Earned Credits are functionally identical to Purchased Credits and may be used for all credit-eligible features. Earned Credits have no cash value and are subject to the same terms as Purchased Credits.
4.3 How Credits Are Used
Credits may be spent on:
- Creating and publishing polls (credit cost displayed at time of creation)

Poll creators may download their own poll data at no credit cost. Credits are deducted at the time of the transaction and are non-reversible once spent.
4.4 Bonus Credits
Bonus Credits are promotional Credits granted at dvtd's sole discretion, including as part of pre-sale packages. Bonus Credits may be subject to expiry dates, usage restrictions, or other conditions communicated at the time of issue. dvtd reserves the right to modify, limit, or expire Bonus Credits at any time with reasonable notice. Standard Purchased Credits and Earned Credits are not subject to expiry.
4.5 Refund Policy
All Credit purchases are final and non-refundable. Credits cannot be exchanged, transferred, or refunded once purchased, except where required by applicable consumer protection law. If the Platform permanently ceases operations, dvtd will make reasonable efforts to provide notice and a credit use period before shutdown. dvtd does not guarantee any specific feature availability or credit utility beyond what is currently available on the Platform.
4.6 Account Suspension or Termination
If your account is suspended or terminated due to a violation of the Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy, Credits remaining in your account are forfeited without compensation. If termination results from dvtd's material breach, dvtd will make reasonable efforts to provide a refund of unused Purchased Credits.
4.7 Pre-Launch Credits
Credits purchased during the pre-launch phase (before the Platform is fully operational) will be held in your account and become redeemable upon Platform launch. Pre-launch Credit purchasers receive the bonus credits specified at the time of purchase. Credits purchased pre-launch are subject to the same terms as Credits purchased post-launch. The pre-launch phase timeline is subject to change as disclosed in the Pre-Launch Disclosure.
4.8 Non-Transferability
Credits are associated with a single user account and may not be transferred, gifted, sold, or assigned to another account under any circumstances.
