1. Price and renewal
The Writer subscription is proposed at $15 USD per month, automatically charged each month until canceled. This is a monthly plan, not an annual commitment. There is no advertised free trial. Review the amount and any tax shown by Stripe before confirming a payment.
The app does not collect real payments during connection verification. A real live checkout purchase is a separate action. Customer sign-up remains closed during owner launch testing.
2. Included access
Paid access covers AI drafting, revision, proofreading, and genre assistance within the monthly request allowance displayed in your account. The allowance follows calendar months and does not roll over. The default configuration is 100 requests per calendar month; the final checkout disclosure and terms must match the launch configuration.
Ordinary writing, copying, and manuscript exports are not locked behind an active AI subscription. Keep your own backups. AI usage limits, provider availability, and content restrictions still apply.
3. How cancellation will work
Proposed policy: in Inkinerary Writing Studio, open your account, choose Manage billing (or Manage existing billing account), and cancel through the Stripe customer portal. Choose the cancellation option and confirm it in Stripe. Closing a checkout or browser tab, signing out, or deleting a project does not cancel a subscription.
The intended cancellation setting is the end of the paid billing period: cancellation prevents the next renewal while paid AI access continues through the remaining active period, subject to payment status and usage limits. This timing still requires an end-to-end hosted test before launch. Connection verification checks that cancellation is enabled, not that a cancellation has actually completed.
If you cannot reach the portal, email support@draftingsuite.com with your account email and a cancellation request. Do not include card details or sign-in codes. Save Stripe's cancellation confirmation for your records.
4. Proposed partial refunds: review pending
Owner-requested proposal, not yet effective: for an eligible discretionary refund of a $15 USD subscription payment, Inkinerary Writing Studio would return $10 USD and retain $5 USD from the original payment. The customer would not pay an additional $5 or $20. This is a proposed refund deduction, not a separate charge for stopping future renewals.
Canceling a renewal and requesting a refund are separate actions. Stopping future renewals does not automatically issue a refund, and no payment is required merely to stop renewal. Contact support@draftingsuite.com to request review of a refund, billing error, or duplicate charge.
Proposed first-purchase evaluation window: send your refund request to support@draftingsuite.com from your account email within five calendar days (120 hours) after your first successful subscription payment. Include the payment date and invoice reference if available, but no card details, API keys, or sign-in codes. The request deadline concerns when you send your request, not when support reads it or the refund reaches your bank.
You may use the app during this paid evaluation window; the $15 is charged at purchase, so this is not a five-day free trial. The voluntary evaluation offer is for the first subscription payment, not a new evaluation window at every monthly renewal. Separate billing-error and legally required refund rights still apply after the voluntary window.
Handling of tax, repeat purchases, and effect on remaining paid access still need review. The proposed $5 deduction is not a statement of Stripe's fees and is not yet legally approved. It requires legal and payment-provider review and must not reduce a full refund or other remedy required by applicable law. Billing errors, duplicate charges, and mandatory refunds must be considered separately rather than automatically applying the deduction. Any legally required longer cancellation period or greater refund takes precedence over this voluntary five-day proposal.
No refund or cancellation-fee automation has been enabled. Do not open customer sales until the final policy is approved, reviewed for the launch regions, and clearly displayed before purchase.
5. Nonpayment and account data
AI assistance requires a Stripe subscription that is active with a paid invoice for the configured plan. Failed or unpaid payments can prevent AI access. The app checks Stripe directly rather than granting access from a checkout success link.
Cancellation or loss of paid access does not automatically delete manuscripts, browser drafts, identity records, or legally retained payment records. See the Privacy draft. Account deletion and retention procedures are still being prepared.
