Refunds for unspent budget
How to get unspent budget back, and why part of it may be held for a while.
You can ask for the unspent budget of a campaign back once nothing on it can still earn. That means three things are true:
- Every clip in review has been approved or rejected.
- Every approved clip has finished its tracking window (7 days after approval unless the campaign sets another length). Approved clips keep earning until then.
- On a retainer campaign, no cycle is running. Refunds open once the current cycle closes and its creators are paid.
- Pause the campaign so no new clips come in.
- Clear the review queue for the campaign.
- Wait for the last tracking window to close. If one is still open, the refund request tells you the date refunds open.
- Open the campaign menu and request a refund. The campaign pauses at once.
- Our team reviews the request and pays the refund to the account that funded it.
The review hold
We may hold up to 10% of the refundable amount while the last view checks and any flags on the campaign are resolved. What is left of the hold is released afterwards.
What is not refundable
- Money already credited to creators for approved clips.
- Platform fees on that money.
- Card processing fees, where you paid by card.
