Refund Policy

How Closed on Sunday refunds credit packs, failed renders and broken results, how long it takes and how to ask.

Last updated: 22 October 2026

We built Closed on Sunday so that you only pay for videos that actually finish. This page explains, in plain English, when you get your credits or your money back, how long it takes and how to ask. It is part of our Terms of Service and applies to every credit pack.

At a glance

  • Credits are only kept for videos that finish. If a render fails, they come back automatically.
  • A render that has not finished within 15 minutes is treated as failed and refunded the same way, with no request needed.
  • An unused credit pack can be refunded in full within 7 days of purchase.
  • There are no subscriptions, so there is nothing to cancel.
  • A clearly broken video gets its credits back when you tell us.
  • A real person answers every refund email within 2 business days.

Why you rarely need a refund

  • You see the price before you start. The generate button shows exactly how many credits the video costs for the length and quality you picked.
  • Credits are held, not lost. When you start a render the credits are set aside for that video. If anything goes wrong on our side, they go straight back to your balance.
  • Nothing renews. Packs are one-time payments, so there is no renewal to cancel and no recurring charge to dispute.

Automatic refunds

These happen on their own. You do not need to contact us, and the credits go back to the same balance they came from.

What happenedWhat you get backWhen
A video cannot be startedAll credits for that videoImmediately
A video fails to generateAll credits for that videoImmediately
A video does not finish within 15 minutesAll credits for that videoThe next time you open My Videos

You can see every video, including failed ones marked "credits returned", in My Videos.

Refunds of unused packs

Changed your mind? You can ask for a full refund of a credit pack within 7 days of purchase, as long as none of the credits from that pack have been used.

Pack credits stay usable for 30 days. We do not refund credits that expired unused, which is why the validity period is shown on the pricing page before you buy.

Broken results

AI output is never exactly the same twice, and a video that is not quite what you pictured is not a fault. But a result that is clearly broken is on us. We return the credits for a video when, for example:

  • the face from your photo is missing, cut off or badly distorted;
  • the video file will not play or download;
  • the video shows something you did not upload, such as a third person;
  • the audio is missing entirely;
  • the choir scene is not the one you picked.

Write to us within 14 days of making the video and include the date it was made. We check the video and return the credits, usually within one business day.

Most likeness problems come from the photo rather than the tool. A sharper, front-facing, evenly lit portrait gives the most accurate face.

What we cannot refund

To keep prices low for everyone, we do not refund:

  • credits spent on a video that was generated correctly but is not to your taste;
  • credit packs bought more than 7 days ago, or packs where some credits have been used;
  • credits that expired unused after 30 days;
  • accounts closed for breaking our Terms of Service, for example by uploading photos of children or creating extra accounts.

If your situation does not fit these rules, write to us anyway. We read every message and decide fairly.

How to ask for a refund

  • Email hello@closedonsunday.me from the address on your account, with the subject Billing.
  • Include the date of the purchase or of the video, and for a broken video a short description or a screenshot.
  • We reply within 2 business days, usually the same day.

How long it takes

Refund typeWhere it goesHow long
Failed or timed-out renderYour credit balanceImmediately
Broken videoYour credit balanceUsually 1 business day
Unused credit packYour original payment methodApproved within 2 business days, then 5 to 10 business days for your bank

Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record, and a card refund is issued through it back to the method you paid with. We never see or store your full card details, as explained in our Privacy Policy. Because that step happens outside the app, a card refund is a separate process from the automatic return of credits.

Chargebacks

Please contact us before opening a dispute with your bank. We can almost always solve the problem faster, and a refund from us reaches you sooner than a chargeback. Accounts with an open chargeback may be paused while it is reviewed, and are restored once it is resolved.

Your legal rights

This policy does not limit any rights you have under the consumer protection laws of the country you live in. If those laws give you more than this page does, they apply.

Questions

Closed on Sunday is run by a small, independent team. If anything on this page is unclear, email hello@closedonsunday.me and a real person will answer.
