Subscription Management
Subscription Plans and Billing Cycles
We offer various subscription plans with different features, limitations, and pricing. The specific details of available plans are described on our pricing page. Subscriptions may be offered on a monthly, quarterly, annual, or other recurring basis as specified during signup.
By subscribing to our Services, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription fees to your designated payment method at the beginning of each billing period. For monthly subscriptions, you will be billed on the same date each month. For annual subscriptions, you will be billed on the same date each year. If a billing date falls on a date that does not exist in a particular month (e.g., the 31st), you will be billed on the last day of that month.
Automatic Renewal
All subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled by you prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, you authorize us to automatically charge your payment method for the subscription term at the then-current rate. If the renewal fails due to payment issues, we may attempt to process the payment multiple times within a 7-day period.
Price Changes
We may change the price of our subscription plans from time to time. If we change the pricing for your subscription plan, we will provide notice of the change through our Services or via email at least 7 days before the change is to take effect.

Instruction for cancellation: Cancellation

To avoid charges, you must cancel before the end of the free trial period. You may be required to provide a valid payment method to start a free trial, and we may authorize a nominal charge to verify your payment method.
You are eligible for one free trial per subscription plan unless we explicitly permit otherwise. We reserve the right to determine eligibility for free trials and to limit or prohibit free trials at our discretion.
Refunds
All subscription fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms or as required by applicable law. In exceptional circumstances, we may, at our sole discretion, offer a partial or full refund. Any refunds will be processed using the original payment method unless otherwise specified.

Account Delinquency
If payment cannot be charged to your payment method for any reason (such as expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise), we will make reasonable attempts to notify you and retry the charge. If we are unable to charge your payment method after multiple attempts, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

Bot Commands and Permissions
Command Usage
Our bot responds to specific commands, which are documented at Commands. Commands typically begin with a designated prefix or mention of the bot, followed by the command name and any required parameters. For example: `!command [parameter]` or `@Bot command [parameter]`.
We reserve the right to add, modify, or remove commands at any time. While we strive to maintain backwards compatibility, we cannot guarantee that all commands will function indefinitely as originally designed.
Permission Requirements
Certain bot commands require specific permissions to function properly. These permissions fall into two categories:
1. **Bot Permissions**: Permissions that must be granted to the bot within the platform (e.g., Discord permissions such as "Send Messages," "Read Message History," "Manage Messages," etc.)
2. **User Permissions**: Permissions that the user invoking the command must have (e.g., server administrator, moderator roles, etc.)
Attempts to use commands without the necessary permissions may result in error messages or command failure. The required permissions for each command are documented in our command reference guide.
Command Restrictions
Some commands may be restricted based on:
- Subscription tier (free vs. premium)
- Server boost level or member count
- User roles or permissions
- Cooldown periods to prevent abuse
- Server-specific configurations set by administrators
Custom Commands
Where applicable, our bot may support custom commands created by server administrators. Server administrators are responsible for the content and functioning of custom commands they create. Custom commands must comply with these Terms, the platform's terms of service, and applicable laws. We reserve the right to disable custom commands that violate these requirements.
Command Outputs and Responses
Command outputs may include text, embeds, images, buttons, or other interactive elements. We do not guarantee the format, appearance, or exact content of command responses, which may change as we update and improve the bot.
Automated and Scheduled Commands
Where our bot supports automated or scheduled commands (such as recurring announcements or moderation actions), we do not guarantee the exact timing of execution. Scheduled commands may be delayed due to technical limitations, service disruptions, or resource constraints. Server administrators are responsible for configuring automated features appropriately for their communities.
