatefriend.com (the “Platform”). This Payment Policy forms an integral part of the Terms of Service and is binding on all Users.

2. Relationship to Other Policies
This Payment Policy shall be interpreted in conjunction with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and other binding policies published on the Platform. In case of conflict, the Terms of Service shall prevail.

1. Account Registration
User registration on the Platform is free of charge and no fees are charged for creating a user account. Upon registration, the user is automatically assigned the FREE Plan, which provides basic access to the Platform.

2. AI Content Generation
Users may generate AI-created Content using the AI models made available on the Platform. Content generation constitutes a paid service. Applicable pricing, together with information regarding available AI models and any usage limitations, is set out in the Pricing section of the Platform.

1. Cryptocurrency Payments (NOWPayments)
The Platform supports cryptocurrency payments via the third-party processor NOWPayments. Users must hold a supported cryptocurrency in their own wallet. Payments are typically processed almost instantly and are irreversible once confirmed on the blockchain. NOWPayments charges an approximate processing fee of 0.5%, plus variable blockchain network fees depending on the selected cryptocurrency and network conditions. All such fees are paid by the User.

2. Bank Transfer to Czech Republic (Česká spořitelna)
Payments may also be made via bank transfer to the Operator’s bank account in the Czech Republic.

EU / EEA Payments: Payments in EUR or CZK may be made via SEPA Credit Transfer. SEPA transfers are typically low-cost or free, depending on the payer’s bank, and usually take 1–2 business days.

Non-EU Payments (including USA): Payments may be made via international SWIFT transfer. Such payments may involve sender, intermediary, and recipient bank fees, as well as currency conversion fees when paying in USD or other currencies. Processing time may range from 2 to 7 business days. All bank-related fees are borne by the User.

3. Alternative Payment Arrangements (e.g. Debit Card)
If none of the above payment methods are suitable for you, please contact us at animatefriend@proton.me We may, at our sole discretion, arrange an alternative payment method on a case-by-case basis.

1. Refunds
By purchasing and using these services, the User expressly acknowledges and agrees that the services are delivered digitally and may begin immediately after payment. To the extent permitted under applicable EU law, the User acknowledges that the right of withdrawal may be lost once the performance of the service has begun. Refunds are generally not provided for services that have already been fully or partially delivered. However, this does not affect any mandatory rights of the User under applicable consumer protection laws, including the right to request a refund in cases of defective or non-conforming service.

2. Amendments
The Operator reserves the right to amend this Payment Policy at any time. Users will be informed of material changes in an appropriate manner. Continued use of the Platform after such changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Payment Policy.
