Premium content (e.g., rare bird species, habitat upgrades, ad-free access) is licensed to you, not sold. You have no ownership rights, and access to premium content ceases if your account is terminated.
All purchases are final. We do not offer refunds except as required by law or in cases of technical errors (e.g., content not unlocking), which must be reported within 14 days of purchase.
We reserve the right to adjust premium content pricing, availability, or functionality at any time without prior notice.
