Whether you complete your purchase in the App or on the Site, your purchases will be attributed to the account you are logged into at the time of purchase. Thereafter, you can enjoy your purchased content whether you log in to that account in the App or on the Site.
1. Subscription Models
Such in-service purchase features may be offered on an annual, monthly, weekly, or other basis and will be re-billed every year or month, depending upon the auto-renewable subscription model, until canceled by the User.
2. Payment Methods
App Payments will be processed through the Apple App Store and/or Google Play according to which account you log in. Web Payments will be processed through Stripe which allows you to pay by credit card or link. You may access the applicable in-service purchase rules and policies directly from the Stripe, Apple App Store, and/or Google Play. You acknowledge and agree that you are fully responsible for managing your in-service purchases and the amount you spend on in-service purchases within the Pica AI.

We will act reasonably in deciding whether to provide you with a replacement in-service purchase or issue you with a patch to repair the fault.
