Refund Policy

Refund & install guarantees

Last updated: 28 May 2026 · Effective from the same date
Plain English summary

Hosted plans start with a 14-day free trial — no card at signup, so you evaluate the full studio before paying a penny. If you're charged and change your mind, email within 14 days for a full refund. If a Sovereign self-host install isn't running in 24 hours, same: full refund plus we cover your setup time. Tom personally guarantees both.

1. The 14-day free trial (hosted plans)

Every hosted Scarif One plan — Solo or Studio — starts with a 14-day free trial. We take no payment method at signup. You get full access to the studio for the whole trial: generate as many ads, emails, and campaign briefs as you like, push them live, and connect every integration.

  • No card required to start — sign up and start generating
  • We ask for a card near the end of the trial, and the first charge lands on day 14
  • If you don’t add a card by day 14, your account drops to read-only — your brand profile and assets stay visible, generation is paused, and nothing is charged
  • You bring your own AI keys, so any AI spend during the trial sits on your own Google / Anthropic / OpenAI account, never ours

Charged and changed your mind?

If you’re charged at the end of the trial and decide within 14 days that Scarif isn’t for you, request a refund and we will:

  • Refund 100% of the amount paid (the original transaction, not pro-rated)
  • Cancel the subscription immediately, with no further charges
  • Process the refund within 5 working days of the request, via the original payment method
  • Preserve your data for 30 days after refund so you can re-subscribe at any time without losing what you built

How to request a refund

Go to /billingin your dashboard and click “Request refund”. You can also email [email protected] directly with your tenant slug. Tom personally reviews every refund request and replies within one business day. You don’t need to provide a reason.

What this means in practice

Generate as many ads / videos / emails as you want during the free trial. Run them. Push them to Meta or Google. If you don’t see Scarif paying its way, you simply never add a card — and if you do add one and then change your mind, you get the lot back. We accept the operational risk because the alternative — pretending tools always work for everyone — is dishonest.

Limits and exclusions (small print)

  • The 14-day money-back window starts from the first charge (the trial itself is already free)
  • Tier upgrades within an existing paid subscription don’t reset the clock — the original 14-day window applies to the original charge
  • Annual pre-pay accounts get the same 14-day full-refund window from the first charge. Beyond 14 days, annual subscriptions are not pro-rated (this is the trade-off for the discount); cancel and the rest of the year is honoured but not refunded
  • Refunds are only made to the original payment method

2. The 24-hour install guarantee (Sovereign self-host)

The Sovereign self-host licence (£1,999 one-time, ex-VAT) comes with a 24-hour install guarantee. If the platform isn’t running on your infrastructure within 24 hours of you starting the install, we will:

  • Refund 100% of the licence fee
  • Pay you for your setup time, capped at 4 hours × £100/hour (£400)
  • Help you uninstall cleanly if you ask, at no additional cost

What counts as “running”

The platform is “running” once you can:

  • Sign in to the dashboard at your installed URL
  • Generate at least one ad creative end-to-end
  • See the brand profile editor and at least one connected integration

We provide a documented step-by-step install guide and a Loom walkthrough. If anything is unclear, you can email [email protected] and we’ll respond inside 4 business hours.

What we ask of you

  • Install on a supported platform (current list at /docs/install)
  • Have your AI provider keys (Gemini, plus Anthropic / OpenAI if used) ready in advance
  • Reach out to support before the 24-hour mark if anything is blocking — we can’t fix what we don’t know about

3. Legacy entitlements

Scarif One ran several plans before the move to flat BYOK pricing (Solo / Studio / Sovereign). If you bought under a retired plan or discount cohort, the original terms recorded against your account are honoured in full — they don’t expire. If the in-app accounting ever looks wrong, email [email protected]with your tenant slug and we’ll restore it.

4. Tom’s personal guarantee

I’m Tom, the founder. I personally read every refund request and approve them. The refund flow doesn’t go through a support queue — it goes through me. If something feels wrong about how the refund or install guarantee was handled, my email is [email protected] and I read it.

Refund-rate transparency: we publish our refund rate in the public changelogevery quarter. We’d rather you trust the system because the numbers tell the truth than because we say nice things.
