# Subscription & Billing Terms

The written terms for how Akira subscriptions are billed and what happens over their lifetime. For how to redeem a key, see [Using Subscription Keys](/faq/payments-and-related/using-subscription-keys.md); for how to pay, see [Payment Options](/faq/payments-and-related/payment-options.md).

## Renewal

Akira subscriptions **do not auto-renew.** Each subscription runs for the fixed term you bought and then ends. You are never charged automatically — to keep using a product after your term ends, you buy a new subscription. Because nothing recurs, there's no recurring charge to cancel.

## Expiry

When your term ends, **access to the product is revoked immediately.** There is no grace period. Reactivating means purchasing again. Your account itself stays — only the product access tied to the expired subscription ends.

## Transfers

Subscriptions and license keys are **non-transferable.** Once a key is activated or a subscription is tied to your account, it can't be moved, sold, or shared with another user. This matches the access-rights terms in the [Terms of Service](/policies/tos-term-of-service.md).

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Sharing or reselling your subscription is prohibited** and can result in termination without refund. See the [Account Termination & Appeals](/policies/account-policy.md) policy.
{% endhint %}

## Price changes

Prices can change over time. Any change applies to **new purchases and renewals** — it never retroactively charges an active subscription, since subscriptions don't auto-renew. The price you pay is the price shown at checkout.

## Currency

You're charged in the currency shown at checkout for your chosen payment method. Exchange-rate differences, card fees, or crypto network fees charged by your provider are outside our control.

## Refunds, disputes, and chargebacks

Billing is tied to our refund rules. In short:

* Refund requests follow the [Refund Policy](/policies/refund-policy.md) — within 24 hours of purchase, with a valid reason.
* **Opening a dispute or chargeback on an active subscription terminates it immediately and permanently**, even if the dispute later fails.
* Cryptocurrency payments are non-refundable.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Read the full [Refund Policy](/policies/refund-policy.md) before requesting a refund or opening a dispute — the chargeback consequences are irreversible.
