[2] No automatic renewal

[3] Unused credits expire with membership

All four monthly/annual volumes are verified using purchase-button totals (6,000 annual credits cost $90, despite a rounded $8 monthly label). The free card states 3 daily credits but other free statements conflict, so a single free allowance is unconfirmed. The 1/3-credit rules concern watermark removal, not a separately stated background-removal rate.

Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.

Cancellation, sources & verification record

No automatic renewal; the FAQ states no refund policy, with support available for payment issues.
