Refund Policy

Polar as Merchant of Record

All Ember purchases are processed by Polar, which acts as the merchant of record. Polar handles payment processing, VAT and sales tax collection, invoicing, and billing compliance.

Refund requests, statutory withdrawal requests, billing errors, and payment disputes are handled in accordance with the billing terms shown at checkout and applicable consumer law. For billing inquiries, contact Ember support at support@embersubs.com.

Digital Delivery

Ember is delivered digitally. Subscription access, license validation, download access, and included credits begin after checkout is completed and payment is confirmed by Polar.

Additional credit top-ups are digital purchases. When checkout is completed and payment is confirmed, the purchased credits are added to the selected eligible license.

EU Consumer Withdrawal Rights

Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), as transposed into Romanian law (Law 363/2007), you have a 14-day withdrawal right for distance purchases.

For digital content and services like Ember, where performance begins immediately upon purchase:

  • Before payment, Polar checkout requires two separate required checkboxes: acceptance of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and acknowledgment of immediate digital delivery with the loss of the 14-day right to cancel once access starts.
  • If you did not provide the immediate-performance consent on the Polar checkout page, you may exercise your withdrawal right within 14 days of purchase by contacting support@embersubs.com.

Your statutory consumer rights under EU and Romanian law are not affected by any other provision of this policy.

Subscriptions and Cancellation

You can cancel your Ember subscription at any time through the Polar customer portal or by contacting support.

Cancellation stops your subscription from renewing at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to Ember until the end of the period you have already paid for.

No refund is issued for the remaining time in your current billing period upon cancellation, unless required by applicable law.

No-Refund Policy

Except where required by applicable law or explicitly approved by Polar as merchant of record, Ember subscription payments, subscription renewals, current billing periods, and credit purchases are non-refundable.

  • Unused time remaining in a billing period is not refundable upon cancellation.
  • Unused credits attached to a completed purchase are not refundable once credits have been delivered to your account.
  • Credits you have consumed are used digital performance and are not returnable like physical goods.
  • A renewal charge is not refundable simply because the subscription was not cancelled before the renewal date.
  • If you believe you were charged in error, contact support with the purchase email, invoice or order identifier, charge date, and amount.

Approved refunds, where legally required or explicitly approved by Polar, are issued back through the original payment method by Polar. Nothing in this policy limits mandatory consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

Billing Issues and Legal Exceptions

To report a billing issue, request review of a charge you believe was made in error, or raise a statutory refund right, email support@embersubs.com with:

  • Your email address associated with the purchase.
  • Your Polar invoice, order identifier, or checkout receipt if available.
  • The date and amount of the charge in question.
  • A description of the issue or reason for your request.

Support will review the billing record and, where required, coordinate with Polar. Approved refunds may take additional time to appear on your statement depending on your payment provider.
