Draft: this document has not yet been reviewed by counsel and may change before sign-ups open.
This policy explains how top-ups, balances, and refunds work on MRAFX Gate. It forms part of the Terms of Service.
1. Top-up methods
- Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay (processed by Stripe)
- Alipay, WeChat Pay (processed by Stripe)
- Wire transfer (business accounts; contact us first for payment details)
Once a top-up completes, the amount is credited to your balance in the currency paid (CAD or USD). We issue an invoice for every top-up.
2. Balance rules
- Balance can only be used to pay for MRAFX Gate, bears no interest, cannot be withdrawn to third parties, and cannot be transferred to another account.
- Balance does not expire. If an account has no sign-ins or calls for 24 consecutive months, we will email you 30 days in advance; if there is still no response, we will handle the balance as required by applicable law.
- Bonus or promotional credit can only be spent, is not refundable, and may have a usage period as stated in the promotion.
3. When you can get a refund
You may request a refund of unused, paid balance at any time, provided that:
- The account has completed the verification we require;
- The account has not been terminated or frozen for fraud, unlawful activity, or serious breach of the Acceptable Use Policy;
- The funds are not subject to a chargeback, dispute, or investigation.
We will refund you without a request if:
- We withdraw a model you are using for upstream reasons and you do not want to move to another model; or
- We discontinue the service for reasons other than your conduct.
4. How and when refunds are paid
- Refunds go back to the original payment method. If that is not possible, we refund to a bank account in your name after verification.
- We process complete requests within 10 business days. Arrival time depends on the payment channel, typically 5 to 10 business days.
- Non-refundable fees already charged by the payment channel are deducted from the refund and itemized on the refund statement.
- Credit already spent is not refundable. We calculate usage from call records, which you can review line by line in the console.
5. Billing errors
If you believe a call was billed incorrectly, contact us within 60 days with the upstream request ID (the x-gate-upstream-request-id response header). If we confirm the error is ours, we credit the difference back to your balance.
6. How to request
Submit a refund request in the console, or email support@mrafx.com with your account email and the amount you want refunded.
